Pretty good... the ads of last year's superbowl was a few steps back. I think they sucked for the most part. Hoping this year to be better/more humorous.

There are two type of people in this world:
1. People that watch the Super Bowl for the commercials / enjoy the commercials with the game
2. Doesn't understand the hype, they're just commercials. Fast forward or go to the bathroom
I fall into the #2 category.
With that being said, I'm not here to just bash the #1's. I have watched and enjoyed the commercials for the Super Bowls because it's a fun betting game. I usually watch the game with my in-laws and they like to bet on just about everything. We'll have squares for a couple bucks, a questionaire I'll create that asks if there will be a safety and how many yards PersonA will rush for (O/U), we'll do straight bets and this "guess the series outcome" game which is A LOT OF FUN. It's about the same as the "guess the first commercial after this series".
There are 8-12 categories:
Beer
Soda or other drinks
Car
Internet (GoDaddy, Amazon, etc.)
Movie
Network promotion
Fast food
Snack food
and so on.
As the game is being played, you simply call out your choice. The person with the most amount right at the end of the game wins the pot. You can get fancy with the way the choices are picked (no duplicates, tags that go on your beers, etc.).
As for the commercials themselves, nothing beats the Budweiser frogs.

I liked it.....but I sure didn't get emotional. I guess I'm just cold. I have a guinnea pig in my barn fride/freezer......and the freezer part doesn't work anymore. So, I unplugged it - because I'm not letting the freezer run constantly while it's not cooling.
Consequently, we lost 25 bags of corn......and the guinnea pig is stinking up the joint. Why do I care? Because the little finger biting baby woodchuck is my daughters, and I can't bury the big toothed rat in this weather. So, the little scoundrel is packed in ice, and I'll be buying a freaking fridge/freezer tomorrow.
I'm as sentimental as they come.........just not tonight.

Dang.
Dead rat on ice. Cash-flow heading out.
Under these circumstances, I can see why the commercial didn't exactly tug at ya a little.
Maybe you could watch it in the barn next to the dead li'l sucker? The smell alone is probably enough to bring a tear to your eye...
(just messin' with you a little...  )
Dawg, that's some serious dedication on your part. Your daughter is lucky. Her Pops is a good man.

Well, so far I like the Radio Shack "The 80s called and they want their store back" ad, and the Cheerios one where the dad is explaining how the little girl is gong to have a little brother ....... and she looks him dead in the eye and says "And a puppy".

Agree. We are a diverse nation and I love that but it's "Out of many, one". It doesn't work the other way. In fact it lessens us.
No apologies. It was crap.

the transformers commercial.

Let me see, off the top of my head ... The Doberhuahua was great. The Radioshack 80's commercial, the Doritos time-machine and T-mobile ones with Tebow were good as well.

I believe it was to show diversity.. And that as many countries we think hate us...The people who live here don't....I was cool with it.... Who are we to judge a language when the rights of others are being published daily for their needs to feel equal.
It's America....Love it !.... Don't judge it...or you will be like everyone else.

I got a completely different read from the 'controversial' Coke commercial than many in this thread. I'm in Deisle's camp- I actually liked it.
For me, it said this: America is the one place on Earth that everyone comes to. They speak different languages and hail from different points on the globe, but ALL choose as their destination, this place.
The choice of "America The Beautiful" wasn't coincidence, either. "Oh beautiful for spacious skies; for amber waves of grain" sets the tone. The next line sung in English: "America, America- God shed His grace of thee." The last sung in English: "From sea to shining sea."
I was not insulted in the least. On the contrary, It actually touched me.... and I'm surprised that I've seen such a strong negative reaction to it in this thread. While watching it, I didn't even consider that others might not react in the same way I did... I just assumed that everyone would see it as I did.
____________________
In my humble opinion, there really is something to the philosophy of 'American Exceptionalism.' What makes this country special is the exceptional people who make their ways to these shores. In 1740. In 1802. In 1890. In 1920. In 1980. In 2014.
I come from a family of immigrants. So do you all. So do the peoples represented in this commercial. The strongest, brightest, fiercest, most determined Human Beings from all over the world make their ways to these shores to be part of this grand 200+ year-old civic experiment. America is exceptional because of the promise she represents to ALL people. A promise that gets fulfilled when a new citizen raises his/her right hand at all naturalization ceremonies. A promise that is enhanced and paid forward by every immigrant success story that gets played out upon these shores.
Without diversity, without dialogue, without dissent, discussion and yes- dialect, we are less than our potential.
We can fight about this in some other thread, at some other time. I loved the commercial, and found it to be one of the best of the evening.
If it's just me and Deezy, it's still easy-peasy. We can hold it up. Together. We're Americans.

I loved the idea of the commercial.
I was talking with my roommate up here about it. I explained to him the "controversy" behind the advertisement. He didn't see the issue, either. We both agreed this nation is a melting pot that needs to embrace the racial, cultural, and ethnic diversity.
So what if people sing an American patriotic song in the language they deem most comfortable to them? They are given them the freedom to do so. They appreciate what this country has to offer in promising freedom to use whichever language they wish. They appreciate what this country promises in equitable rights for all citizens of this country regardless of gender, religion, race, culture, etc.
I don't see the big deal, honestly.

Thumbs up in support of your last 2 choices, Y.
Budweiser always does a great job with their Super Bowl ads. It really did make me have to catch my breath.
I'm also glad that General Mills decided to give 'the family' another Super Bowl shot. Given the immediate backlash they received last year, I was sure I'd never see another commercial with this cast. Good for them- for sticking to their guns.
Can't wait to see next year's commercial with "new baby brother" -and the puppy.

Not sure I get the outrage for it either. There's reasons to dislike Coca Cola. Like what they do to the price of water in third world countries and the fact that there's something like 15 tablespoons of sugar in a 12 oz. can.
That commercial doesn't make the cut.

Best Commercials
1 Radio Shack
2. Dannon yogert
3. Bud with the adopted puppy
Worst by far, hands down no contest. The Coke commercial, what a load of horse crap.

What was wrong with it exactly? They weren't disrespecting the song. It was showing how diverse America is.

j/c
was their a car company that didn't have a commercial? hated that every other commercial was a car one though I found the Maserati for the working man commercial to be high comedy.
my favorites:
NJ/NY themed mobster Peanut M&M commercial
Tebow!!! (love when people are able to make fun of themselves)
Full House yogurt commercial
Radioshack 80s commercial
