I can't believe we don't have a thread about this yet!

I must say, as a whole, I was pretty disappointed in the lack of interesting commercials. But, there were a couple I found interesting.

My favorite had to be the one where the doctor kills the fly with a paddle!

"But FedEX hasn't been invented yet!" "Not my problem." Yeah, I liked that one too.

I also liked the Diet Pepsi stunt double one, and the backyard football, "I'll be open," one.

I didn't watch too much of the game, so I didn't see too many commercials. But I definitely enjoyed the backyard football one. I enjoyed the late hit off the bar stool.

I think the Football one was my favorite too.

I was REALLY surprised at the one for the Catholic Churches though! That might be the worst commercial for the church I've ever seen! I'm a Catholic and it made ME think twice about going to church!

If you didn't see it (or don't remember it because it was a really simple, short commercial). Some woman walks into a room, walks up to the camera and says basically

"ok, so some guy is born, gives some sermons, teaches some lessons, cures some diseases, gives his life WILLINGLY so that we can be without sin and then comes back to life 3 days later. What are you crazy?"

Then she walks out of the room and the lay-over print says "WHAT IF IT'S TRUE? Visit a Catholic church near you".

HOW LAME IS THAT?

WHAT if it's true? Thats the message we wan't to convey? WHAT if it's true?

It's like saying, "Hey, what the hell do have to lose, hedge your bets just in case we're not crazy".

Worst advertisement EVER. Someone on Madison Avenue should be getting their resume together.

I didn't see too many of the commercials because my hubby is a channel surfer. but I really liked the beer commercial with the rotating "magic fridge" and the one with Fabio. I thought they were hilarious.

It was a lackluster year for commercials.  My favorite was actually the mastercard commercial featuring Richard Dean Anderson, aka MacGuyver.  It's an old concept, but great.


 


The careerbuilder.com commercial where he comes in to the office with the monkeys I think playing Quiet Riot on the radio was pretty good too.

I think the second careerbuilder.com commercial was by far the best.  They guy who works in the office full of monkeys was talking on the phone to a female who works in an office full of jackasses.  That killed me!!

Amazingly, I recognized a couple of those jackasses.

I didn't see too many of the commercials, but I liked the streaking sheep and the magic fridge. That was funny. I'm afraid I slept through the rest. Doesn't say much for the quality of the commercials.

It was sort of a disappointing lot this year.  I do have to put in a plug for my company though... the Sprint "security feature" commercial made me laugh out loud.  I can't tell you how many times I've thought of throwing my phone at someone's head.

The Fabio one is for an insurance company. He's looking like a cover of a romance novel then the girl looks up and he is an 85 yr old. The line " Life comes at you fast."

They have both of the Sprint ones on our intranet site taking votes on which is better.  Hands down the crime deterrent is winning.
