am i the only one who thought the commercials that aired during the superbowl, and halftime, were astoundingly disappointing? i think the only commercials that made me laugh were the Bridgestone one with the forest animals (and Gene and Richard Simmons) and the woman in the SUV screaming while the driver tried to avoid hitting the squirrel, and the Tide pen one with the guy in the interview and his screaming stain on his shirt. The Coca-cola one with the Stewie and Underdog balloons fighting over the bottle, with Charlie Brown triumphing was cute, and the Doritos one with the guy watching the mousetrap was okay when the giant mouse bowled him over..... but seriously? these are supposed to be the most sought-after spots in t.v. advertising ALL YEAR.

i thought the rest were huge wastes of a gazillion dollars.

They must have been pretty effective to have you thinking about them. They did their job, trust me.

nah, my point is that they spend SO MUCH MONEY on these commercials, and only these few actually stood out. people wait all year and stay glued to the teev to see what brilliant marketing campaigns the bigwigs have come up with, and usually people are talking for weeks after the event. yes, there were a few that i enjoyed. but a FEW? historically, there have been a dozen or more....

Even though you didn't like them, you have gone through the trouble of telling people you didn't like them, and if those people are anything like me, they would search youtube for the ads... Its all part of their schemes

I would say the ads he listed did their job, but not the shit ones. How can I look up videos he hasn't bother to list as bad?

Burn.

Lol, unfortunately, he got the name wrong. It wasn't Gene Simmons, it was Alice Cooper.

Accutaly they where all quite funny! I liked them.. Even being pissed to death that i wanted to see the game and not ads.

[albinoAZN]

my favorite ads were the etrade ones with the talking baby..... And the creepy clown.

The clown one was good.
