Superbowl Ads
2/7/11 | Vanity

I'm curious what people though in general of the Superbowl ads. Do you have a favorite. Did you like them?

I thought the Doritos ad with the guy sucking someone's finger and snifing someones pants was disgusting. I also thought the "cram it in the boot" Mini Cooper ad was vulgar and offensive.

I did like the Career Builder monkey parking ad, although I'm not sure why they used monkeys.

The monkeys in the parking lot was the best, hilarious.

Th MOST disgusting was the one where they killed a baby by throwing him/her into a plate glass window.

"HomeAway.com. Their entire commercial seemed like a setup for them to throw a baby into a plate glass window. It's not a great punchline and wasn't a great commercial." ( http://valdostatoday.com/Radio/Rock108/Rock-Blogs/Super-Bowl-Commercials-The-Winners-and-the-Losers.html )

So that is humour now? Throwing a baby into a plate glass window? WinTheFuture???

I have already forgotten all of them — except the Doritos ad. I wish I could forget it, but I can't.

Overall, I thought they were far below other years’ ads.

Bud is the king of ads.

The finger sucking was beyond disturbing and gross.

My favorites were the Dart Vader kid, House, & Ozzy calling Beiber a girl.

I thought most of them were dull and unimaginative. However I did like the ones that started out making you think it was about some PC cause like Tibet or Environmentalism and ended up being some travel company ad.

The halftime show was disgusting also.

“Obama educate these kids”??? This is the superbowl now?

Extremely disppointing super bowl ads this year.

In fact, other than the game itself, the super bowl itself was pretty lackluster and mediocre.

The flubbed singing of the national anthem was a good indicator of the things to come.

Most of the ads were stupid, not funny but almost all of them were boring.

The half time show was one of the worst in super bowl history.

I would give a grade of C- to this super bowl.

The Doritos ad was disgusting.

The Bud Light Sergio Leone/ Elton John was brilliant.
The Coca Cola Border was also brilliant. Kubrik would be applauding in his grave.

Ugh.

Glad we watched reruns of Criminal Minds instead.

The Doritos with the fish, plant and grandpa was the one I chuckled at the most..

Can’t ever go wrong with monkeys.. Careerbuilder I believe..

I thought the same about the finger and the boot.. a little too many gay references in some of the commercials..

The Chrysler ad was THE worst.

“Imported from Detroit”?

So what we have here is an Avenger/Sebring made over to look better as it sits in the airport rental car lots.

“Imported from Detroit”?

I nearly puked.

It wasn’t a great year for the commercials. I thought the best were Doritos “Grandpa”, Audi upscale prison, and the Ozzie/Bieber looks like a girl.

IMO, not one commercial was worthy of remembrance.
