The game was great, but were the ads?

The Super Bowl is widely believed to be the biggest day of the year for TV commercials.

Bud, Pepsi, Bridgestone, even Cash 4 Gold advertised.

NBC’s Hulu.com has all of the Super Bowl commercials. To the right is the Hulu.com embed code.

Clicking a thumbnail will take you to the Hulu.com site (one of my favorites, an amazing site). You can vote on ads at Hulu.com as well.

AdAge.com rated the commercials. It’s favorite?

AdAge.com’s Bob Garfield gave two ads 4 stars:
Coke Zero’s Mean Troy, a remake of the 1980 Mean Joe Greene ad, received four stars for its spot-on, word for word remake of the 1980′s classic.

The other top ad according to Bob Garfield came from Monster.com, an ad called Double Take.

The lowest rated ad? Garfield gave zero stars to Teleflora, for “ridiculing homely people about how ugly and sad they are. ”

The Oklahoman’s Matthew Price of Nerdage fame has embedded Super Bowl videos on his blog with some comments, check it out.
