The Charger ad managed to combine misogyny and the least appealing aspect of consumerism: being a man is terrible, women are the reason, so you deserve to console yourself with an unnecessarily large and expensive vehicle!

Boo on reusing advertising. If you're going to pay that much money to advertise for 30 seconds ($1.5 million, right?), come up with something new. It was the first time I saw it though. Also - apologies for the earlier typos. On my phone, I can't review my comment. :) I wasn’t aware that it want original. Boo on reusing advertising.

Although it's apparently not original to the Super Bowl, most people saw it for the first time then, and I know it brought tears to a few eyes. Agreed on the Google ad.

It demonstrated the product, didn't resort to cliches and avoided using celebrity endorsements. As if it were possible that someone out there doesn't know what Google is or does, but if there were someone who was unfamiliar, they would have been well introduced and curiousity would have been piqued, IMHO.

Awesome. So was the Doritos commercial with the little kid and his mom's suitor. But you missed the boat on the Dodge Charger and Jim Nantz commercials, especially the Nantz one which I thought was among the best.

What kind of dude doesn't like the KISS midgets, hot chicks and Chargers. Also what is so entertaining about a 30 sec dialog with David Letterman, Oprah, and Jay Leno. Who cares if their competing late night show host. Lebron and Dwight Howard playing basketball over a big mac meal. Like those guys couldn't get 30 of them catered in with one jesture. BAH!!

Second was the little kid saying "Stay away from my Doritos, Stay away from my Mom" or something like that. Reminded me of my kids when they were pre-teens. Third, the horse and the bull. Missed the Tim Tebow one altogether, which was fine with me. The Betty White/Abe Vigoda one was first.

I was laughing so hard, that I missed the Tim Tebow ad. Next for me was the Letterman ad with Oprah and Jay Leno, and then the '85 Bears doing the Super Bowl Shuffle spoof. Rolling out Jim McMahon on a hover-round was great. The Betty White Snickers commercial with Abe Vigoda at the end was the best, no question. I was laughing so hard, that I missed the Tim Tebow ad.
