Are you ready for some football? How about the new commercials? Here I will be blogging the good…and bad, new ads that the Super Bowl has become known for. Check back after each commercial break or updates. I probably won’t hit every one, but I’ll try to hit the high and low points 
Before we get started… How did Charlie Daniels get so old? Okay, that’s enough pregame show for me…Kick The Ball!
The Deaf / Blind school that Ray Charles graduated from is singing and signing America The Beautiful with Alicia Keys, in honor of Ray Charles. A nice tribute
- Kick Off! SB Commercial Blogging Officially Begins
- Pepsi commercial that will only appeal to young people that like hip-hop
- Lebron James has a lemonaid…I’ll pass
- Olympis MP3 player/camera. I seen this in a PC magazine, I think this will be a big seller for them
- Burt Reynolds and a grizzly bear selling Fed Ex…kinda funny
- A bad Bud Light ad
- Bad Diet Pepsi ad
- Go Dady.com using a fake congressional committee and a scantily clad lass. I like it, but that may be the computer geek in me
- Bud Light ad. 2 guys at a foot ball game uses camera phone to brag to a friend, but it turns out the guy is with the braggers girlfriend and his beer
- GREAT ad! Ameriquest– A guy with a hands free cellphone is talking to someone as he walks into a store, he tells the person on the phone “I hate to tell you this, but you are getting robbed” as he reaches into his pocket to pay the clerk. The guy behind the counter turns and sprays him with mace, hits him with a bat and a lady rushes in with a cattle prod!
- A stupid Quizno’s ad with a hot babe talking to a baby (with an adult mouth)
- I have seen more than enough of the new Will Smith movie
- A credit card company MBNA has Gladis Knight playing rugby…Huh?
- Honda is coming out with a half ton, 4 door pick-up. Looks nice.
- Lots of animals are running to a big barn, we find out the Budwiser Clydesdale are being led by a donkey. The animals all want to join the team, man looks at the donkey and says, “See what you started?” I guess that was suppose to be funny….
- A stupid Lays potato chip ad with M.C. Hammer
- Cops find a car parked with steamed up windows expecting to find “love birds” but it’s two guys eating new hot Subway subs.
- Pepsi again, music is coming from the bottle when you take the cap off. It’s a promotion with Pepsi & iTunes.
- Degree antiperspirant using dolls to show that some men never take risks, for those that do, there is Degree…STUPID ad.
- Another Pepsi / iTunes ad
- The new Cadillac is HOT! A nice sports coupe that does 0-60 under 5 seconds…I want one
- Another Bud Light ad, a guy is hitting on a hot girl, he won’t leave her alone so a tough cockatoo marches down the bar to smack him up a bit and chase him away. I thought it was stupid, but my dog growled at the bird, so I guess he liked it. (he barked at the Bud ad with all the animals too, he thinks horses are dogs, I just can’t watch a western with him in the room
) - A new Batman movie is on the way.
- Butkis, Refrigerator Perry and another football player (name escapes me) keep telling us they are Diana Perl, at the end, Dennis Rodman is in a tub and says HE is Diana Perl…I think it was an ad for hot tubs… or something.
- A bad Michalobe (sp?) ad makes me open another Miller.
- A cool pirate ship ad turns out to be a NASCAR ad…Huh?
- the Half Time ads are mostly normal local stuff except for a new Nisson SUV ad. Everyone is going to the bathroom and not watching TV, so no really big ads I guess.
- Oh No! Lots of football players singing “Tomorrow” for the NFL…baaaaad.
- 3rd time for the new Mustang ad…we get it, it will be out in spring because you don’t introduce a convertible this cool in winter…nice tag line but 3 times before the 2nd half kickoff?
- Just an FYI, Paul McCartney had no malfunctions with his wardrobe…Thank God!
- The Olympus mp3 player/camera combo again.
- Tabasco sauce ad has a babe in a bikini getting sunburn, the song Burn Baby Burn plays as she looks at her sunburn…it was better than it sounds here
- The tv show 24 tells us that this ad cost them $2.4 million, but it’s worth it for the best show on tv.
- Everyone at an airport stops and applauds a group of solders walking through the airport…this was a very moving thank you from Anheuser-Busch! A great ad!
- Napster ad running down the price of Apple and iTunes.
- Ameriquest Mortgage has another great ad! A guy is making dinner, his cat knocks over a pan of spaghetti sauce as he has his back turned to cut up other ingredients. When the pan of sauce hits the floor, he turns around with knife in hand and picks the cat up by the scruff of the neck…just as he does this his wife walks in seeing the cat, the knife and what looks like blood all over the floor…the tag line is “Don’t judge too fast”. It’s a very funny commercial!
- Cialis erectile dysfunction medicine…. for a second I thought it was email SPAM
Remember, a 4 hour erection requires medical attention. (They said it, not me!) - The Honda RidgeLine truck again, we get a better look at it, it’s like a 4 door pick-up with a short bed. I still kinda like the look of it
- Kid Rock, Shaq and a few others are miniaturized to advertise the Verison video phone
- Miller Light does a good job running down the new Budwiser Select…Made me thirsty, time for another MGD!
- Not an ad, but they showed Clinton and Bush 41 watching the game like they were best buddies
- Prius, the gas/electric highbred still looks like something I wouldn’t be caught dead in, but it will make the Enviro-Nazi’s happy
- A Bud Select ad, they didn’t attack Miller, but it made me thirsty again, so…
- A stupid ad using cartoon characters, things like Charlie Tuna and they say “tuna $2.39″ and Green Giant “broccoli $1.79″… you get it, it was priceless… but the ad stunk!
- A dad tells his kid she can’t eat daddy’s nuts, if she does, there will be no more unicorns. A unicorn walks into the room and says “that’s not true”, then Santa materializes and asks why he said the same about Santa if she ate his cashews, then the Easter Bunny pops up and says “and what’s up with telling her the Easter Bunny ‘gets it’ if she eats some other nuts…I guess it was an add for a nut company
- P-Diddy is back with a disco in the back of a Diet Pepsi truck
WhooHoo, it’s over! Patriots 24 Eagles 21 incase anyone cares about the score
I’ll post any good post-game ads if anything happens worthy of blogging about.
- Another great Cadi commercial. This one has two teenagers trying to elope, they are driving down the road but find the girls father blocking the road. The boy is scared, but the girl says “Daddy, we are getting married tonight and you can’t stop us!” the father smiles and says “that’s fine honey, but take your mom’s car.” He wouldn’t let her steal his new Cadi
- Verison Wireless had a fun ad, a pet shop is trying to call this guy that bought a pet snake, they were trying to warn him that they accidentally gave him a poisonous snake, but he couldn’t hear them because he had a crappy cellphone, not Verison.
