Favorite Super Bowl 08 Commercials

I loved the one with Shaq riding the horse, especially because it had a slow motion shot of a little kid with flaming red hair and freckles picking his nose.
Seeing a ginger kid digging for gold might be one of the funniest things a man can witness, IMO.

PS- DRave, you hit the nail on the head and I believe you're in the early running for post of the year.

Will Ferrell (aka Jackie Moon)'s Semi-Pro/Bud Light commercial was pretty funny I thought

Bud Light...suck one

LOL Jackie Moon...

That was great

I think it's gotten to the point where Ad Agencies aren't putting out the efforts they once were, and that expectations are higher than ever when it comes to commercials.

The Doritos one with the mouse coming through the wall was the best I thought. The Shaq one sucked, except for the perfect rendition of AMD at the race track (digging for gold).

Diet Pepsi Max one was decent. The Budweiser Clydesdale (Hank) one was good. So was the Bud Light "wine and cheese" one. And the Toyota one where all the people are racing Big Wheels was good.

The Coke one with Stewie, Underdog and Charlie Brown was my wife's favorite.

One of the quotes from the Jackie Moon/Bud Light commercial is currently my IM away message: "A lot of sweat goes into every bottle. Not literally, that would be gross, but you know what I mean."

I really liked that one too. I was waiting for Lucy to come outta nowhere and take the coke away from Chuck at the end though.

That would have been perfect

I did not think that the writers strike would affect advertisments.

It doesn't.

The Doritos commercial with the rat busting through the wall to beat the crap out of the uppity guy and take his 'ritos.

I liked that one for the surprise factor, and it was funny the way the guy in the rat suit started punching the guy, but I don't think it would be that funny the second time I saw it. Overall, pretty horrible year for commercials.

As to the SalesGenie commercials. I have no idea what they were about, but there was a piece on Sunday Morning discussing SB Commercials and apparently the owner of the company wrote those spots himself. Last year they apparently had a really awful commercial and it generated enough traffic that he thought it would be worth it to run another awful commercial. I don't quite get the logic, unless it was the idea that it would be so bad that it would make you remember the name even if it was because you hated/were offended by the ad. I guess the idea is that a strong emotion, even if negative, is better than no emotion to a mediocre commercial.

Anything by Victoria's Secret.

Oh and the Will Ferell one was funny too.

I think there's been a pretty serious public backlash in recent years with respect to the halftime show and the ads. After the whole Janet Jackson boob thing everything has seemed a lot tamer. I would've let my two year old watch this year's halftime show, and I don't really recall anything that would stir up much in the way of FCC complaints as far as the ads go.

The whole production seemed to get edgier and edgier every year, and now it seems a lot tamer and family friendly.
