Super Bowl Commericals (Fourth Quarter)

Coke Zero - Repeat: Eh - not quite deserving of its predecessor. Coke Zero commercials were never that funny to begin with. At least give the kid the suit jacket - who wants a ripped shirt?

Cash4Gold.com - MC Hammer: Much better anticipated than when I first saw it was going to be a cash for gold commercial. MC Hammer seems to be the default old guy for cheap commercials every super bowl.

Taco Bell - Call me sometime: Old. Was funny the first time but gets old really fast.

GE - Smartgrid Technology: Why does the vast majority of America need to know about smart electrical grids? It's not like we have a choice for which energy company we use. Cute touch with the Wizard of Oz though. Still, someone please tell me why we need to know about this.

Hulu: See commercials anytime: It only softens the brain. Probably very true and people are still going to watch commercials over and over online...

Finally getting dinner...

GE - Wind Power: Another pretty good commercial from GE but the question still remains: Why does most of America need to know GE is building windmills? Can I buy one for my backyard to reduce my electric bill? No? Then why do I care? Do they want me to donate to them or something?

Pepsi - MacGruber: Umm....Yes, I get the reference. However, what does MacGruber stand for? Obviously not resourcefulness, he's not a hero, he's just a corporate sellout who even changes his name because a company pays him. So which Pepsi person thought it'd be a great idea to portray your company as the one promoting sellouts? What happened to individuality? Not to mention the result of said selling out is getting blown up?

There's been surprisingly few commercials this quarter. The Cardinals just scored but it didn't go to commercials. Is it possible that not only has NBC had to run crummy ads multiple times to fill airspace but has also simply run out of ads? As cool as an overtime game would be, I don't know if I can take too many more crummy commercials. (For the record, I will take an overtime game even if I have to look away

Bud Light Lime: Doesn't make me want to try it. Maybe Bud Light figured most people would be too drunk at this point in the game to realized that simply carrying Bud Light Lime doesn't equal girls and sunshine.

The FCC needs to stop the "committee hearings." There's no reason for that.

And still no more commercials. Either NBC is completely out of commercials or they're idiots. If I had anyone will to pay anything close to what a Super Bowl ad goes for, take the money and run! It's like an empty hotel room - even if the hotel doesn't get 100% of its target price, it's not like it can save it for tomorrow to see if the price goes up. Once the Super Bowl is over, it's over!

And now the Super Bowl IS over. And we're still not going to commercials.
