For some reason I failed to see my Green Bay Packers in the Superbowl. Perhaps it was just some sort of oversight.
I did catch Brett Favre on a Hyundai commercial – probably the only one that remotely made me chuckle.
For the last 5 years or so, the Superbowl commercials commanded more of my attention than the game itself. Yet last night, something was missing and I couldn’t quite put my finger on it. Oh yea, a good commercial.
I was disappointed. At a couple million per commercial slot, I expected more. Sure the old favorites were there…
eTrade – ok, the kid is getting older. But nothing new there – kind of getting creepy.
Toyota – apologizing for the recent recalls. Really? You are going to spend a couple million to remind people your cars currently suck?
Hyundai – Seemed the runaway winner in my book. The funny part is that Favre just may be playing in 2010.
Budweiser – Yet another “friend” in the pasture commercial? I get it. Move one to something better. Next year I suspect it will be a Clydesdale and a Turtle
Doritos – Really, that was your best shot?
So, who was your favorite?

I suppose this is where you look for some witty insights to my mind. A "bio" of sorts. Here is the deal... I ride motorcycles, smoke cigars, golf, kayak, fly, race my car through the mountains, write (a lot), and travel extensively. I am almost old enough not to care what other people think about me...almost. ~ Godfather
Hey the first big Doritos commercial where teh kid smacks the guy who comes over to see his mom was pretty good…how it didn’t rate the top ten, I have no idea…..the beercan house….was totally unimpressive.
OK, I will give on the Doritos with the kid. After that…I am out!
Doritos with the little kid – I laughed
Farve ad – funny.
Rest – not funny, not memorable
I always end the super bowl ads the same way. Not remembering who the ads were for. If I were going to spend 2 mil on a single ad. I would make sure you remembered who I am.
