I love watching the Super Bowl. No, I’m not really a big football fan, but I just love the commercials! While the game is on, I tend to do things like wash the dishes, walk the dogs, or even type on my blog. But once the action stops and the commercials come on, I stop and pay strict attention!
You had to love Harrison Ford reading Dr. Suess type prose about winning and football. One must wonder if he’s been practicing on Calista Flockharts little boy, Liam.
The funny commercials so far have been The Fed-Ex ad with the two cavemen, and I also liked the Disney commercial with all the football players practicing their MVP answer to what they are going to do now that they have won the Super Bowl? “I’m going to Disney World!”
The Fabio add was hysterical.
Hugh Heffner’s ad for Desperate Housewives was also a hoot. One must wonder what Heff offers those gorgeous gals so that they hang all over him at his age? I know. The ability to print their naked pictures in his magazine. Gotta tell you, that wouldn’t do it for me!
I’m not too thrilled with the Pepsi ads or the godaddy.com adds either. They are just kind of creepy.
I keep waiting for the commercial to end all commercials, but so far they just haven’t done it for me. I mean, the Jessica Simpson ad for Pizza Hut with the young teen boy fainting in ecstasy at her mere closeness, was cute, but not one I would nominate for the Commercial Hall of Fame.
The Rolling Stones performed one of my least favorite songs, “Start Me Up” at halftime. Come on, these are the most uninspired lyrics of my generation! The only good thing was that it looks like Mick has finally found a good hair colorist. The gray is gone and it doesn’t look too fake. But Keith Richards? My Lord! The man looks positively like a walking corpse! They all look like they could use a good meal.
Sorry if you are an avid Stones Fan. They just don’t do it for me either.
My hearty congratulations to The Pittsburg Steeler’s and their fans! They played one heck of a game!
The best commercial I thought, was the one by dove on the campaign for real beauty! Did you see that one? If not, you should watch the recaps tomorrow because I am sure it will get a mention.
My favorite commercial was the Budweiser Clydsdale colt trying to pull the wagon with the help of his bigger brothers. I love horses dearly and this one brought tears to my eyes.
I am glad Shubi is doing better. I pray for you every day. I lost my precious Cocker Spaniel Maggie to cancer a few weeks ago. She was only eight and the pain is still so very incredible. Everywhere I look I see her and she used to be my buddy everywhere we went. Please give your darling dogs a kiss and a hug from Aunt Jane.
With a game between two teams from towns I have no connections to, the commercials are all I have to look forward to. They will send down a copy of the game in a few days for us to see.
It was a good game and I spent my time crocheting and watching both the game and the commercials. We liked the cave man one too. I don’t remember what the ones with the chimps were for but I love those little guys!
I didn’t watch the superbowl this year. Come to think of it, I don’t watch the superbowl ANY year.:)
I can’t believe you wrote that he looked like a walking corpse because those were my EXACT words while we were watching the haltime show. Eerie!
I also liked the commercials you mentioned, as well as the Dove one that Shelli mentioned above.
Your pooch is cracking me up with the sleeping style! Too cute!
