The Saints vs. Colts made for a great game. But today, we haven't heard a whole lot of Monday Morning Quarterback-ing. Let's face it - everyone's talking about the ads.
Now, there were some pretty disturbing ones, I must say. What was up with all those fat guys in underwear? Perhaps the ad execs at Careerbuilder should look for new jobs. Major ICK factor. At least the men in the Dockers "I don't wear pants" commercial were half dressed. But still kinda icky.
And the series of Denny ads promoting their Free Grand Slam with chickens freaking out was, well . . . freaking me out! I guess it could have been worse . . . they could have shown oversized chickens on chicken farms that were featured on Oprah a few weeks ago.
Speaking of Oprah, I enjoyed a heartfelt laugh when I saw the ad with David Letterman, Jay Leno, and Lady O herself. Very smart. Very funny.
My favorite ads shouldn't be any surprise to all of you. Here's my top 5:
5. David/Oprah/Jay. See above.
4. Google. This was so heartwarming and simple - to the point. Google shows how they are a large part of our lives, in every phase of our lives.
3. kgb - I Surrender. Funny, funny! Anytime you have a sumo wrestler and skinny white guys trying to speak Japanese - you have a recipe for laughter.
2. Snickers - Betty White. A smart way to say we "aren't ourselves when we're hungry." I loved it. It's great to see Betty still has her wits! Plus, my mom looks like Betty White - so go, mom!
1. E*Trade - Love Triangle. What can I say? E*Trade's series of ads with talking/investment trading babies is brilliant. And now a love triange? Too funny. Plus, their message is simple - makes me wonder why I'm not on E*Trade. May be I should sign up. . . . See it worked already!
What was your favorite TV ad during the Super Bowl?
