The Day After The Super Bowl-The Ads

What happened? All the money people spend on the ads and that was they best they could do last night?!?!?

I only had one bright spot that I could think of. That was the Snickers commercial with Betty White playing a pick-up game of football. She gets tackled and runs back to the huddle while a big lummox proclaims that shes playing like Betty White. To which she retorts, thats not what your girlfriend said last night. After having a Snickers bar, the player turns back into himself to continue the game. If that weren't enough, the next play involves Abe Vigoda as the quarterback, ABE *FREAKING* VIGODA!! I thought he was dead. Nice to see the old guy still kicking, long live Fish!

The beer commercials were once the highlight of the ad blitz. They got a D, bordering on F, from me. The house of beer cans was slightly humorous. They get no sentiment from me for the baby Klydesdale and baby cow advert. Etrade's talking baby has been done to death, enough already. Doritos has an honorable mention but thats not saying much in this field of third and fourth place finishers
