And where was Tim's addidas commercial?
Did they suck this year or was it just me?
The sky-diving one was pretty funny though
And where was Tim's addidas commercial?
yeah, they sucked just as much as the halftime show... the broadcasters are too afraid of the fcc now..
What about the Lebron James gum? I'm buying a pack pronto!
The fronzen dude in the Mustang was pretty good. So was the "see what you started!?" Budwiser one.
Overall pretty lame though.
Right now, Ducks is organizing a boycott of Bubbalicious.
They were lame
The best one was the HOT chick who was in front of the senate committee.
Well the *best* commercial was the one with the troops in the airport.
As for humor, the Budweiser one with all the animals (see what you started) was good, as were the monkey ones for careerbuilder.

The Super Bowl is the most-watched television event of each year. As many as 150 million people are expected to tune in at some point to today's NFL le game, pitting the reigning champion New England Patriots against the Philadelphia Eagles. Advertising time is selling for a record $2.4 million per 30-second spot.
This year's Super Bowl broadcast will include ads from Pizza Hut, Subway, Volvo, CareerBuilder, Pepsi, FedEx and Cialis, among others. One of Busch's ads features comedian Cedric the Entertainer talking about responsible drinking and designated drivers. Napster, the groundbreaking peer-to-peer file-sharing service shut down in 2001 for allowing users to trade digital music for free and reborn as a legal business in 2003, will have an ad.
There will be at least six commercials for upcoming movies, including Paramount's remake of "War of the Worlds." Unilever, makers of Degree antiperspirant, will spoof old G.I. Joe commercials by using action figures in its ad. And in the now-you-know-where-they-are category, a Frito-Lay commercial will feature baggy-panted '80s rap icon M.C. Hammer.
Last year’s Super Bowl left a lasting impression. So much so, the Federal Communications Commission ruled the half time show indecent and fined CBS. One part of the event that didn’t leave a lasting impression was the commercials.
But people are still watching. Some 145 million people are expected to tune in to watch Super Bowl XXXIX. A retail industry group says a quarter of them tune in to just watch the ads. Ads that cost companies as much as $2.4 million.
“It's going to be very tame. Probably tamer than is necessary. Probably, I would say, preposterously tame,” said Bob Garfield of Advertising Age.
Sunday’s lineup includes some veterans. Visa is back.
“Our format this year and our advertising is very all American,” Suzanne Lyons of Visa said.
One new comer is Web domain sales company godaddy.com
“We found that there were a lot of people that didn't know who we were, and we believe if they know who we are they'll do business with us,” godaddy.com Chairman and CEO Bob Parsons said.
The government proposed fining CBS-owned stations a total of $550,000 for last year's halftime show, but that was only the start. By the end of the year, the FCC had levied nearly $4 million in indecency fines for a variety of shows. Congress worked to raise fines even higher.
Choosing a British knight for the entertainment is only one of several ways this year's Super Bowl is striving to be more G-rated than last year's. Advertisers such as Anheuser-Busch Inc., criticized last year for ads some considered crude, have promised to throttle it back for today's game. Erectile-dysfunction drug Cialis will hold its commercial late in the third quarter, airing well after 9 p.m. And the NFL, embarrassed by last year's debacle, took back control of the game's entertainment, which it ceded to MTV last year. The league even scrutinized every lyric in Paul McCartney's song list.
Last year, the FCC — charged with policing the radio and television airwaves for violations of its decency rules — received 1.07 million complaints about 314 radio and television programs. It got more than 500,000 complaints about the halftime show of last year's Super Bowl.
To put this number in context, in 2003, the agency received 202,032 complaints about 375 programs.
In response, lawmakers in both houses of Congress have introduced bills that would raise the maximum indecency fine from $32,500, up to $500,000 in one version.

They were lame ...
IMO, the one with the cat and the spaghetti saucewas a standout in an otherwise lackluster day for commercials.
Both of those mortage company ones were pretyt hillarious
I forgot about the one with the spaghetti and the cat, that was #2 to the troop thank you.
Absolutely!
I didn't see that one ...
Oh, man...instant classic! They have it online too...go to http://www.ameriquestmortgage.com/re...site/index.htmI didn't see that one ...
After the popup stuff quits, it'll show 4 people...the cat commercial is the FIRST one.

He was trying to describe the cat commercial to me....but it's just not the same as seeing it. That was hilarious.
Especially since you can see that one happening, right?
