Ahhh Wtf man??? I liked the surprise effect!

[htownrox1]

Wait, never mind.

The Volkswagon force commercial was awesome!!!

[Cannonball]

Saw the VW one earlier, didn't realize it was a Super Bowl commercial.

[ItsMyFault]

Haha.. they added a Bud Light one. Hilarious.

Lol, yupp. That was where I literally busted out laughing. You could tell even with the mask on he was really excited.

Transformers 3 and Captain America teasers should be interesting.

Only one of those movies I'd even consider seeing is Pirates of the Caribbean. Cowboys & Aliens? LMAO! I'm going to go with the odds and say that is going to be a bust.

Cowboys and aliens is the only one that at least looked fun, the others looked terrible

especially Captain America, it just looks horrific

awesome beaver commercial...

The email and beaver commercials

Although the commercials weren't as great as previous years, they had some really funny ones. Darth Vader one was pretty cool.

The VW and Chrysler commercial with Eminem were good.

Cowboys and Aliens looks bad enough to be good (i.e. Snakes On A Plane). Super 8 looks great, can't wait.

Longest commercial ever... it was like a full trailer.

[Commodore]

I liked this one.

Hi, we ran our business into the ground, then used your tax dollars to pay multimillionaire Eminem to do a commercial for us.

Thanks,

Your friends at Chrysler.

Hulu has most if not all the ads up now on their website:

[Pete Chilcutt]

The Bridgestone Email was my favorite of the night

[Dr of Dunk]

The Bridgestone Email was my favorite of the night

That was a good one. The first Eminem (animated/claymation, whatever that's called) was a pretty good one. The 2nd Eminem commercial for the Chrysler 200 ("goodbye" Sebring) was "eh".

[JunkyardDwg]

Darth Vader Volvo commercial was probably my favorite. I also like the Pepsi Max commercials and the Snickers commercial with Roseanne get clobbered by the log. And the Bumblebee Chevy commercial...that was pretty awesome too.

Go Daddy probably the worst..they just need to stop. That act is already a few years stale.

I think the "golden age" of Super Bowl commercials has definitely passed at this point. With the advent of the digital age, with so many new marketing tools at a companies' fingertips, it just doesn't make sense anymore to spend millions on ad time, and millions more producing a 30 sec spot. Still will always be some good commercials, but not near the hype and pomp of yesteryear.

As for movie trailers...

Battle: LA ....oh hell yes. I'm loving what I'm seeing.
Cowboys vs Aliens... a big yes so far for it. It has me because it's different.
Super 8... this reminded me a bit of ET or Close Encounters. It has a classic Spielberg vibe. But it's JJ Abrams. I'm definitely digging it.
Rango... looks decent. May have to check it out.
Transformers... a definite yes so far. I like what I see. If they have a decent script and Bay tones down the juvenile humor, then it could be good. (I love T1)
POTC ...indifferent. I'll probably give it a chance, but I'm not expecting much. I don't think the Capt Jack Sparrow character can carry a film on his own. It's missing a Will and Elizabeth type-characters imo.
Thor ...looks mediocre at best. I'm skeptical that it'll translate well to the screen.
Capt America... could be badass...orr a total flop. I'm not sure what to think yet.

[Space Ghost]

The Worst: Etrade commercial. At least the Go Daddy had hot chicks.

The Best: The Doritos commercial where he brings the fish back to life. I like the Darth Vader one too as we all seem to wish we had The Force within us.

[conquistador#11]

I thought the 1984 spinoff was nicely executed, maybe I just love orwell so much that I clap my hands like peter griffin anytime I see a reference to that novel.
The motor city one with slim shady had a good message I thought. I like that he always goes to bat for detroit. Almost like he was from there or something. :p

The nice rack from that flowers website, something us romantics on here would say.

Also, again, maybe because I'm a house md fan, but both promos for house were excellent. "This is our House"

And finally, the last one I truly enjoyed and is not getting a lot of run.. is the NFL's sitcom tribute. From happy days to the Sopranos.

Forgot the Darth Vader Jr one. It was clever.

[DreamRoxCoogFan]

I loved the Truck/tommy one. "I didn't even know there was a volcano!"

[arkoe]

The one that probably got the biggest chuckle out of me was the Mean Joe Green Coke knockoff for House. Him knocking the kid out with his cane... probably more amusing to me then it ought to have been.

[Relentless]

The Bridgestone Email was my favorite of the night

I agree., I'm laughing just thinking about it

Nothing beats the beer commercial with the guy wearing tight jean with that weird laugh at the end. I think it was either miller or bud light beer commercial. It was freakin hilarious.

[Mr. Brightside]

I always love those Etrade baby commercials. Also the CareerBuilder.com with the chimps driving the cars was proper funny.

[mosessmalone]

This was the best commercial.

+1 , Clearly this was the best Commercial of the SB.

[DCkid]

Agreed, that commercial really makes you root for Detroit bouncing back.

[Master Baiter]

Detroit is a dirty butthole and I don't understand why everyone likes that commercial so much. One commercial does not negate all of the garbage that is Detroit. I absolutely hate having to go there.

COWBOYS AND ALIENS

Detroit gave us Motown, which makes it alright in my book.

I vote for the Kim Kardashian commercial...That damn girl is fine as hell....Loved it ...I must have rewinded it 10 times

[SwoLy-D]

I liked the one where Doritos brought back the dude's grandfather.

Was the Groupon ad in bad taste?

[VooDooPope]

The Doritos commercial where the guy licks the other guys finger was just nasty. Then the pants. Give me a break Doritos.

[Mr. Brightside]

Detroit gave us Motown, which makes it alright in my book.

Detroit gave us techno as well. A far more lasting legacy.

[Commodore]

That Detroit commercial is perpetuating a myth, using your tax dollars.

Detroit is a dump, a ruin that has been run in to the ground and its rotting corpse is being sustained by federal tax dollars. The crime is high, the schools suck, it's filthy. Pretty much the poster child for a poorly run city.

And there is no chance Eminem drives a Chrysler.

The Darth Vader-VW commercial was hilarious (I have a kid, so I find that kind of stuff funny).

The VW commercial with the beetle with the racing stripe was good too:

I'll always give Detroit props for this...but that commercial came off as overt pandering for sympathy. Eminem in it made me roll my eyes. I get it's a commercial, but I bought into it as much as a lame romcom movie.

[DonnyMost]

The Groupon folks are idiots:

The gist of the concept is this: When groups of people act together to do something, it’s usually to help a cause. With Groupon, people act together to help themselves by getting great deals. So what if we did a parody of a celebrity-narrated, PSA-style commercial that you think is about some noble cause (such as “Save the Whales”), but then it’s revealed to actually be a passionate call to action to help yourself (as in “Save the Money”)?

Since we grew out of a collective action and philanthropy site (ThePoint.com) and ended up selling coupons, we loved the idea of poking fun at ourselves by talking about discounts as a noble cause. So we bought the spots, hired mockumentary expert Christopher Guest to direct them, enlisted some celebrity faux-philanthropists, and plopped down three Groupon ads before, during, and after the biggest American football game in the world.

Who in the holy hell thought this was a good idea?

"lol tragedy/oppression" is not a marketing campaign... morons.

yes, everybody from Detroit is horrible and should die

Seriously...I don't think the commercial perpetuated any of the myths you mentioned. Unless I missed the part where they touted Detroit's aesthetics and it's high performance on standardized testing.

Granted the commercial did nothing to make me want to buy a Chrysler, but I can say that about every commercial I've ever seen.

This one cracked me up. I wasn't paying much attention until after he loads the giant sandwich in the back and I realized that it looked really dirty. We rewound it a few times and the split second after the sandwich it is obviously dirty. The 'Cram Cam' and the gameshow guy saying "Whoa!"

Caught me by surprise.

Anyone else see a problem with bailout recipient Chevrolet having 6 commercials during the game? Especially when they aren't exactly known for advertising during the Superbowl?

To all who enjoyed the Darth Vader commercial, I give you the outtakes. I wish they'd kept in the last one though.
