Since we just had the Superbowl I felt that it was necessary to mention commercials. First of all, I didn't see any commercials inparticular that were amazing. I mean some of them were good, but not worth 3 million dollars. Yes I said it... 3 million dollars for a 30 second commercial spot during the Super Bowl. Crazy. That doesn't include paying the advertisers to come up with the ideas, or doesn't include the paying the actual production of the commercials.
My favorite commercial was the Coke ad with the animated bugs. It didn't get voted as the best 5 commercials, but I thought it was creative, cute, and entertaining. Plus I love lady bugs! The critics mentioned the Budweiser horse commercials as two of the best ones, as well as two of the Doritos commercials. The Doritos commercials were good, especially the one with the crystal ball being thrown at the vending machine. Hahaha, that was so funny. But the Budweiser commercial weren't up to par (by my standards). I mean come on... for 3 million dollars I would think people could come up with something just a little better... What did you think?!
Moving on to a new idea about commercials... besides the Super Bowl, who even watches commercials anymore? Everyone I know DVRs/Tivos all the shows they actually want to watch. Then have the channel changer by their side the whole time to fast forward through the commercials. Do you watch commercials?!

It is sad but true. I am in Advertising, and I rarely watch commercials. The one commercial that you didn't mention (I don't think you got to see it) was the 1 second commercial for Miller High Life. It was literally 1 second, so it went by fast and all it said was "High Life," but the actor is hilarious and looks and even sounds goofy. It was the most memorable commercial to me because it was new and different, but you did have to be paying attention or you'd miss it!
