I did not watch the Super Bowl yesterday. I have not watched it in many years. Boys gone, no more sports on TV.
I mean, why waste time watching on Sunday, when you can watch all the commercials, football-free, on Monday. As a matter of fact, this year I actually saw some before the game was even on.
So, while I have not seen all of them yet, I must give a nod to a few. First, the football fans. The NFL did a nice job with this one, although I am sure some young people will not know all the characters.
Then there is Eminem and Chrysler. Whoever came up with that ad deserves a bonus. Update: 2/8/11 I am told the ad cost $9 million, so forget the bonus. I'll just clap. And despite all the controversy it caused, I think it beats the talking babies and animal tricks. But then, I am not your average Joe watching TV.
And for those of us who are die-hard 'Star Wars' fans, a little chuckle with the VW ad.
Most times I tune out the ads on TV. Some are downright irritating, especially the insurance commercials of late (with the exception of that Australian lizard). Super Bowl ads are in a separate category. Nice job.
