View Full Version : Ja! Ja! Superbowl commercials!
All right.
Liked the Thor thing, could be good, fine; Super8, ok, worth a look, yes, guards at the border, great, liked it, very touching in its way: but WTF was with the Timothy Hutton thing with Tibet? "...and they make a very nice fish curry!" Comedic in a dark way, but also kind of a "Tibet? What do I think about Tibet? Well, nothing, because I like fish curry, and because fuck Tibet." Tiny bit bastardly.
Did like the beer commercial, now I'm off to drink one, but not Stella Artois, because that's for giant sissies in underground bars.
Oh, and kill Simon Cowell.
MacGyver1968 02-06-11, 08:02 PM "Cram it in the boot"??!? WTF? Did they just make a butt sex joke?
That's a Scottish porn reference no less.
Liked the Thor thing
Thor's cool. (My ancestors probably worshipped him!) I gather that there's a Thor movie coming out this summer.
Super8, ok, worth a look, yes, guards at the border, great, liked it, very touching in its way
I liked it too.

More than "tiny bit". I thought that it was seriously bastardly. But when we have the Chinese manufacturing all of our products and buying all of the debt we rack up to purchase them, they get to call the shots, I guess. The Tibetans are expendable and we are probably going to be getting more of those little instructional messages in our advertising informing us of that fact.

I kind of liked that Volkswagen ad with the beetle running along madly with racing stripes on its back. Apparently VW's bringing some kind of new version of the Bug back!
The chimpanzee drivers in ties and burberry raincoats were funny.
But maybe my favorite was that love poem to Detroit by Eminem and Chrysler. There was a seriousness to it was kind of touching and memorable.

And the other ads were equally unentertaining.
cosmictraveler 02-07-11, 09:35 AM From the ones I saw, I really didn't watch the entire show, I didn't see anything that was that great for the money spent on them. :zzz:

I agree...usually there's one or two standouts that are LOL funny...or something. Nothing really stood out this year.
Fraggle Rocker 02-07-11, 09:53 AM I'm not a sports fan so I didn't see it. However, I'm sure there will soon be a website showing all the commercials--uninterrupted by football. ;)
MacGyver1968 02-07-11, 10:04 AM I'm not sure if you would find it interesting, but you should check out the video of Christina Aguilera botching the lyrics of the National Anthem.

Syzygys 02-07-11, 10:12 AM I kept switching to another channel with AFV on it, but I liked the beaver saving the driver's life. That was cute....
Everybody said the game sucked, but I thought those three first GB TD's were textbook, worthy of replay.
The fat lady sang when she got it in the chops with a four foot diameter log. Nice.

Seconded.
Sorry, football fans. :shrug:
