Super Bowl Ads

Who saw the super bowl ads yesterday? I don't think they lived up to my expectations, but I did pick a few winners.

My Favorite Five
1. Diet Pepsi Max Head Nodding
2. Fed Ex Carrier Pigeons
3. Doritos Mouse Trap
4. Tide Stain Does the Talking
5. Bridgestone Screaming Creatures

Bridgestone Super Bowl AdUSA Today's Ad Meter tracks the second by second response of viewers watching the ads and groups the information according to age, gender, and income. I think it's interesting to look at their research data.

The USA Today test group favorited the Budweiser dog and pony one which didn't even make it on my top 10 list. Hello, been there done that, couldn't they gone for something bigger?

Some of my running commentary:
The Bridgestone Richard Simmons one, you knew everyone was screaming, hit him, hit him. And the Toyota badger one--gross, brinking on inappropriate. Garmin GPS Napoleon navagating to Paris too hard to follow, although very funny once understood. The worst ad was by far the Career Builder follow your heart one. Ugh.

  1. ok...so i agree with the five on your list...i didn't get to see the badger or richard simmons one (thank god..) and i thought the "follow your heart" commercial was creepy, even for me...pretty disturbing. I kinda liked the horse and dog one for budweiser.
    I really liked the screaming creatures one (i laughed)and the fedex pigeons. I liked the dancing lizards one for lifewater drink.
    I like this commerical that aired on an earlier game..it has a German Shorthaird pointer. Please youtube it...type in budlight sausages in search
