Okay, let’s Superbowl blog!

Here we go after the jump.

Beats Pill: Huh?

Kindle Fire: I have a Nook, so…

A Million Ways: Okay, I may check that out. And I only thought Ted was so-so.

Captain America: I know where I’M gonna be on April 4. That film is gonna rock.

Metlife: Am I the only person in the world who hates that the Peanuts characters promote Metlife?

Noah: “The Untold Story?” Pretty sure it’s been told a few times.

McDonalds: Okay, what the hëll was that about? A McDonalds commercial without any actual product? Uh, okay.

Fusion: Okay, that was funny, watching James Franco “become” Rob Riggle. Still not planning to buy a Fusion, but I’ll certainly go see Franco’s next movie.

Bud Light: Ookay…this sounds interesting.

Maserati: Not sure I get what that commercial was about. I mean, yeah, it’s a car commercial, and I liked the little narrator, but I’m still unclear on what they were saying.

Doritos: I love Doritos commercials and that’s no exception.

Chevrolet: That was kind of funny. Wasn’t sure about it for a while since I wasn’t seeing the romantic attraction of a bull.

Need for Speed: I thought it was another “Fast and Furious” movie.

TurboTax: I won’t be using it, but thanks to the narrator’s voice, now I want to see “Wreck It Ralph.”

Bud Light: I don’t drink beer, but that almost makes me want to start.

Beats Music: I’m not tempted to take advantage of Beats music, but I’ll watch an episode of “Ellen.”

US: Well, Kath is immediately logging onto iTunes for the free song. Let’s see if it crashes the app.

Cheerios: Ah yes. This is the interracial family that has some conservatives bìŧçhìņg.

Radio Shack: Okay, THAT was great. It really was the 80s. I may actually check out Radio Shack where I haven’t been in years.

Chevrolet: That was most depressing car commercial I’ve ever seen.

Accord Sport: Eh.

T-Mobile: That was funny.

Transformers: Dragons? Really? That sounds interesting. I wonder why I’m not doing a novelization.

Volkswagon: Okay, I wanna be a German engineer.

Pistachios: Sorry, Stephen. Love you but don’t like pistachios.

Spider-Man: It’s a Marvel movie year this year.

Carmax: Love the clapping bear.

M&Ms: That was funny. Hey, did you know that JK Simmons, J. Jonah Jameson himself, is the voice of the Yellow M&M?

Coke: Boy, we’re getting a lot of commercials with patriotic songs in them. Can’t say I’m too thrilled about that.

Highlander: That’s it. I want a Highlander.

Bud Light: They’re trying to make Bud a craft beer, which it’s not.

Cherokee: I still want a Highlander.

Seinfeld: I’m definitely going to put on Comedians in Cars Drinking Coffee. Not right now.

Go Pro: THAT was cool. I’ve no clear idea what Go Pro is, but it was cool.

Mazda: Why have all the car commercials except VW and Highlander been so freaking boring?

Scientology: SERIOUSLY?

Audi 3: Finally, another funny car commercial.

T-Mobile: I’m starting to wish someone would give Tebow a contract.

Ax Peace: So body spray all lead to world peace. I can get behind that.

Chobani: Cute commercial with Mandy Patinkin narrating it. I had no idea people of that level needed to do a national commercial.

Kia: Boy, if you’ve never seen “The Matrix,” that commercial made NO sense.

Heinz: Cute.

Honda: And now Bruce Willis? Christ, how much are they paying these guys?

Budweiser: That was nice.

This isn’t commercial related, but Jesus Christ–can the Broncos just refuse to come out for the 4th quarter?

Detroit: Really? A whole commercial to tell us what a great city Detroit, which has fallen completely apart, is because it makes cars? Good luck.

Time Warner cable: I love the True Blood appearance. We can’t get TW cable, but the commercial was fun.

Coke: Adrian goes long. Very very long.

Alantra: Was that Leonard from Big Bang?

Jaguar: I saw that commercial on line. I still love it. Brits do make the best villains.

T-Mobile: Next time we do an ad with overpaid moviestars. I like it.

Sodastream: The edited version where they don’t mention Coke or Pepsi.

Budweiser: An unsettling love story between a puppy and a horse.

Go Daddy: WTF?

Doritos: Best use of the Lone Ranger theme since the original TV show, and that counts the movie.

So overall the Highlander commercials remain my favorite of the evening. Anyone want to buy me one?

  1. That Maserati was one of those where halfway through you wonder what they are selling. In this case I can’t see how it applies to the product.

    1. I thought for a minute we were actually going to see a Tesla ad, until the engine roar started.

      1. I think the biggest deal about the Maserati commercial was that it was a Maserati commercial. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Maserati commercial before, and I used to watch the Speed Channel a fair amount before Fox decided we needed a 548th stick-and-ball-sports channel and turned it into Fox Sports 1.

  2. Radio Shack: Okay, THAT was great. It really was the 80s. I may actually check out Radio Shack where I haven’t been in years.

    That was a good commercial. The problem is that I have no reason to go into a Radio Shack and neither does anybody else.

    They’re a company that tries to reinvent itself every few years, and the response from the public is “Wait, they’re still around?”

    1. I know this movie will have Dinobots, and I still thought that looked like a dragon, not a dinosaur.

      Which means somebody (not PAD or I) is doing it wrong.

  3. “A McDonalds commercial without any actual product?”

    A McDonalds restaurant with any products would be a nice clean place with slides and a room full of plastic balls. Best place ever.

    “Cheerios: Ah yes. This is the interracial family that has some conservatives bìŧçhìņg.”

    Or at least Spike Lee.

  4. So far this game is looking like the one they had when I lived in Denver, many years ago. The lost to San francisco 55 to 10. For years afterward vandals would deface the speed limit signs so they would say SPEED LIMIT 55, BRONCOS 10.

  5. GoPro is a line of wearable digital video cameras. I had a temp job on the ordering line for REI last year, and the GoPros were very popular.

    I gather the Scientology ad was local; we got one for Xfinity, the rebranding of Comcast Cable, featuring Spock and Chekov from the newer Trek movies beaming into Xfinity’s “Innovation Center”, then beaming out with all their equipment.

    1. Odd. Bay Area got two Scientology’s (one pre-game) and the Xfinity Trek commercials.

  6. I was just disappointed that there was no Victoria’s Secret commercial (and so close to Valentine’s Day, too).

    The score of the game amazed me. It felt like every time I changed the channel and came back, the Seahawks were scoring again. After a few times I wondered if they were just rerunning previous Seattle touchdowns.

    The best football thing I saw was this — before the game — of Bad Lip Reading of the NFL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRqKYXcL-2U Hah!

    Well, there can be only one…

  9. “Coke: Boy, we’re getting a lot of commercials with patriotic songs in them. Can’t say I’m too thrilled about that.”

    WTF! Seriously?

    1. No I get that,I’m guessing PAD’s seeing as overdosing a little on patriotism which can lead too too much Us vs Them. I just found it amusing because PAD’s concern about the commercial was the exact opposite response to other negative stuff shouted out about the ad.
