Understand: I know nothing about football. Nothing. Okay, one thing: Kathleen likes to watch the Superbowl.
So I read during the football and watch the commercials. What I’ll be doing is assessing the commercials as we go.
DIRECT TV: My God–I just watched my entire life flash before my eyes in sixty seconds. Am I that old? Did it really fly by that quickly? Lord, I’m depressed.
TOSTIDOS: That was cute. The whole bride thing.
BLOCKBUSTER: Boy, netflicks must be cutting into their business.
FORD: What a contest. Who’s more obnoxious: Bikers or owners of Ford trucks.
McDONALDS: Eh.
CHEESE: Can’at go wrong with cows.
HOUSE: I haven’t been consistent with watching it, but when I do, this is a terrific series, with an unrecognizable Hugh Laurie.
PSA: Sure. Join the team. Just don’t use steroids when you do.
6:36
FORD: Liked it better than the one for trucks. I bet there really are people insane enough to drive a convert in the snow.
6:42
BUD WEISER: trust the beer commercials. That was funny. Second favorfite to the muppets.
LENSWEAR: Don’t care.
CONSTANTINE: I hate to admit it, but I’m interested in it. Face it, we all know they should have cast Sting, but now that it’s done, I’m curious to see whether it works as a film in and of itself.
Enforced break. Got involved with feeding Caroline, followed by playtime, then jammies and then settling her down for bed. But I should be back for the rest of the commercials now.
Paul is playing the halftime show. Amazing. He still looks boyish. More “ish” than “boy,” but more boyish than I look and he’s got a few years on me.
8:33
American Airlines. Okay, not memorable.
Nissan Maxima. Okay, not great.
Chase. zzzzzzzzzzz
Cadillac. Eh. You know what I’d love to see? A Cadillac commercial in which they’re brainstorming and an ad guy says, “How about: Cadillac–the Cadillac of cars!” And they just stare at him. And the tagline is “Cadillac: No one ever says ‘The Toyota of’ anything…”
8:39
Getting real sick of the Ford convertible commercial.
8:58
Okay, the Ameriquest commercials are officially the funniest things so far. This one with the cat was even better.
Career Builder: Funny series that I’ll bet has a lot of folks thinking, “Wow, that’s just like MY work place.”
9:02
WOTW: You know, if even Spielberg thinks that aliens are coming to kill us, we can prety much pack in the last bastion of optimism.
Cialis: Up to 36 HOURS?! Who is this FOR? Men married to an entire cheerleader squad?
9:11
Honda: “It’s not just another truck.” Bad news: It’s another truck.
Verizon: Okay, I liked that a lot. The whole miniaturization thing. That was funny.
The Shield: I’d gotten out of watching it, but with Glenn Close joining the cast, I may very well take another whack at going with this series.
9:21
Miller: eh. Not the best.
Ford: Eh.
Toyota: This guy and his dog are starting to grow on me.
9:25
Toyota: Well, that’s certainly the best ad for a Hybrid I’ve ever seen.
9:31
Budweiser…zzzz
Mastercard: Okay, that was great. All the trademark guys getting together for dinner. Good thing they weren’t eating fish; wonder how Charlie would have reacted.
9:38
Budweiser: A good message and entertainingly told.
9:41
The collected superbowl: Ariel says if it has the commercials, I should buy it.
10:00
Sahara: Don’t know anything about it.
Diet Pepsi: What frightens me is that if P Diddy really DID show up in a Pepsi truck, exactly what’s depicted in the commercial would likely happen.
10:03
WOW! Okay, this isn’t about a commercial, but hëll, wow, what a touchdown.
