Well, as you likely know, unless you have been living under a rock (on the moon), there was this little football game last night. A few people watched it.
Now, for most casual viewers, the team that wins the game doesn't matter (Yeah Packers!). No, for the casual viewer, Super Bowl Sunday is all about the Super Bowl Party and the commercials. With everyone watching, all the companies want to put their best foot forward. So, who won the commercial wars this year?
Well, it was a pretty weak batch this year, but a few stood out. Here's my top 5.
Audi: "Release the Hounds"
The tapping glasses as the prisoners escape killed me. There are really some fantastic gags in this one.
Doritos: The Best Part
I've read online some people saying that this commercial is just gross and weird. Those people have no sense of humor. Seriously, this was the biggest laugh of the night for me by far. Doritos also had the great "House Sitting" commercial, where the Doritos could bring things back to life.
Teleflora: Faith Hill
It's the "My heart told me to" at the end that really elevates this one to another level.
House: Mean Joe Green Spoof
Oh, Hugh Laurie, how I love you.
Groupon: Tibet
This is another commercial I've seen people say is insensitive and in bad taste. Those people are missing the point. It's a hilarious misdirection, and it isn't making fun of the people of Tibet or anything like that. It's making fun of the dime-a-dozen ads featuring celebrities touting their cause of the month. Bottom line, it's hilarious, and that's what matters to me.
Those were my 5 favorite, and there weren't really that many others that I enjoyed. Anyone else have a favorite I didn't list?
