These are my Top 6 ads from Super Bowl XLIV:
6. CareerBuilder.com
I actually saw this commercial a few days ago, so I don't know if it should count as an "official" Super Bowl commercial. But it was too funny to leave off the list.
5. Monster.com
Anything that makes me think of Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas is aces in my book.
4. kgb
Sumo wrestler!
3. Doritos
No commercial made me laugh harder this one.
2. Audi
Audi's ad for their green car was a hilarious (and scary) look at environmentalists (how long do you this we are from this actually happening?). Bonus: they reworked a Cheap Trick song!
1. Snickers
"That's not what your girlfriend says." HA! As always, Betty White was hilarious. I just wish Abe Vigoda had more of a role in the commercial.
And for the 214th year in the row, the absolute worst commercial involved the stupid Budweiser Clydesdale horses. Have I mentioned how much I hate them? Oh yes. I have.
I would love to see Miller run a variation of the following ad. And if anyone from Miller is reading, you can take this idea FOR FREE.
INT. BARN - DAY
Young Cowboy is petting a sick Clydesdale horse. An older cowboy walks behind him to comfort him.
Sorry, Slim.
YOUNG COWBOY
(sadly)
But Bud's always been my favorite.
OLD COWBOY
I know. But sometimes you've got to do
what's right.
INT. COUNTRY HOUSE - DAY
A loud GUNSHOT rings out in the distance. Young Cowboy puts his head down on the kitchen table. Old Cowboy enters, opens the refrigerator, and pulls out a Miller High Life.
(hands beer to Young Cowboy)
Here, boy. Have a real beer.
