Watercooler Chat: The Commercials

In case you missed any of the Super Bowl commercials (and you really didn’t miss much), you can now
check them all out on youtube. I just saw some of them again and yup, again wasn’t all that impressed. With that said, there were a handful that I liked. I really liked the Reebok Perfectville spot (the NY Giants deliver a gift of another perfect season to the members of the 1972 Miami Dolphins). A fun part of that video (if you followed the 1972 Dolphins) was Garo Yepremian (the Dolphins Kicker) asking if he could be QB. If you remember, Yepremian attempted a 42 yard field goal in the Super Bowl at the end of the 1972 season that was blocked. When the ball bounced back into his arms, he tried to salvage the play by attempting his first forward pass. Well, it didn’t go well and the opposing team (the Redskins) scored. Miami, of course, held on for the win, but Garo’s attempted pass has gone down in history.

Other commercials I liked:

Budweiser-The Dog training the Bud Horse to be part of the Clydesdale team (really anything with “Rocky” music gets me teary eyed)

Pepsi “what is Love” commercial.…particularly liked the scene where the Kid is swinging at the playground and swings back to hit his Dad who has fallen asleep (just kind of rang true)

Bud Light-Will Farrell (I just laugh looking at him, but couldn’t remember it was a commercial for Bud Light…can’t wait to see his new movie Semi-Pro though)

Commercials I really disliked:

Planters Peanuts-the unibrow was just too weird

Doritos-I didn’t like it, but my Kids laughed hysterically when the Giant Mouse popped out

Toyota- Just didn’t get it


Career Builder-Heart pulled out really, really freaked me out
