Favorite Super Bowl Commercials

1. Verizon - chimpanzees talking on bananas chattering "Can you hear me now?" and shaking their heads "yes".  An oldie but a goodie. 

2. Careerbuilder.com - monkeying around.  Monkeys are funny an any commercial.  The monkeys wearing shirts and ties were a scream.  Each of the three commecials had a star:  the first commercial showed one monkey sitting on the copier copying his butt, the second commercial has one of the monkeys putting whoopee cushions in everyones chairs at the table during a meeting, and the third was the one that we could all relate to - the boss monkey was bending over while another monkey was kissing his ass.  These get my vote as my favorite new Super Bowl commercials.

3. MBNA - Gladys Knight playing rugby.  She gets the ball, scores and sings wearing a red beaded gown.  This just struck me as hilarious, I guess because she's probably the most unlikely person to be in a rugby game.  I laughed for 5 minutes over this. 

4. Budweiser - the animals want in.  An elephant, giraffe, goats, and other animals are waiting outside of the Clydesdale stables. Since they let the donkey be a part of the team, they want in, too.  The closing shot is a pig running down the road with white furry things on this legs, resembling the white hair on the Clydesdales legs.  Once again, almost any commercial with animals in it will be funny, especially if the animals talk. 

5. Lays potato chips - Hammer time.  After some kids lose their baseball over the neighbors fence, they throw a bag of Lays over. The neighbor starts throwing things back like the ball, Scruffy the lost dog, and their dad's old '72 Impala. Then they throw MC Hammer, complete with his big pants, over the fence. The kids threw Hammer back as he says "Hey! You can't touch this." Good job, kids

6. Bud Light - Cedric the designated driver. Cedric is in a crowded dance club and someone yells across the room at him and asks if he wants a Bud Light.  Of course the guy can't hear him.  Cedric says no and mouths "I'm the designated driver" as he is acts like his hands are on the steering wheel.  The dancers see this and they all start making the driving motion, too.  Not one of the better Bud Light Cedric commericials, but I thought it was the funniest Bud Light commercial of the game.

7. Diet Pepsi - Staying Alive. Any commercial that plays disco music gets my vote.  The hottie guy is drinking a Diet Pepsi as he's strutting down the street a la John Travolta while the Bee Gees are singing "Staying Alive."  His admirers include Cindy Crawford and Carson from "Queer Eye For The Straight Guy."  I had to explain to my parents who Carson was, and for the record, Cindy Crawford is 39 years old. 

8. McDonalds - Famous french fry. This was a satire mocking the infamous Virgin Mary grilled cheese sandwich hoopla a few months ago.  A guy gets a french fry that looks like Abraham Lincoln. He puts it on Ebay and sells it to a Japanese businessman. The guy also has a chicken tender that looks like Benjamin Franklin, but his pregnant wife grabs it out of his hand and eats it. So go to McDonald's and you might get some food that looks like a dead famous person.

9. Ameriquest - Costly mistake.  A guy is in a convenience store talking to someone on his cell phone with the hands-free ear piece and microphone.  He tells them they're getting robbed on their mortage. The clerks think they're getting robbed and spray him with pepper spray, hit him with a baseball bat, and use a taser on him. 

10. Verizon - V Cast.  Now you can get broadband video on your cellphone.  They showed a tiny Kid Rock getting out of a limo as a full-size Pamela Anderson look-alike is waiting for him on the red carpet. The funniest was a tiny Deion Sanders holding up a huge diamond and gold necklace to his posse saying "Is this bling too big?" 

Most annoying Super Bowl Commercials
Cialis - Just your basic erectile-dysfunction commercial. Nothing out of the ordinary. But one question comes to our mind. We get Paul McCartney for the halftime show in order to avoid another Nipplegate, but Cialis is still allowed to warn about the dangers of four-hour erections?''

Pepsi - Music under the cap.  Every time someone opened a bottle of Pepsi a loud annoying song would play. Over and over and over.  Pepsi could do much better for a Super Bowl commercial.
