2010 Super Ads!
« on: February 08, 2010, 12:06:00 am »
What a great Super Bowl! The right team won, we all had fun, and how about The Who! But the real highlight was the commercials, and now it's time to vote for your favorite! I've got eight worthy candidates here:

Boost Mobile Shuffle
Bud Light House
Budweiser Human Bridge
Brett Favre 2020 MVP
Bud Light Robotic Party
Megan Fox Motorola Pics
Google For Love
Punxsatawney Polamalu

Vote for your favorite! My choice is Google For Love, an evocative, very well-done commercial, and the best I've seen in years!

Elite pop culture expert Goose ranks the Super Ads!


8. Boost Mobile Shuffle

This is hands-down the worst television ad I have ever seen in my entire life.  If it's trying to parody something, it must be an inside joke since it's not relevant to 98% of people watching the game.  On top of this, the humor isn't funny at all.  A man wearing a thong has to be the least funny thing in the entire world and anyone who laughs at the concept has a sense of humor similar to something as devious as AIDS or whaling.  In fact, it should be illegal for people who have this sort of sense of humor to leave their houses or try to integrate themselves into society, since it simply will not work.  I don't even know what Boost Mobile is and as a result of this commercial I never want to know.

Rating: 00/100


7. Punxsatawney Polamalu

This one is hands down the second words television ad I have ever seen in my entire life.  I mean, who finds this funny?  Troy Polamalu's hair is the most overused prop in the corporate world since cell phones became mainstream.  Never have I wanted to pick up my television and throw it off a bridge more than I have when this commercial came on.  It pretty much did 0 to increase interest in the product it was selling as well.  The people who make this type of advertising are probably guys who spend company money frivolously while hiring prostitutes and snorting cocaine in their office all day, and when their boss asks for the final product they give them this shitty idea from the top of their head just to make it seem like they did some work.  Unfortunately the reason America is in such a disastrous economic state right now is because corporations are too retarded to see that shit like this isn't remotely interesting or funny.

Rating: 01/100


6. Bud Light Robotic Party

If you are going to feature a celebrity, at least put them in the commercial for more than 3 seconds.  While the culture reference is current, most dumbasses still won't get it.  It did convey that Bud Lite makes parties a good time though, so it wasn't a total disaster.

Rating: 10/100


5. Budweiser Human Bridge

See the "The people who make this type of advertising are probably guys who spend company money frivolously while hiring prostitutes and snorting cocaine in their office all day, and when their boss asks for the final product they give them this shitty idea from the top of their head just to make it seem like they did some work" comment from previously in this post.  This wasn't cool, funny or interesting at all.  Especially for a 1 minute ad you would think people would actually try to put in something remotely watchable.  Budweiser is iconic and so is the red truck.  I guess looking at the truck makes up for this otherwise shit-orgy.

Rating: 12/100


4. Brett Favre 2020 MVP

An extremely good ad in concept, but with absolutely no marketing value.  Will anyone remember that this was an ad for Hyundai?  No.  Will anyone go out and buy a Hyundai because of this ad?  No.  They took a hilarious concept and completely wasted $3million on it.  Keep buying foreign you fucking commies.

Rating: 14/100


3. Google For Love

Very good, but it moves too fast for the people who it is targeting.  Everyone who uses google knows it can do this, and the people who don't, aren't able to understand what is going on.  It's sort of like explaining basic math to a group of dogs and rocket scientists.  It's just pointless.  This would have been better as a short film or perhaps if they put in a hot French sweetie being drilled.

Rating: 25/100


2. Bud Light House

Finally a good ad.  The execution wasn't perfect (the guy should have played it up when the girl called him environmentally friendly so he could later copulate with her) but it was funny and as a stark rarity in this year's advertisements, the product it was actually advertising was obvious.  Isn't that the whole point of advertising anyways?  I don't see a point to making an ad when nobody will remember what product it was for but apparently I'm left out on the dark in this one.  Anyways, a pretty average ad but one of the finest this year.

Rating: 60/100


1. Megan Fox Motorola Pics

Hilarious, sexy and they fit the product in very well.  Regardless on your personal opinion of Megan Fox, she is well known and generally considered one of the most attractive women in today's popular culture.  She was a perfect fit for this ad and delivered a great punch line in the commercial.  This is one you watch all the way through and remember what product it was for.  Well done.

Rating: 82/100


Congratulations to Motorola for having the best Super Bowl commercial of 2010!

Google For Love.

The Doritos one just posted is the only other good one.

I lol'd hard at the Favre 2020 MVP, but that boost mobile commercial was incredibly underrated. My uncle and dad were in tears laughing because they got all of the inside jokes as did I, it was well done!

A small highlights reel of a couple of commercials were shown on tv in Melbourne, but the telecast really just focussed on the game itself.
My vote goes to: Doritos.
Also liked Google, Bud Light House and Budweiser human bridge, in that order.

Doritos was good, Google was just a great commercial in general, in all I was disappointed though.  Good game, though

Jon has a history of picking the least funny ads for "Super Ad."

All these ads are like really bad. The only one that is worth giving a mention is the motorola one. It has fucking Megan Fox, and well, it's not like really funny but it's simple and objective, that's what an ad is about (but it's not even super great, it's just not so bad like the others). The google one is like so god damn predictable.. it's "cute" and all, but really, it's like the first thing that comes to mind if you think about how a google ad should be. And like Ryan said, some ppl might not even understand what's going on with all the typing. I was expecting more from google.

The rest is just crap. I was hoping to have some laughs or any kind of amazement, but blah. At least there was Megan Fox in a bathtub.

Boost Mobile Shuffle was my favorite by far  for incredibly obvious reasons--yes goose it's a parody of the Super Bowl Shuffle from 85.

Yeah the ads all sucked as usual.  The good old days of awesome ads will never happen (because nobody remembered what the heck they were selling)

The greatest thing about the Super Bowl this year was that it basically reminded me of Doritos.  I almost never buy junk food these days, but I bought a bag yesterday.  Mmm.  Advertising 1 - Me 1.  (Everybody wins)!

Although I think after I get reminded again after next year's SB, I will get the Cooler Ranch rather than the Nacho Cheesier.
