Missed the first several commercials (OK, I didn't miss so much as I hadn't thought to document my thoughts on the them til now). But, here are my thoughts on the commercials as I'm watching them.
Hey, I have a blog, I have a divine right to post whatever drivel I want :)
Burger King - ~6:30
Sweet mother of pearl! These things keep getting freakier every time they produce another one. I'm not going to BK any time soon...
Sierra Mist - ~6:40
Sheesh. Looks like no Sierra Mist, either.
Bud Light - ~6:40 (The Magic Fridge)
I had thought I had seen this commercial before, then came the "Magic Fridge" bit, which was quite amusing.
Toyota - ~6:45
Blah. Not insipid, just not terribly inspiring.
FedEx - ~6:45
Funny! First one I laughed out loud.
Bud Light - ~6:45 (Hikers and the Bear)
Eh, not as good as the Magic Fridge.
V for Vendetta - ~6:50
Natalie Portman looks odd without hair.
Diet Pepsi - 6:50 (Diddy)
I am so not the target demographic...
Aleve - ~7:00
Leonard Nimoy. My, how you've fallen...
Ameriquest - ~7:00
THAT was funny! Yeah, you could see that coming a mile away, but I still laughed out loud.
Bud Light - ~7:00 (Cleaning the Gutters)
Eh. Nothing more to say than that, I suppose...
Diet Pepsi - ~7:05 (Jackie Chan)
First one for the night that I've seen before.
Cars - ~7:05
Trying not to get my hopes up. Very much looking forward to it...
SBC - ~7:05
Another one I've seen before. Shameful.
Budweiser - ~7:10 (Streaker)
Crappy beer, funny commercials. What's the deal?
Mobile ESPN - ~7:10
Not my cup of chicken broth.
careerbuilder.com - ~7:15 (Declining Profits)
Yeah, their service didn't do much for me when I was looking for a job, either. Dunno why I'd expect more from their commercials.
Cadillac Escalade - ~7:15
Nope. Didn't do it for me
M:I:3 - ~7:20
Yeah, I'll probably see it. I'm a sucker for explosions.
Dove Self Esteem Fund (www.campaignforrealbeauty.com) - ~7:20
I'll have to defer to my wife for commentary on this one. I'm not exactly the target of that ad.
Disney's The Shaggy Dog - ~7:25
Kill me now.
Ford Escape Hybrid - ~7:25
I'm a sucker for Kermit. What's not to like? Oh, yeah. The vehicle.
Michelob Ultra Amber - ~7:25
My favorite of the beer commercials so far.
GoDaddy.com - ~7:35
Why? Really, just plain why?
Poseidon - ~7:40
Dunno. It didn't convince me that I absolutely have to see it.
Gillette Fusion - ~7:40
Why waste this much money on a commercial you've already shown? And anyway, does anyone really need five blades on their razor?
Overstock.com - ~7:40
Again, I'm not exactly the target market here.
Disneyworld - ~7:45
What? They've been showing this one for a year or two...
Sprint - ~7:55
That's just plain bad.
Nationwide - ~7:55 (Proposal)
I've enjoyed the "Life Comes At You Fast" series. Not as good as some of the other ones, but pretty good, nonetheless.
Disneyworld - ~8:25 (Players Practice Their Lines)
I missed this one earlier. It's better than the other Disneyworld one. Not saying much...
Ameriquest - ~8:30 (Turbulence)
Another funny one from Ameriquest. Unfortunately, it also doesn't have anything to do with their product(s).
Motorola Pebl - ~8:30
No. Just no.
Sharpie - ~8:30
Nothing special.
Budweiser - ~8:40 (Colt and the Wagon)
Amy says it has cuteness factor.
Nationwide - ~8:40 (Fabio Shampoo)
I think I'd seen that one before, I but I love the series. Again, nothing to do with products or services, but funny nonetheless.
NFL Mobile - ~8:40
Kind a witty. Kinda...
Hummer - ~8:50 (Love Is Strange)
Different, kinda clever. Nothing to do with Hummers, though.
PS - ~8:40
Hmmm.... no.
careerbuilder.com - 8:55 (Monkeys and Jackasses)
Not at all good.
Taco Bell - ~8:55
Does anyone know if those things are any good? The commercial sure isn't.
Slimfast Optima - ~8:55
I'll stick with my current plan, thank you...
Gillette Fusion - ~9:00
Repeat. Boring...
The World's Fastest Indian - ~9:00
You know, I like Anthony Hopkins. Might be worth watching, just because of him.
Toyota Tacoma - ~9:00
You can't be serious...
Sprint - ~9:15
Another very dumb commercial from Sprint.
Arbys - ~9:15 (Fishnet Stockings)
Not exactly what I would have been thinking if Amy was wearing fishnets :)
Ford Trucks - ~9:15
Well, if I wanted a Ford truck, I would at least know what one looks like.
Hometown Buffet -
They just wasted $2.5 million on an old commercial. Too bad...
Degree Deodorant - ~9:20
Not really terribly interesting, though I know what the product is. I guess that's something..
Emerald Nuts - ~9:20
What the hell was that?!
Fidelity Investments - ~9:20
Another older commercial for $2.5 million.
Budweiser - ~9:30 (Stadium Pours a Beer)
Interesting commercial. Crappy beer.
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest - ~9:30
Yeah, I'll see this one, too.
MasterCard - ~9:30
Go MacGuyver! Glad you lost he mullet. SG1 has been good for you :)
Mobile ESPN - ~9:35
Shorter version of the earlier ad.
Honda Ridgeline - ~9:35
Didn't do anything for me.
The Beer Institute (herestobeer.com)- ~9:35 (Cheers in Many Languages)
OK. People like drinking beer, and are very polite about it. Not usually here in the States, but I can get behind that.
World Baseball Classic - ~9:40
Yeah, I'll probably catch it if I can.
GoDaddy.com - ~9:40
Repeat...
Nationwide - ~9:40 (Swing)
Another in the "Life Comes At You Fast" series. Not my favorite.
Running Scared - ~9:55
I think I'll pass.
Outback - ~9:55
Eh. Not really...
Westin Hotels - ~9:55
Nothing special here.
All in all, not a lot to write home about with respect to the commercials. Oh, well.
Oh, and congrats to all the Steelers fans that your team won that game thingy.
