Live Blogging Super Bowl Commercials--First Half

First Break After Kickoff
Beer commerical--The budget cutting commercial where they cant get rid of the beer for meetings. Ok, but overly formulaic.
Dan Brown movie "Angels and Demons"--Typical movie commercial. Kinda want to see the movie though.
Audi commerical--Interesting how they give nods to other European vehicles, and then show their vehicle as the evolution of all european cars

Second Break After Kickoff
Pepsi commercial--This was a fun commercial. I enjoyed the Wycliffe Jean/Bob Dylan mindmeld stuff. Not sure what they were saying about Pepsi except it is a multigenerational beverage
Doritoes--Crystal Ball--Loved this commercial with the snow globe crystal ball. I thought the broken vending machine was funny enough, but when the boss got a snowglobe thrown at his crotch--well that was funny right there.

Third Break After Kickoff
Bud Light--Conan doing the Swedish commercial. Lame, but very Conan.
Crackle.com--online movie with Jack Black. Is this an ad for a movie that is only online. I don't get it. This commercial worked. I had to look up the movie to know what it was about. An online movie service. Hmmmm. Worth the money for them, but not that fun to watch the commercial.
Toyota Venza-Boring commerical. Interesting how the foriegn cars are taking advantage of American car weakness during the Superbowl.

Fourth Break After Kickoff
Mr. Potatoe Head/Bridgestone--What man cannot relate to Mr. Potato Head's joy when her lips go falling down the hill. Funny stuff.
Fast and Furious Commercial--Looks like another good movie.
Grease Monkeys--Castrol Edge commerical. Quirky funny but predictable goofiness. Monkeys have been done before.

Fifth Break After Kickoff
Will Ferrell--Land of the Lost--Another decent movie. A little funny looking. A family movie perhaps?
Doritoes--girls clothes flying off. Money flying everywhere. Man dies. Very funny. Go to their website they say to watch them again. Again driving toward website.
Go Daddy. Com--Racy as usual. This time they refer people to their website for potential porn. Smart business stategy.

Sixth Commercial Break After Kickoff
Pepsi-Slapstick Comedy. I'm good. The Diet Cola for men. Good commercial
Dog Adoption drive--fun smart commercial. Loved it.
Budweiser--horse wanting a treat to.

Seventh Commercial Break After Kickoff
Budweiser--horses again? Horese runnning to get to his one true love.
Movie--New Star Track prequel. Very poorly done. Preview in the movie theater was better.

Eighth Commercial Break After Kickoff
G--Gatorade. Why is Gatorade marketing itself as G? Is it going to help me relate more to it? Is it trying to get credibility with the hip hop crowd? Seems silly.
Cars.com commercial--this wont be everyone's favorite. But...I thought it was really well done. Emphathizes with everyone's struggle on getting a good price on a car. Says that it is every man's concern. Hope they use it more and more.

Ninth Commercial Break After Kickoff
Hyundai Commercial is good. Has a sense of humor about its name. "Hyandai. Like Sunday." Again not an American car commercial.
Etrade--the friend is cute. Jenny loves the etrade babies.

Tenth Commerical Break After Kickoff
Disney/Pixar--Up. Looks interesting.
Bud Light--Drinkability. Ok commercial. But not great.

Eleventh Commercial Break After Kickoff
H and R Block--This is pretty funny. Death needing parking validation?
Teleflora Commerical--This is good. I loved this commercial. Very funny. And makes me afraid of sending flowers in a box.

Twelth Commercial Break After Kickoff
Cheetos--I love the Evil Cheetah. This quiet revenge stuff the evil cheetah leads people in, this passive-agressive tension, is brilliant.
