Title: Super Bowl Commercials
Post by: pimathbrainiac on February 03, 2013, 07:21:27 pm
This is the ONLY reason why most Americans watch the Super Bowl, right, guys?  ;D

Well, if you watched the Super Bowl, I'd like to know what your favorite commercial(s) was/were!

Sooooo... LIST 'EM!

I watch it because of the cultural obligation to. If I don't I'll have no idea what people are talking about tomorrow.

So far I haven't really seen any I like.

I don't watch it... I just don't get why people like it so much. But I'll have to find the funniest commercials on YouTube tomorrow

That, too, I guess.

Also, I think that they need to make better commercials for Doritos like the one with the dog from last year.

The only dorito commercial I've seen so far has been really creepy. It has grown men dressing up in dresses and horrible makeup while stuffing their faces

In Canada, broadcasters have the obligation to replace the original ads with Canadian ones. But the good thing, they're all on Internet anyway.

Pistachio Psy made my day tho.

Everyone else in the house is downstairs watching, and I'm up in my room avoiding social interaction :P

Needless to say, I haven't watched any of the commercials.

Well, what we can all take away from this is that commercials this year are weird.

I watched the first half, and I learned that these commercials are terrible.
NASCAR commercials are sweet and funny. These ones are rude and aggressive.
The oreo one was rude, the dorito one was rude, some of the car ones were rude
Also, I hate godaddy commercials (maybe just because I watch tv with my family) The first time I saw one I thought it was for an adult dating service or online porn

Anyway, then they had some lady grunting and stripping in the halftime show

It depends. In Quebec City, since some channels have no antenna/station/whatever there, and just a retransmitter, they are not obligated to show Canadian commercials.

I never realized how bad of a singer Beyonce really was until yesterday. I've never actually seen her perform before.

I never got hooked to that music ever since she got popular, but I could say the same with almost every electronic/pop/rap artists since 2007 or so.

The Super Bowl was crazy.  The game was intense.  I thought that the 49ers had it in the end but Kaepernick choked.  Eh there's always next season.

The commercials were alright.  I remember one from about 6 years ago.  <a href="
">Taco bell Carne Asada commercial</a>.  I still think it's funny.

The funny thing was the power outage and the comeback that ensued afterward. The power going out kinda reminded me a Boston Bruins stanley cup final game in 1988:



Game was finally cancelled and postponed at the end of the series only if necessary. I can't imagine how things would be if a Super Bowl had to be postponed/suspended O.O

I didn't really see much of it as I was either not at home or sleeping. I did get a chance to catch the doritos commercial with all the guys dressing up. That one had me laughing. I also thought the Volkswagen one was pretty cute. :)

To be honest I don't follow the Super Bowl as much unless the Packers or Patriots are playing :P

The funny thing, though, is that Super Bowl gets more attention here than the hockey Stanley Cup finals, even though hockey is Canada's #1 sport, but again it might be due to how the last cup won by a Canadian NHL team was in 1993. (Back then, the dollar currency went at an all-time low, so all Canadian teams had to get rid of their star players or relocated, then when things became fine again, all Canadian teams made so much money that all owners stopped caring about putting a decent product on the ice, knowing that they would still sellout anyway, especially Toronto.)
