Godzilla Meets Robot Guy -- Hummer Ad

This one is all kinds of wrong. Very funny, but very wrong. I

8 out of 10.


PS The New Clean

Everyone wearing clean suits. Nice visual representation of the product, but for a new product, a more direct commercial might have been good.

Career Builder

Jackasses. VERY Funny, especially in pants.

Taco Bell

Already seen it. Cute. But no rating.

Slim Fast

Don't bug me while I'm eating. Boring commercial.

Clydesdale Rookie

Great commercial, once again bringing humor, sentimentality, and the Budweiser tradition together. Love the shot of the big horses pushing the carriage.

Nationwide Fabio

Saw stills from this commercial. Love the quick killing of the music and Fabio's little growl. A good addition to the "Life Comes At You Fast" series.

I'm going to Disney World & Others

Disney World
A sweet, funny ode to the famous phrase, "I'm going to Disney World."

Ameriquest

Funny ad. Shocked that it was allowed in giving that it hints at sex.

Pebl


Nice special effects, but doesn't want me make to buy the phone.

Sharpie Retractible

Cute commercial, but an odd fit for the Super Bowl. I'm still not sure I'd want to put an uncovered Sharpie in my pocket.

Sprint Crime Deterent

Oh my god! I was expecting some sort of silly joy buzzer thing, not the guy hurling the phone. Another winner, but will probably not stand up in repeated viewings.

Go Daddy.com

Wasn't funny last year when it was a year stale, after two years, still no funnier. The girl's not that attractive either.

Poseidon


A great looking ad for the disaster movie remake. We're all suckers for sinking boats (although it's a bit tasteless, I suppose after the sinking of the ferry this weekend).

Gillette Fusion

I'm sorry but I can't get the vision of Mad Magazine's 10 bladed razor out of my head. I'm tired of high tech razors coming out every few years that cost more but don't cut any better.

4 out of 10

Overstock.com

Don't come to the game if you're not bringing the best. Boring commercial I can see any day on Lifetime network.

3 out of 10, but only because I like the O chick.

Disney World

My daughter loved it. Who am I to argue.

Fed Ex Caveman




Flying dinosaurs, humor, violence against animated animals, and a great visual punchline at the end. What's not to love. My favorite so far. I loved the fact that the caveman office manager didn't think the fact that Fed Ex didn't exist was a good excuse.

Amusing, but slight promo.

Kermit -- Ford Hybrid -- 8
Sue me, I love Kermit. Nice play on words. Good payoff.

Michelob Ultra Amber -- 8
Originally rated it a nine, lowered it because of the girl getting her licks in the end. Funnier the way it was.

Despirate Housewives Promo -- 1
If you're going to have Shaq shed a tear, which might be funny, don't have him doing it over a miscarriage. Not funny, even if its fictional.

Mission Impossible III -- 7
Great ad, the way a Super Bowl should be. If only they could replace Tom Cruise with someone I like.

Dove -- 7.5

Having a daughter that I find absolutely beautiful, my fear is that she'll feel like the girls in the commercial. Effective targeting of the dads out there, if you ask me.

Career Builder -- 5
Tired concept. Enough already with the monkeys.

Escalade -- 3

Flash bulbs guaranteed to cause seizures. Ad needs to show more sheet metal. Build up leads to boring looking vehicle.
