Super Bowl Ads 2008

My 5 favorite commercials from this SuperBowl XLII:

5. Fed Ex – Giant pigeons
4. Pixar – Wall-E trailer
3. Diet Pepsi Max – nodding off
2. Bridgestone – screaming Richard Simmons
1. Bridgestone – screaming critters

You can see all of the Super Bowl commercials here.

Honorable mention: the NFL's story about Chester Pitts, Justin Timberlake getting thrown around by Pepsi, the new Narnia and Ironman trailers, Doritos' giant mouse, and the two E-Trade baby commercials.

Question 1: Why do people go nuts over dalmatians and Clydesdales? Budweiser has a guaranteed winner every year with essentially the same premise. I don't get it.

Question 2: How many people didn't understand the Audi commercial because they haven't seen, didn't recognize, or don't remember The Godfather (1972)?

Question 3: What was Career Builder thinking? Really?

Don't forget the energy drink (can't remember which one) that had the guy with the car battery attatched to his nips. That one still haunts me...in a horrified kinda way.
