Last Airbender looks cool.

Big fan of the real Avatar, this looks awesome.

I didn't see any good ones.  Did they all suck this year? The best one I saw was before kickoff and I don't think was a SB premiering one. The one with the LeBron-Dwight Howard Dunk contest.

Snickers Commercial - Betty White - Super Bowl 44 Spot	DQ

They all pretty much sucked this year, and it was also pretty much just Doritos and Budweiser advertising this year.

There were also about a million very Tame Go-Daddy.com commercials.

They are all the same.
And when you visit the site, it's all about web hosting and nothing about half naked women.  I don't see the correlation.

Oh and for those who saw the dockers commercial at dockers.com/freepants where they say "Hey it's free pants people" - it's a sweepstakes, not a free pair of pants.

Canadian so we got to see crap. I find it really depressing when Hyundai and Scotiabank can buy up 30% of the ad time on CTV. And then CTV reserves another 20% for its "coming on CTV" ads (which to me implies they didn't sell out their ad spots).

Miserable.

I don't understand these commercials.. why are chicks just stripping in front of Danica Patrick? the set-up makes no sense.

I could understand if they had a dude as a spokesperson, or if it was Danica Patrick stripping down, or if a dude was stripping for Danica Patrick (unless she's a lesbian, in which case this would all make sense)

Then there's the Audi "Green Police" commercial. What to make of it?

Audi 2010 Green Car Super Bowl Commercial	DQ

Are the Audi marketing folks mocking the creeping ecofascist state while simultaneously looking to capitalize on it? If so, they're breathtakingly cynical ... and pretty fucking brilliant. If not, they'e just spent a huge amout of money on a too-clever-by-half strategy that will not sell a single Audi.

[jaypee]

I really disliked that commercial.

although there are tons of little eco-dictators where I live.. but still, I really don't know where they were going with this.

[Jack R.]

I've never seen so much self promotion by a single network.  It seemed like all the half time commerials were for CBS television shows.

For that matter, The Who performed the themes for the entire CSI franchise.  Nice product placement.

Yeah, it seemed like a mixed message in that commercial. I thought the setup was absolutely brilliant but then it ends with, "Oh yeah, and buy our green car...". :shrug:

I don't get the whole Danika Patrick thing at all, I don't find attractive or interesting at all.  I guess because she's in a male dominated sport that makes her hot to lonely gear heads or something, but really she's not spokes-model good looking to me at all,

[jaypee]

I don't know about that.. did you see her spread in SI's Swimsuit Issue last year? I mean, she's not a Victoria's Secret model, but she's hotter than Brooke Shields for one.
