Super Bowl Commercials Part II – Did I see them?
Last week in this space, I posted on whether I would be able to watch this years batch of Super Bowl commercials live on my television. For those of you who have been anxiously waiting to find out, you probably need to get more interests in your life. But for those who need to know- Yes I Did.
This year’s commercials left me underwhelmed. I think we all have had enough of monkeys and talking babies. It felt a lot like years back with many ads for automakers and dot coms. For those unable to see them the first time around or if you want to see them again, this years commercials can be viewed at sites such as www.youtube.com/adblitz and www.foxsports.com/ads.
I am conducting a poll on some of the more popular commercials this year. Scroll down to the bottom and I’ll tell you my favourite.
As for my favorite, while I laughed at the Dorito’s ad and loved seeing all my favourite old TV characters in the NFL Network’s creative spot, I am going with Volkswagen and the The Darth Vader kid. Although not as flashy as some of the other ads, this sweet and simple ad brought back the innocence of childhood.
