We found it difficult to tear ourselves away from the "Puppy Bowl" and turn the channel to the Superbowl, but since we were going to skip through all that boring game stuff and just watch the commercials, we figured it wouldn't be too painful. Keep in mind, though, that since we've got TiVo, this is about the only time during the year we actually do watch commercials. Because of that we might not be able to tell whether these Superbowl ads were actually any better or worse than what's on TV on a nightly basis. But we'll still feel free to criticize nonetheless.
We're not sure just when in the broadcast of the million dollar spots actually starts. Pre-national anthem? Post? After the first kick-off? So we'll just start with the first commercial that was remotely funny and go on from there. Bud Light and its added fire-breathing features. That screaming cat noise gets us every time...Following that was another take on the old horse's-head-in-the-bed scene from . In this case it had something to do with a luxury car taking revenge on another luxury car. Or something. Really, the most clever thing about the ad is the actor who plays the screaming sleeper was actually in The Godfather, as Moe Greene, the guy who gets shot in the eye while getting a massage...
