My Favourite Super Bowl Commercials

Well the lastest Superbowl has come and gone and with it a new crop of infamous Super Bowl Ads. I am sure by now everyone has had time to hit the internet and see the latest but if you haven't then you can find them all here http://www.ifilm.com/superbowl.

Chevy put a whole swack of ads together and I would say by and large they were ok. The only that stood out for me was the GM one with the robot who day dreams what its life would be like if it screwed up and got fired but i think it was supposed to be a funny ad it was really just kind of sad.



A bunch of companies had ads for black history month which I guess is important in the states but they just seemed boring to me. Maybe I am just being insensitive? Sierra Mist had some interesting ads including the beard combover. Everyone was talking about the Snickers kiss the next day and while both this and the Sierra Mist ads got a cheap laugh they weren't classics by any means. Coke plugged a couple of computer generated ads but both ads have already been playing before movies and they are probably more suited to that kind of atmosphere. Ford, Toyoto and Lexus rolled out intriguing ads with Ford showing all of the thousands of truck components coming together and Toyoto stopping its truck just before it falls off a cliff, and Lexus having its car race a car dropped from a helicopter to show that its so fast it can beat gravity. All three were kinda cool and geared to the right audience but failed to make my list of the best.

My favourite ads came from some likely places with Bud Light and Fed-Ex making the cut as well as a couple different ads from Nationwide and Sprint that I really enjoyed. So here are my top 5 favourite ads from Super Bowl XLI.

Number 5: Sprint - Connectile Dysfunction
This ad parodies erectile dysfunction to a T. I love parodies.



Number 4: FedEx - Don't Judge
FedEx always has a good ad every year and this one is definitely water-cooler talk worthy.



Number 3: Bud Light - Auctioneer's Wedding
An auctioneer helps the grooms men get to the Bud faster. Ingenious!



Number 2: Nationwide - K-Fed Rollin' VIP
Excellent ad with K-Fed poking fun at himself. I can't believe the union of bugger flippers (see people with an Arts degree) are suing Nationwide for this one.



Number 1: Bud Light - Slapping
God I hope this doesn't catch on. Destined to be another classic.
