Blogging the Superbowl XLVII Commercials (First Half)

Superbowl Menu: Skewered Superbowl Ads

... A superficial real time analysis of first-half Superbowl XLVII ads, continued in next post ....



Doritos: Obvious Goat For Sale conclusion

Go Daddy: Too much volume on the slurping kissing sound effects, which might have worked better in the Doritos' goat commercial. Or switch the slurping and crunching sound effects to improve both commercials. Or possibly switch the goat and the geek in the two commercials. Tasteless.

Pepsi Next -- meh, nothing new or smart

Best Buy with Amy Poehler -- smart and funny. Amy, can I borrow that smirk?

Black Crown -- Love the model's dress!

Oreo -- Shhhhhhh! Funny, original, great to see a library in the spotlight

RAV4 -- Still waiting for something to RAV for .....

 Doritos princess -- Looks familiar

Calvin Klein underwear -- Now we're getting somewhere; I counted 50 shades of gray ....

Cars.com -- Mama Wolf had a mean and hungry look, I was hoping she would leap for the saleman's throat. Now THAT'S drama ....

Bud Light -- voodoo 'It's only weird if it works' -- Great idea, not well executed -- slow start did not have me on pins and needles .... Wait, did both Harbaugh brothers just collapse writhing on the sidelines??

GoDaddy -- Big idea -- Ok pretty effective

Milk and The Rock -- Love them both. Help! Come rescue me, Dwayne! Bring the model from the Calvin Klein ad.

Sonata turbo -- yes I can relate to getting stuck behind horses asses

Volkswagon -- Lost in translation (even though it was in English)



(Look, I'm not commenting on movie trailers, because I always want to see every movie after watching its trailer. I'm not reviewing the Tv promos either, because I don't bang crime shows.)



Coke chase  -- Music, scenery, action, showgirls! Grade: A

Subway with Kevin from 'The Office' -- Ok, I missed this; I was heading to the fridge for a Coke

Taco Bell with Seniors acting like teens -- Good job, fun

Sketchers GoRun Shoes -- Meh

Lincoln Car -- I don't Gettysburg it ...



HALFTIME SHOW -- Waiting for the Queen to parachute into the stadium Oh wait, it's got a roof .....
