This Blog is brought to you in THX sound.
OK, so everyone is talking about the big upset today. I'm not gonna pile on too.
I will share my thoughts on the Superbowl Ads though. We have fallen a long way as a marketing driven society from the days of the Bud Light Frogs and Terry Tate Office Linebacker, but last night had some worthy additions.
My Top 5
#5 Jutin Timberlake Pepsi Ad
Decently funny with some just quirky enough cameos.
# 4 - Doritos Mousetrap
Unexpected ending. Hilariously low special effects/costume budget.
# 3 - Bridgestone Tires Screaming Animals
Funny enough at first, reaches a new level with the green bug (listen closely)
# 2 - Soundproof Corolla
Ill timed cell phone calls + ornery badgers = comedy goldmine
#1 - Coca Cola Parade
Chuck finally gets the win after all these years (yes i got a little misty eyed)
These rankings are, as always up for debate (except for #1, I will not argue this)
So, how about some awards for the also-rans.
The If Only It Really Was This Easy award goes to Coca Cola with The Carville and Frist Jinx
The Borderline Enjoyable Commercial Utterly Devastated by a Lame, 10 Year old SNL Reference goes to Pepsi with Baby Don't Hurt Me
The I Will Stab You If You Cause Me To Miss This Movie award goes to Wanted.
Seriously, if you don't know about this movie do a little research. This one is gonna do a little ass kicking I do believe.
And finally, The Can We Please Stop With The Talking Head Hyperbole and Unwarranted Hype and Let Them Play the Games award goes to - Plaxico Burress and the NY Giants.
OK so I piled on a little bit. I don't care.
Till next time!

my #1 is the screaming animals. I mean, come on. it made me laugh hardest. that's how I rank things. :)
hey, i can totally see that argument. i just chose the slightly more sadistic animal humor of the corolla add and i'm partial to charlie brown's plight so that's why i went the way i did
Scary...when Charlie Brown got the Coke, I was like, 'About time Chuck gets SOMETHING!'
