Default Superbowl Commercials

So far my favorites are:

The Bud Lite commercial with Will Ferrell as his "Semi-Pro" character.

Then I think the Coke commercial with James Carver and Bill Frist... getting along...

And then the baby in the E-trade commercials.

Links to follow as soon as they post them online after the game.

What's your favorite?

EDIT: Oh yeah, and the SoBe Life Water commercial with the SoBe lizards doing the necro dance... of course.

Ooops. I thought they were going to wait until the game was over to post them, but it looks like they posted them at the end of each quarter.

Mouse one and the baby one were my favorite. The others were pretty bad... One of the worst year of commercials i have seen in awhile...

Fedex (pigeons), Sobe (lizards doing Thriller), and CareerBuilder.com (spider eating the guy's wish) were all funny, and the Bridgestone commercial would have been funny if Richard Simmons got flattened.

Overall, pretty disappointing, but the high points were higher than usual imo.

Bridgestone, some of the Bud Light, the Amp one with the fat guy and nipple charging, FedEx, Pepsi all had funny commercials, I thought.

The only commercials I enjoyed were:

The 2 Semi-Pro commercials

The Iron Man trailer

The Budweiser Clydesdale/Rocky IV training one was probably the best though

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Seriously though, Doritos went like, o and 6 for "good commercials"

the 2 sale genie . com ads or whatever were awful

overall, horribly disappointing year commercial-wise, good thing it was a great game

The best one is the one they wouldn't show on TV

Seeing as I live in Canada, and we have some lame-ass law saying that TV stations have to air their own commercials, we miss out on 90% of them. I just had to go watch them all on myspace >.<

Some of my favourites were:
Screaming animals
Bud Light-Cheese party
Bud Light-Cavemen
SoBe Life water was win in more ways than I can count.

FedeX pigeons were pretty good.


But seriously, the game, (except the last 10 minutes) was extremely boring. I mean come ON! Each team scores on their opening drive, and then NO points until the last 5 mins or so. The pats set the OFFENSIVE records! jeez.
