Was it just me, or did this year's crop of Super Bowl commercials seem really lame to you?
We saw an unusually high number of local commercials, overriding the national feed. We were surprised. It's hard to know whether there were national commercials we didn't see, or if no one bought airtime for those national slots. I had heard that all the slots were sold out a couple of weeks ago, so I'm not sure what was going on. But when you see the same old ads for ambulance-chasing lawyers or the local community college during the Super Bowl, it's a bit surprising. Those local advertisers got a HELL of a bang for their buck that evening.
These were our favorites.
About Me
- Marvin the Martian
- I am an alien here on this little planet. I've been sent to learn about life here, to observe people and things around me, and to become a better entity by applying the lessons that I learn here. I've chosen the name "Marvin the Martian" because he is familiar to many, and the Martian mindset isn't expected to be similar to a human's. Thank you for stopping by to read this little blog. I hope you'll come back.

Yes the Doritos one is really lame..
The "Dog Revenge" one was done here in my area as part of a contest. When it aired, they knew they had won. I think the prize money was something like $650K! My favorite commercial was the David Letterman one. I was cracking up. The "Milkaholic" cracked me up, too. And the one with the babies on the plane. "Dad? Dad?" Still laughing.
