I can’t believe it’s been almost 24 hours since the Purple Birds beat the Red Numbers in the big game and we haven’t even talked about THE ADS yet!!! THE ADS!!! Was it just me, or was this year the most snooziest of all the years? When that one ad came on for farms with some old man showing his iPhoto slideshow I said “Well, the weird thing is THIS is the best ad of the night,” because it was. Everything was so boring and/or racist. Apparently all of the beer in the world is black now? Sure. (Speaking of: what was that one black beer ad with a cartoon frog singing Cee-Lo songs or something? Because he was going to have sex with the bottle? Do we all live in Germany now?) The real takeaway from last night was that you should never raise an animal and love it like a true friend, because eventually you will just have to sell it to Budweiser. YIKES. Oh wait, what am I even talking about, last night was the premiere of the new Go Daddy ad where the ugly nerd kissed the hot babe with tongue! WHAT A NIGHT TO REMEMBER I AM JUST KIDDING IT WAS THE WORST. But, so, OK, fine, what was your favorite company? As required by law, everyone had to make at least one Super Bowl influenced purchase today, so what was it? A truck? A bag of pistachios (aka outdated pop referenceios)? Axe body spray? (Fictionalization.) THE IMPORTANT THING IS THAT AMERICAN PEOPLE CONTINUE TO FEEL CONFIDENT IN BUYING THINGS OTHERWISE OUR EXPLOITATIVE CAPITALIST SYSTEM OF FREE MARKET SUBJUGATION OF THE THIRD WORLD ALL GOES BYE BYE! So, like, Doritos? Coke? Tell me what you buy!!!! (May sell personal information to third party advertisers.)

I just bought an entire pallet of Budweiser’s new Eyes Wide Shut beer.
I’m kind of wondering who they’re trying to market that to. It can’t be the craft beer community. I spend some time with people in the craft beer community and they do NOT look like the people in that commercial. And if it’s to people who want to get drunk faster (ooh, it’s 6% ABV!), umm, that’s what shots are for. Also drugs.
I was impressed with the Synergy on display between Budweiser and Taco Bell/Burger King #Clydesdales
It hit that sweet spot of marketing fail, where every target group is thinking “this can’t be about us!?”. Craft beer folks were hashtagging “hipster beer” after each one of these commercials, and I was in a room with my hipster and non-hipster friends and they were laughing and making Stanley Kubrick jokes.
…and we all know Beck’s nailed the black demo with their Blackstreet singing koi fish, soooo….what’s up Budweiser?
Always nice to be reminded that the face of intelligence is male.
Well duh, imsteph. Ladies don’t use their brains for thinking? Now who wants a bowl full of strawberry ice cream!?
I liked the Oreo’s (library whispering) ad, however, I don’t see how anyone could think the cookie is the best part of an Oreo. There’s a reason why they came out with double-stuf cream Oreos and not double-stuf cookie Oreos. CREAMS 4EVA.
Well, there are 2 layers of cookie and only one layer of cream. If cream was as popular as you say it is, wouldn’t it be 2 creams surrounding a cookie? Huh?
I hope no one beats me to registering 2creams1cookie.co via GoDaddy.com.
You make a compelling point.
I have no opinion because instead of watching the Super Bowl I watched four episodes of Dr. Who. Do I get deported now?
I watched a repeat of the American Experience about Henry Ford. He’s super American! Just TRY to deport me!
Poor Edsel. Not only does his dad give him a terrible name and treat him like shit, but then that name becomes synonymous with failure. And he saved the company at one point.
Henry Ford funded Hitler. Did PBS leave that out?
No, PBS made it very clear that Henry Ford as a human was awful
Me too!!! Exactly 4 episodes! We should have had a Dr Who party, you and I.
I would suggest that we get in the Tardis and go back to correct this mistake, but then we might cause a wound in time and flying dragon monsters would chase us into a church and eat someone’s dad so maybe not.
Once you figure out the paradox thing, the timey wimey stuff comes a lot easier.
I watched 3 episodes of Fringe. #worthit
Great minds think alike! I watched Season 6, episodes 1-6 (with chips and guacamole at hand) and half the Puppy Bowl.
If you get deported, then I go to. We are Sparta!
* 6 episodes of Doctor Who. Worth every second.
I asked a question on twitter last night but did not get a confirmation from anyone, but at one point last night I walked by the tv at the tail end of what I SWEAR was a commercial for Scientology.
Did ANYONE see this?
Donnarito’s Darko.
THANK XENU IM NOT ALONE
Thank Xenu in general.
Right now a few Scientologists are screaming out that Xenu is not the Jesus of Scientology. Too funny.

It seems some other people were perplexed by it as well.
Anyone who is actually fooled by that ad is a moron, not a knowledge-seeker.
I still think Scientology is a weird flavor for Doritos, but what do I know.
I didn’t pay too close attention to that whole affair, but I did see the Dodge truck farmer ad and I hated it. I called it “dull, nationalistic baloney” for no better reason than to annoy the other people who seemed so enamored by it, but I think I agree with myself. I love farmers and all, but I don’t believe they are like that ad depicted them. And, besides, they’re not going to be the majority of the customers for those shiny pickups. Suburban jerks who like to pretend they’re salt of the earth, and kids of Mosanto execs are.
Grantland does a pretty excellent job of taking this comercial down. Basically they agree with you, as do I, as should everyone.
If I ever met Bill Watterson I don’t think I could ever stop apologizing for the assholes who started making and popularizing the series of ‘Calvin’ window stickers. Those fucking assholes.
Yeah I turned on the Super Bowl at the exact same time as the commercial, and my mom and I were trying to guess what it was for. I was correct, but only after saying “Whatever this is for, it’s going to piss me off.”
The kissing noises from the Go Daddy ad made me feel a little queasy, so anything else is my favourite.
I usually don’t understand why most stories on the Today show count as “news” but when I woke up to a five minute “news story” about this Go Daddy ad last week, they reached an all time low.
In all seriousness, Doritos. It was silly enough (screaming addict goats!!) that I laughed out loud and then could move on with my life, instead of thinking about if my chips were cool or American enough.
In not so seriousness, GoDaddy…because they must have spent millions on mic’ing that room. So loud!
Hey, guys, I’m selling commemorative plates for a limited time. Let me know if I can put you down for one ($79.99 each).
Oh and I found this while searching for images of commemorative plates

I’m appalled.
I am just about to shut down the internet for the night, and nothing NOTHING i saw today came close to matching the sheer awesomeness of this. I am inspired to make a plate for everything… I AM GOING TO LUNCH inscribed around the platter with a Gorey-esque burrito sketched in the middle. This is an endless mine of artistic treasure. Muse indeed.

The extended look at Iron Man 3 that was just RDJ taking his glasses off and taking an extended look into the camera was, uh, interesting. Interesting marketing choice, Disney/Marvel Studios.
I think all trailers from now should be swedes made by the cast and crew of whatever big budget film they’re releasing.
as aforementioned, my favorite ad was for the city of new orleans and our horrific decaying infrastructure.
I thought that was an ad for Star Trek.
I’m Canadian, so I basically watched the same six normal ads over and over again. We did see the pistachio one, and one with Paul Rudd in it that was really terrible and lazy except that it had Paul Rudd (meta ads are boring and dumb!!).
I didn’t watch so I have to ask; was there a Taylor Swift/Diet Coke ad?
There was. It was extraordinary.
til I looked at the paycheck that said $4328, I did not believe …that…my neighbour realie receiving money parttime on-line.. there neighbor started doing this 4 less than and recently paid for the loans on their villa and bourt themselves a Nissan GT-R:. we looked here………. BIT40.ℂOM
4 less than what?????
I fear that Ms. Anabelleeppling is one of the many who have fallen through the manifold cracks in your education system. It fills one with gentle sorrow to see the promise of youth unfulfilled, but let us take heart in this case, for she seems to be offering us advice (if I understand her correctly) and an honest concern for the welfare of one’s fellows is a far more precious gift than literacy.
Cool story bro.

The first ad of the Puppy Bowl had puppies buying cars and driving off. I liked that one, but I won’t buy a Subaru because their gas mileage is terrible.
A tribute to Videogum’s Nose for News(TM): The guy from that GoDaddy.com ad has been featured on Videogum before:

I have no need for corporate products now that I’ve joined the Illuminati after getting the secret signals from Beyonce during the halftime show.
The only commercial I noticed was the Star Trek trailer and that sweet sweet Cumberbatch.
Best part of my evening!
loved it
The slurping noises in that godaddy ad just about made me hurl.
My favorite company is the company of my friends and family!
