The Top 10 Best Super Bowl Commercials in the History of My Memory
No Cowboys? No problem.
Go Daddy made me giggle at its "wardrobe malfunction." But, nope, not on the list.
We're still watching Sunday's Super Bowl, right? Still ingesting chips, dips, beer, bets on the coin flip and, of course, commercials.
When our rooting interests are between a 9-7 Cardinals team led by a gloved quarterback and a coaching staff littered with former Cowboy assistants, and a Steelers team trying to pass Dallas with its sixth trophy, the ads are about all we got.
Crap, we don't even have a Lingerie Bowl at halftime this year. Or for that matter, an NBC-banned PETA skin flick.
The ads had better be good. At $3 million per 30-second spot, you'd think they'd be great. That's right, three friggin' million. Bailout? Layoffs? Madoff? No worries, apparently.
This year we're getting a remake of the classic Coke/Mean Joe Greene ad (this one starring Pittsburgh's Troy Polamalu) and the funny Miller High Life dude (these lasting one whole second), so there's hope.
But likely they'll disappoint more than the game. Probably be a forgettable amalgamation of, hmm, lemme guess: talking animals, flatulence humor, celebrities, sentimentalities or a rudamentary catch phrase. Come to think of it, all - good, bad or indifferent - fit into those molds.
