Superbowl XLI: Break 2

"Things that are not as cool as our soda" | Sierra Mist

Summary: There's this guy. He has a beard comb-over. And he wears super short jean shorts! AND he wears roller skates! Hilarious!

High Point: An actual live depiction of a beard comb-over.

Low Point: The last 25 seconds of the commercial.

Will this ad finally allow young Iraqis to open their hearts to freedom, American-style? While not all Muslim sects advise the growth of facial hair, those men in sects which do now have a new way to use it.

"Check out my business suit!" | SalesGenie.com

Summary: A man, who looks eerily like Aaron Eckhart in Thank you for Smoking, enjoys his business day because of how savvy of a salesman he is. It's like American Psycho means Death of a Salesman.

High Point: His effortless smile.

Low Point: The feeling as though he may snap my neck.

Will the protagonist of this commercial cover his entire apartment in plastic, put on Huey Lewis' album Sports! and hack apart my body? Entirely possible.

"These Are Some Hilarious Ways to Kick Ass!" | Sierra Mist

Summary: The Sierra Mist crew is in a martial arts class. Sensei Michael Ian Black asks them what they would do if someone tried to steal their Sierra Mist.

High Point: The question.

Low Point: Every single answer provided.

Will this commercial calm or inflame the Iraqi civil war? Surely enflame. While I'm not sure whether or not the Iraqi insurgents would be able to identify a Sierra Mist soda let alone want it enough to forcibly steal it, this attitude is important for our troops. It boils down to a philosophy that reads: if you touch me, I will kill you, and all of America will laugh.
