Superbowl XLI: Break 8

"Office Anarchy" | careerbuilder.com

Summary: We're in a forest office — suddenly, someone starts shooting pens from blowguns, Indiana Jones style. The tribal office workers run for their lives, hitting swinging water-cooler booby traps, and eventually falling like lemmings off a cliff.

High Point: Random reception desk in the middle of the forest, and the dead pan "please sign out" as the half naked forest-workers run for their lives.

Low Point: Realizing your job is like this, only you don't get fresh air.

Will this commercial calm or inflame the Iraqi civil war? I'm afraid that this is what the office looked like when we were planning the Iraq war.

"Chip Checkout Approval" | Doritos

Summary: Checker at the supermarket highly approves of man with handle bar moustache's chip-buying choices.

High Point: The last line. After the woman at the checkout gets really, really excited over her love of chips, we cut away, only to see her again, hair disheveled, popping in a chip to her mouth not unlike a lit cigarette, and commenting, "Gonna need a cleanup on register 6." Wow.

Low Point: I just ate Doritos, and I feel dirty.

Will this commercial calm or inflame the Iraqi civil war? That's right, all you need to get laid in America is a bag of Doritos and a smile. That, and low standards.

"Naked Man Car Wash" | Chevorlet

Summary: A spot of dirt on a Chevy HHR draws a man on the street to wipe it off. The women in the car give him a dollar for the service, and he reacts by grabbing it in his mouth and taking off his shirt. Every other man in a four block radius reacts in the same way, cleaning their car and taking off their shirts. Water and pudgy white flesh abound. Somehow, female sexuality is attractive, while male sexuality is just plain funny.

High Point: The dollar/teeth grab.

Low Point: Not everyone should take off their shirts during the daytime. Plus, one of the older men looked eerily like my father.

Will this commercial calm or inflame the Iraqi civil war? We all look pink and flabby under the body armor.
