The Ads of Super Bowl XLII


Break 2

Super Bowl 42

"Wake Up (the NBC copyright lawyers)" | Diet Pepsi Max

Summary: Finally. The Narcolepsy Network, a national non-profit founded in 1986, scrounged up enough money to buy a Super Bowl ad.

High Point: Chris Kattan's power turned back on.

Low Point: The sleepless anticipation next year, waiting for Pepsi's humorous take on "The Richmeister." ("Pepsi-o-rama!")

Is this commercial an agent of change?



Sorry, nodded off.


"Death of a Salesgenie" | Salesgenie.com

Summary: A poor salesman (Ramesh), who happens to be the company's worst salesman, is told he has to double his sales or else he's "out of here." Ramesh replies, "I have seven kids!" (Catholic?) Boss replies: "Not my problem!" Salesman enters Internet query: 'How can I double my sales,' into search engine. Result: SalesGenie.com. Doubling of sales. Wife, children, saved from life of penury.

High Point: Special appearance by Danny Devito, with musical guest Creed

Low Point: One of Ramesh's children gets polio and dies.

Is this commercial an agent of change? Maybe. It could even double their sales.

But you know what might work even better for Salesgenie.com than advertising during the SuperBowl? Oh, I don't know ... maybe SalesGenie.com.


"Sexy Robots" | Fox's "Sarah Connor Chronicles"

Summary: Fox tomorrow — A machine with killer moves. Killer attitude. And killer looks. Terminator, the Sarah Connor Chronicles.

High Point: Having sex with the robot.

Low Point: Realizing the robot has the same parts as the Arnold model.

Is this commercial an agent of change? Hey everybody, vote for Ron Paul! Ron Paul 2008! Join the revolutuion!
