The Ads of Super Bowl XLII
Break 19
"Bud Light Likes Funky Mascots...Meet Jackie Moon" | Bud Light
Summary: Will Ferrell wears 70's basketball jersey and does ads for Bud Light that he keeps screwing up. He says a whole bunch of nonsense as the cameramen do take after take.
High Point: He does his Anchorman character in a 70's basketball jersey. The best line is when he gets flabbergasted with the stock phrases and just says: "Bud Light. Suck It."
Low Point: The whose schmaltz thing has got have its days numbered.
Is this commercial an agent of change? You bet. "Ron Paul: Suck It."
"We Don't Care What You Think Of Our Ad For The Hyundai Genesis" | Hyundai Genesis
Summary: A deep-voiced narrator demurely intones about how they don't care what the ad-busters in "USA Today" think of their ad. Or, the whole of the ad critics in the country. Which includes your humble correspondent.
High Point: Way to stick it to the haters, Hyundai. You're the baddest assed car company around. You don't care what "society" says. You do your own thing.
Low Point: I realize I am society's slave.
Is this commercial an agent of change? Quit trying to be edgy. It's making me depressed.
"Don't Watch Football...Have Sex!" | Victoria's Secret
Summary: Super hot model does sexy postures with a football. Place cards say that after the game, the real games begin. It's pretty clear what they mean.
High Point: Super hot model posing with football with alluring come-hither stare.
Low Point: Don't remind me of the fact that I am too emotionally crippled to find romantic fulfillment.
Is this commercial an agent of change? Make love, not football.
"Random Fat Shoves Car Jacks To His Nipples And Dances Around" | ?
Summary: Pretty much summed it up already.
High Point: It's actually pretty funny.
Low Point: Well...
Is this commercial an agent of change? Alternate fuels are always a useful proposition.
