Super Bowl 2011

Well, that was underwhelming.

There were a couple ads that I thought were funny, but nothing that really had me thinking... in fact, I had to look up what products my top two favorites were for! That's not the end result advertisers really want!

My very favorite was the Bridgestone beaver ad:

The beaver's little "what's up" at the end totally cracks me up.

My second favorite was the Faith Hill Teraflora ad:

 I absolutely love when she says "So, you sent that...".

I was really disappointed in the National Anthem (seriously, Christina, you forgot the lyrics?!) and the half time show. Having seen the Black Eye Peas live, I expected a pretty spectacular half time show. I thought the sound quality was horrible and that they didn't really do anything spectacular.

Finally, the game itself. I was cheering for Green Bay, so I'm happy about the outcome. I know not every game is going to go down in history, but I felt like there wasn't really anything super exciting in this one. Don't get me wrong, it was a good game (and got close... I always love those games that are nail biters), but it just really didn't do it for me! 

SpotBowl 2006

Ok, I'm totally hooked. It was all about SpotBowl 2006 (what, there was some sort of football game on?). It was seriously so much fun - I wrote down each of the commercials and ranked them, then went online and voted. I have to say, it was a blast and I think next year Brigitte and I are going to have a party. A SpotBowl party.

My clear favorites were the Budweiser commercials. I laughed my booty off at "Streaker Sheep" - it was a great play off of last year's Clydesdales playing football. And I LOVED "Junior Clydesdale" where the Mommy and Daddy Clydesdales helped push the cart. That one brought a tear to my eye! I also really liked the "I'm Going To Disneyland" commercials - it was really cute to hear all the players pep talking themselves.

I thought Jessica Simpson's Pizza Hut commercial was completely lame. That along with the Gillette commercials - I mean, honestly, for as much as they pay for those spots, you'd think they could come up with something a little more interesting (and creative)!

And, just to prove that I actually did watch the GAME, I have to give it to the Steelers. They had some amazing plays (A wide reciever throwing a touchdown? In the SuperBowl?!). Turns out the guy was a quarterback in college. Damn! I was rooting for the Seahawks because they were the underdog, but by the end of it, had I had a terrible towl, I would have been swinging it.

That said, I'm taking my cough syrup and going to bed.

Smithson. Out.
