BEST NEW Super Bowl Commercial
The ClubHouse: Archives: BEST NEW Super Bowl Commercial
Donut | Sunday, February 03, 2002 - 10:19 pm   how did i miss the cows and horses??? didnt anyone like the etrade commercials when the football players put on their black eye stuff, but then the camera pulls back and they are in cat costumes drawing on black whiskers, getting ready for the half time show, and when the monkey does a musical and the guy yells at him in the office in a following commercial for doing a musical, and then i think the big ball players were in tutus. they were funny.also the back up computer data one was great when the guys that had the info in their heads for the big meeting kept hitting their heads and falling, and also the fed express ad when the guy repeats what the other guy says only with a hand gesture and everyone listens to him. i thought all the commercials tonite were actually pretty good,i actually didnt even mind hearing the old pepsi songs despite brittany emptybetweentheears appearances. |
Spygirl | Monday, February 04, 2002 - 05:42 am   The top four reviewed on the Today show: #4 -- Scwabb -- Barry Bonds and Hank Aaron..."it's time"... #3 -- Budweiser -- Cedrick the Entertainer (the one above that I said was predictable ) where he is helping his friend pick up a girl in a bar. #2 -- Budweiser -- Falcon (not Hawk) who retreives the bottles of bud and invades the restaurant...HILARIOUS #1 -- Budweiser -- Satin Sheets...woman in bedroom, puts on teddy, gets satin sheets ready and bud...calls hubby who comes running, lands on the satin sheets and slides right out the window. GREAT one. Can't BELIEVE they didn't show the Clydesdales commercial. It is wonderful. |

Gail | Monday, February 04, 2002 - 05:49 am   Nevermind, they charge to view them. |
Crazydog | Monday, February 04, 2002 - 08:46 am   I think you can see them at usatoday.com. You can also see some of them at CNN.com. Here's a link to the page on which CNN/Sports Illustrated rated the ads: CNN/SI ad review (I don't know how to get the link to show up in color, but I think it's there...) I agree completely with Sports Illustrated about the Clydesdale ads and unfortunately disagree with many of you here. Maybe I am just jaded, like the SI writer, but I didn't get it. It probably doesn't help that I have never cared for the Clydesdales... I know it's tradition and all but they're just horses. The only Clydesdale ad I have ever liked was the one where two dalmations who were best friends as puppies passed each other while riding horse-drawn wagons. I have always enjoyed Superbowl ads for their humor and creativeness. I don't tend to like sentimental/message ads. There were far too many anti-drug and anti-smoking ads. And as far as the Clydesdales and the Monster.com.... it would be far more meaningful if they took the money they spent on this ad and donated it... I'm sure Fox didn't pass it on. I'm not saying that these companies have not donated to the various charities, they very well might have. To do a commercial like this reminds me of the guy who does good deeds not out of pure kindness but because he craves attention, and when no one notices, he goes around and tells everyone about what a wonderful thing he's done. By far the worst ads were the ones for that stupid mlife.com. We had to wait until the second half to find out it was an AT&T thing, and by then I lost interest. Reminds me of a dot com company called March 3rd that ran print ads asking "what is March 3rd" and nobody cared. OK, I better go get my flame-retardant suit on, my opinions seem to be a lot more conservative than most people here!  |

Kstme | Monday, February 04, 2002 - 09:13 am   Crazydog...I will be the first to stand up for Budweiser. In 1985, I worked for a liquor distributorship in Seattle. Bud was one of our main clients. They make unbelievable contributions to ALL charities! They go out of their way to help communities in crisis. They don't just pick Christmas...they do it all year long and without the fanfare you see in most corporations. I have friends that work for Bud and they haven't changed their attitude since I left the distributorship! I liked the M&M commercial! A little chocolate on your pillow? ROFL! The Clydesdales touched me...sorry, it did! |
Twiggyish | Monday, February 04, 2002 - 11:14 am   I liked the guy with the rubbery dancing legs. It's a hit in our house. (8 year old really loved it) |
Goatgirl | Monday, February 04, 2002 - 11:27 am   I liked the idea for the Pepsi commercial but I am beginning to lose patience waiting for Britney's 15 minutes to be up. Watching the E-trade commercial with the monkey in the musical I thought, okay this is just about the stupidest commercial I have ever seen and some poor ad writer is about to get fired. So the way it turned out was funny. Crazydog I have to agree with you and SI on the Clydesdale ad. Something about it just felt weirdly wrong to me. |
Jeep | Monday, February 04, 2002 - 11:57 am   OI, I agree with you. I'm not a great fan of Britney, but I did like the commercial. Maybe it's because I can remember most of those decades!!!!! Ooops! Telling my age! I guess you either loved or hated the Clydesdale ad. I loved it! They are not "just" horses. They were symbols of our sadness about what happened in New York. That's they way I took it. Overall, I didn't think the commercials came up to par with previous SB ads. I won't even start about the half-time stuff. |
Ocean_Islands | Monday, February 04, 2002 - 11:57 am   I thought the Clydesdales bit was moving, too. Mlife bits were boring and reminiscent of last year. Pepsi last year was boring, this year it was great (except for the '90s' bit which I thought was dumb). |
Solidsnake | Monday, February 04, 2002 - 12:06 pm   they all sucked |
Jewels | Monday, February 04, 2002 - 01:54 pm   I thought the Clydesdales were very touching, and a nice tribute by Budweiser. I didn't mind the Pepsi commercial, but thought the hype about it before the Superbowl was ridiculous. MLife made me just want to boycott even going to the website, I'm not going to do it! I missed the sliding off the satin sheets ad, I hear that was the best. I didn't think that it was a stellar year commercial-wise, I suppose the economy and the Olympics are to blame. |
Scarlett | Tuesday, February 05, 2002 - 04:00 am   The Kevin Bacon one was hilariously. How more funny can you get than having the "man" himself play the 6 degrees to Kevin Bacon. I did not see the Clydsdales one. My husband did. He got chillbumps watching it. Real Ones. When he recounted the ad to me, he got them again. So Budweiser reached someone....LOL |
Teddybear | Tuesday, February 05, 2002 - 01:36 pm   I liked the Kevin Bacon one as well. But my favorite had to be Britney. Yes, I am a Britney fan and I am not afraid to admit it. She's fun! |
Honey51 | Wednesday, February 06, 2002 - 06:39 am   I liked the Clydsdales ad. I felt it was a tribute to New York without being explotive. I thought the Pepsi ad was cute. By the way, I'm from Louisiana and we drink COKE not Pepsi. My favorite was the Budweiser ad with the refrigerator and the robot. |
