Been a couple good ones so far. I like the one with the horses & the zebra - very funny :)

A couple other have been good too, nothing that I have seen has "wow'd" me yet.

personally my favorite was the McDonalds commercial in the pregame show. The Osbourne commercial was pretty good too.

I don't know who to root for - I usually root for the team with a former Purdue player on it. But this year I have Alstott on Tampa Bay and Rod Woodson on Oakland so I am just enjoying the game.

I like the red team. Dont know their names, but the red team is who I am rooting for. Then again, I dont watch the game, just the commercials.

Ad for "I'm a celebrity, get me out of here" With Mellisa Rivers and Robin Leech - LOL

I was worried for a second I was gonna see Carrot Top.

Watching the commercials is my favorite part :) I was starting a thread at the same time Ryn started this one :)

So far...we've seen Budweiser in the lead:

1). The strong man contest with the fridge full of beer and the audience members who come down and try to steal the fridge. Goes to a very small man and finally an elderly man with a cane.

2). The guy with the corded dog who wanted to go in a bar that didn't allow pets, so he put his dog on his head as a wig and acted like a Jamaican.

3). Dating the roommates -- it has been on before, but it is still funny.

4). The clown suit -- HILARIOUS!! The guy is inside a clown suit (upright) that is actually made to look like he's walking on his hands. Anyway, he orders a beer and proceeds to drink it -- from the butt area of the clown suit. Then he asks the bartender, "Can I have one of those hot dogs?" and the bartender answers, "I don't think so".

Then there is a new product Sierra-something with some great commercials.

1). Hot day and a guy walking his dog. Dog hikes his leg on a fire hydrant and the guy tells him to go ahead...the dog kicks the spout off the hydrant and soaks them both with water. Another guy off to the side says that he has to get a dog like that.

2). One with monkeys (forgive me, I don't know what kind) where one gets the other to catapault him/her over the hill into the refreshing water from a very hot, dry side.


Visa:

1). Variation on their previous commercial with the twins...she says, "so you're playing in the superbowl and you're watching the superbowl. Just an observation". Very funny.


Pepsi Twist:

1). Osbournes -- VERY funny!


Monster.com

1). Didn't like this one -- a semi truck without a driver does a lot of damage.

Trident

1). 4 out of 5 dentists say...what happened to the 5th one...some animal crawls up the 5th ones' trousers and he yells, "NOOOOOOOO!"

Fedex:

1). Take off of Tom Hanks in Castaway. He returns the package and turns out there is a GPS, fishing pole, some seeds and other stuff in the box :)

Dodge:

1). Passenger in the Ram is choking and the driver speeds up really fast and then stops suddenly -- the passenger spits out what he is choking on -- ALLLLLL over the window. Disgusting.

What else? I know I've missed a ton!

Sierra Mist is just Pepsi's answer to Sprite/7-Up if I am not mistaken. Its been around quite a while actually (several years at least).

Red Team = Tampa
White = Oakland

Tampa has never been to the Superbowl before.

The coach for Tampa was the head coach for Oakland last year.

Spy, if you ever go to Taco Bell or Pizza Hut or KFC (owned by pepsi) thats the choice you get for non-caffine drinks (and with kids thats what we get them ;) )

I think Shania was lip syncing....

Gwen (No Doubt) is definitly not, although the band might not be playing live.

Shania was DEFINITELY lip-synching. When she went into the crowd, she wasn't even mouthing the words properly as she tried to get up the steps. All that jumping around and she didn't sound a bit out of breath or off tempo. I thought Gwen and Sting made her look pretty sorry. They did a great job and actually sang.

Ryn! Don't talk to me about being old...I am listenting to these folks tell me that they are going to tear down this stadium. I was there when it was brand spanking new...we had to drive out to the stadium on a dirt road because they hadn't even paved it yet....and now they are gonna tear it down! MAN! do I ever feel old!
