Re: TV: The League Of Anarchy Is A Bunch Of Justified Mad Men

Let's talk Super Bowl commercials!!!

First, the worst, which is Nationwide. They're advertising dead kids. Dead kids. DEAD KIDS. WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM NATIONWIDE!

Second, the awkward, which is Nissan. My dad pointed it out to me after the game that Harry Chapin (Cat's in the Cradle) died in a car accident. Maybe the writers were trying to tie into that? Doubt it, though.

Third, the Merica. Budweiser. People will probably only remember the puppy and Clydesdales, but the one going against beer snobs was awful. They literally admitted they mass produce a terrible product, but "You're a corn-fed American man who don't need no elitist yuppie to tells ya what to do. Drink Budweiser. Drink America."

Fourth, the favorite. This one was a little hard because there just weren't many good ones this year, but I'd have to go with the commercial of the dad and daughter growing up and he drops her off at the airport at the end. Don't even remember what it was for though, so I guess it failed.

Best:
Doritos Plane
Danny Trejo Brady Bunch
Mindy/Matt Damon (Damon MADE that commercial, though)

Honorable mention is the Walt White and Liam commercials.

The Dead Kid and Bud commercials.....whoever had those done should be fired by now. Horrible. Absolutely horrible.

Edit: the other "dad" commercial, I think it was Toyota, where it explained difference between father and dad...that kinda hit me.
 
Re: TV: The League Of Anarchy Is A Bunch Of Justified Mad Men

Ah, I forgot the Neeson and Cranston ones. I'll add those into the favorite pile, too.
 
Re: TV: The League Of Anarchy Is A Bunch Of Justified Mad Men

Somehow missed Budweiser's 'Murica ad. Something tells me I might be glad.

Oh well, I was never going to be a willing customer of theirs anyway, so it's not like I can complain in any more meaningful way than I am already. I even go so far as to avoid all A-B products, and even most of the InBev ones.
 
Re: TV: The League Of Anarchy Is A Bunch Of Justified Mad Men

I don't think it actually said anything about America in it, but it was so obvious it was catering to the redneck crowd who thinks anything darker than a Bud is Eurotrash beer.
 
Re: TV: The League Of Anarchy Is A Bunch Of Justified Mad Men

The AdMeter at USA Today has the Budweiser "Lost Dog" ad at #1, the #LikeAGirl ad #2 and the "Little Blue Pill" Fiat was #3. This marks the 13th time in 15 years Budweiser takes the top spot. Surprisingly, the Nationwide ad was not the worst...wasn't even in the bottom 10. The worst was the lame "Clash of Clans" knockoff. The Victoria's Secret, Kate Upton and Ted 2 ads came in near the bottom of the list.

Will Ferrell crushed his lip sync battle with Jimmy Fallon last night. Right up there with Emma Stone's performance.

That ad could have been the herpa-derp national anthem.

Just don't tell them Budweiser is owned by the Brazilians. ;)

Trick question. Any ad with Sarah Silverman in it automatically wins. Only possible competition would be Kristen Schaal.

DRECK:

All the Dad crap
Amy Purdy (HOWEVER: close your eyes and just listen to Ali, and it was the best ad of the night)
You'll find your lost dog under my tires
Dead kid (I would have run Lynch)

BORING / LAZY:

Boston Tea Party
Pigs Fly
Kate Upton's boobs
Parking garage stomp thing
Arm Wrestling
Powerless God
Screaming goat
Skanks in teddies
Give it a rest, Liam
Favre Carves
Tortoise and hare (a cheater not from New England)

OKAY

Sarah Silverman's empty trophy room
Lindsey Lohan
Kim Kardashian
Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatt Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamon
Happy internet (so sue me)
Pay with lovin (would have been good for a less evil product)
Pete Rose (another cheater not from New England)
Push It (only the first 5 seconds)

GOOD

This Land is Your Land (ignore the product)
The Dude
Danny Trejo
First draft
Snarky glue
All you can eat
Walter White
Herpa-derp beer anthem
Pac Man (again, ignore the product)


For the halftime show:

A+, The projection/puppet stuff
A-, Missy for giving White American a heart attack
C+, Katy Perry (I'd never heard her "music" before. It could be the soundtrack on a Time Share presentation).
Old, Lenny Kravitz

I thoroughly enjoyed Liam Neeson's spot for Clash of Clans.

Yeah I'd have to give it to that ad. Nothing against the other good ones (lost puppy, Doritos, etc.), but you kind of knew those were coming and would be decent. I was expecting to roll my eyes at another "Clash of the Clans" ad, but then they suddenly make it much better, and ending with the voices singing "Angry Neeson 42!" topped it off.

That ending really did make it happen didn't it?
 
Re: TV: The League Of Anarchy Is A Bunch Of Justified Mad Men

Anyone else see that the Red Ranger was arrested for murdering his roommate?
 
Re: TV: The League Of Anarchy Is A Bunch Of Justified Mad Men

Apparently it wasn't the red Ranger from way, way back when. Hardly worth mentioning then.

If only they had run that ad right after John Legend, at least we would know there is one NBC production person with a sense of humor.
