The Teleflora ad was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better than the GoDaddy commercial.

Okay, we disagree on this one. I thought it was hilarious, but that's probably because I recently watched my 10 year old niece get her baby sister to crawl by putting her toys just out of reach and then moving them farther back.

I'll give the overall first half ad quality award to Doritos. Both of their commercials made me laugh. Coke, not so much.

Budweiser, where art thou? Long gone are the days when Budweiser commercials were the big event.

Best ad I've seen yet: a local Charter cable ad. This guy was in his yard, talking on his cell phone. Sam Bradford was walking his dog. Charter Cable van pulled up across the street. Guy on the phone says, "I gotta get a picture of this." He then asks Bradford to move a bit and takes a picture of the van across the street. Closing comment: "Yeah, I got it. I think Sam Bradford may be in the picture, though." =))

Disagree.
M&M's wins.
The 1st Dorts was good, but the second one was lame.
Teleflora and David Beckham tied.
Coke trails.
Bud is in last place. Bring back the frogs!!

Chevy Apocalypse had potential, especially if they followed it with another one. LOVE the Twinkie bit.
BY THE WAY, Hostess brands filed for bankruptcy protection earlier this year.

I agree. I thought the Twinkies made the ad. that was just brilliant. Wonder how much Chevy got from Hostess for product placement?

Just got home from that disaster. Haven't seen any of the ads yet.

I can review Bud Light Platinum. I had ONE at the Football signing event. Free beer is a good time to try it. It tastes like Bud Light, as in it has no taste. :p But it does have 6% alcohol instead of the usual 3.2 or whatever it is. My second beer was a Blue Moon, as was my third.

I wonder if it's Bud Ice re-packaged. Ozzie?

I loved the Madonna halftime show! Not only did she have an entourage bring her in to the stadium a la Cleopatra, she also had a marching band, cheerleaders with pom-poms, a gospel choir, and she exited in a fireball. Also, Cee Lo Green was singing with her. Madonna's message to Lady Gaga and the other wannabes: "I've still got it and you don't."

I loved it!

I'm a fan of Madonna. She was Lady Gaga before Lady Gaga was Lady Gaga.
