OK, now, let's be clear -- when we say "our favorite Super Bowl ad", we're not counting movie trailers. 'Cause they don't count! They're just really short versions of the movies! With a narrator!
So, now that we've cut approximately 35% of the ads from last night... well, before we leave the subject entirely, raise your hands if you were pleasantly surprised by the G.I. Joe trailer. OK, that having been said -- kind of a lame bunch of ads for the most part. The theme of the evening, other than "Christ, GoDaddy.com is ridiculous" was barely sublimated work rage. That Bud Light ad where they threw the guy out the window. The one with the angry bosses. The one with the insulting flowers. So hats off to CareerBuilder.com, for capturing the despair of everyone's working days without actually being menacing to anyone other than, well, the person watching the ad. Meaning everyone.
That's right -- we found the cruelest ad to be the least cruel. (Sound of brains dribbling out of skull and being slurped up by Alec Baldwin.)
