Every February, the Superbowl comes around. And during every superbowl, millions of people love watching the commercials. Since ad time sells at $100,000 a second, snack, beer and car companies break out their wittiest commercials to try and take the cake for the ultimate prize of "best superbowl commercial". In my opinion, commercials during this year's game overall, were a bust. Many were tired ads, or just movie trailers. Who wants to see movie trailers during the superbowl? No one. People want funny. I'll give you my 3 favorite... my least favorites aren't even worth mentioning.
The Best.
1. E-Trade Babies
Although most superbowl commercial reviews found these ads tired and repetitive, I still found myself rolling about with laughter. A tiny baby putting his finger to the lips of an old Italian man, saying, "don't speak" is quite humorous, and also having the baby and a sneezing cat named Peppers together would also be a winner. These commercials are cute, witty, and appeal to all audiences. Well done E-trade.

2. Camero Commercial
This classic car commercial with a twist, consisted of two men's voices dictating what should happen in the commercial, while whatever they said appeared on the screen. They changed the person driving from a man, to a woman, to a blonde, to a red-head, then were in the desert, then were in the city, then dodging hay-bales. The banter going on between the two narrators and the ever changing scene on the screen made for a very entertaining commercial. The concept was dull, but the spin off was very original.
3. Pepsi-Max
This commercial, started off with a shot of two people on a date. First, you hear a narration of the woman's thoughts, consisting of questions like, "I wonder if he wants kids? Will he go bald? What's his mother like?" etc, but then we get a narration of the guys thoughts and his is just a constant repeat of "I want to sleep with her" until a pepsi max is set down on the table, then he switches to repeating, "I want a pepsi max". It was witty, and humorous to watch with both boys and girls. It looked like a low budget commercial, but it was excecuted well.
For you three, nice job. But every other company out there, step it up. That was the Superbowl, not an episode of Golden Girls. I'm expecting alot better next time. I wonder who will take the cake next year?
