They tried last year with the Black Eyed Peas and it stunk to high heaven. It always seemed off to me that in Dallas they didn't go for a slam dunk and a country music act.

Cat person huh?

 

It remains one of my favorites along with the naked M&Ms, the dream with Motley Crue, Eastwood/Detroit and the one with Seinfeld/Leno.

 

Over all though I thought the commercials were a dissapointment. Some good ones but nothing really memorable.

So, maybe this is the wrong thread, but where is Ford Motors in all this?  How do you not pitch yourself as the ONLY American Car Company to not take the money and still be in the game?  Imported from Detroit without taxpayer expense?  Hell, if your average audience is split 50/50 Left/Right, surely you can pick up market share for calling yourself out as solvent without help?

Or they could just tout the fact that they have had a relatively good run of vehicles for the past 15-20 years; they never had the crap stretches like GM (mid 90s through the mid 00s) and Chrysler (basically since the 70s) did.

One of the best ads of the night only aired in Canada, and had nothing to do with football.  Hank Hill would say "That ain't right." but he would also probably not watch a Giants/Pats game.

You are right... best commercial of the night, and America didn't see it.

They pulled the one ad they did have that touted this.

 


From their Unscripted series.  Real, unsuspecting customers.

I find that somewhat ironic in those commercials--you're trying to make fun of people standing in line for their phones, but you've essentially admitted that no one stands in line for your phone.

 

That given, I'm sorry, but I enjoyed The Darkness commercial.  BRING BACK FALSETTO!

 

Oh, and what the hell is that "rap" over that Cult song?  I saw an 80s metal cover band Friday night, and I swear, they did the same song at one point, except they played "Peace Sells" instead of the Cult song.

Anyone else find this annual tradition depressing as fuck?

 

Just me?

 

Okay.

One thing about the Seinfeld ad - I'm kind of surprised that Leno would feed the ad typecasting him that much.

 

Another, funnier, comic works for ages at getting something, gets promised it, and then, with almost no effort, Leno takes it away at the last moment.

 

Hasn't he done that enough?

All I could think was "Wait...It's halftime in America? We're halfway over as a country? How does this inspire me?"

Half way over is better than 90% over.

I think Eastwood/Chrysler won.  Yeah, he'll prob. vote for Ron Paul, but Obama is the only person running for President in 2012 who thinks it's important to save the American auto industry.  Maybe Eastwood is starting to come around.
