SuperBowl XLIV Reflections & Favorite Ads

I wasn’t too impressed with the SuperBowl this year. While it was a clean game with only one interception (if I recall correctly, and it was the big one), it just didn’t get me. I’m not big on football anyway, but this didn’t blow me away. I think what ruined it even more for me was the non-football factor — the commercials did not deliver this year. Probably because we had it good last year?

Anyway, sad to see Manning lose, although I’m happy the Saints and Reggie Bush did win the big one. Good for them. From the beginning it became obvious it will be a game of one error, as in whoever makes the first mistake will suffer the consequence. And that’s how it played out, ultimately.

While E-Trade struck again with the “milka-what?!” baby commercial, my favorite two spots were actuallyt he Leno/Letterman/Oprah ad for The Late Show and the Google ad. Here are the links for your viewing pleasure on YouTube (while they’re still up!):

  First of all, it’s good to see actual content on the blog again instead of random Twitter updates. Welcome back, Eddie!

  I loved the Letterman/Oprah/Leno ad. The only thing that could have made it better was Conan, but I read somewhere that he didn’t think the time was right. And I agree that the game was “okay” at best.

  Glad you’re enjoying the posts! Conan in the spot would have made this ad even more amazing!!!
