Super Bowl commercials are often as popular as the game itself.
So I decided to rank my top 10 commercials from this year’s game.
10 - The monkey CareerBuilder ad. These ads featuring corporate monkeys have always made me laugh. Now I know that monkeys really cannot park cars. That guy needs a new job.
9 - The Bud Light dog sitting ad. I thought this ad where a house-sitter had a big party with perfectly trained dogs serving his guests quite funny. It was cute, but while others had this ad at the top of their lists I think it is top 10, not top 5.
8 - Everyone wants someone to have their back. In the Bridgestone Beaver commercial that beaver remembered that the driver was able to stop for him. So when the bridge was about to break the beaver paid it forward by having a tree fall right in front of the driver. That is one awesome beaver.
7 - It is no secret that I am not a Danica Patrick fan. So typically I try to block out the Go Daddy commercials. But when they introduced funny-woman Joan Rivers as the newest Go Daddy girl I had to laugh. I am a huge fan of anyone who can make fun of themselves.
6 - “Dear Kim, your rack is unreal.” What else would you expect a young man to say when he speaks from his heart. In this ad for teleflora.com Faith Hill tells the young man to say what’s in his heart after he asks for advice. When a mortified Hill asks the young man if he really sent that he simply replied “my heart told me to.”
5 - Doritos often produces classic commercials. When a house-sitter forgets to feed the fish and water a friend’s plant he simply crushed some Doritos and put them in the water and pot. And more came back to life than just the plant and goldfish.
4 - Who hasn’t participating in a group singing of Elton John’s “Tiny Dancer.” When a rough man walked into a wild west bar he was ready to kill for a Budweiser. But a late delivery gets the man his drink and he leads the entire saloon in song.
3 - It is no surprise that men and women think differently. The Pepsi first date thoughts ad showed how women think about the future of a first date and men, well, think about one thing. That is until they are distracted by a second thing to think about.
2 - The E-trade baby debuted during a Super Bowl commercial break and has not disappointed since. Watching the baby be fitted for a suit, then talk about how he was losing his tailor was priceless. I almost died when he put his hand on the tailor’s mouth, asking him not to say a word.
1 - This ad wins because it probably made most people lose their appetite. Near the beginning of the broadcast a co-worker gets uncomfortably close to another guy asking him if he was going to finish his Doritos. When the man said they were already gone in a move no one expected the coworker said “you left the best part.” Then in a stomach turning moment the coworker grabs the man’s hand and sucks the Doritos dust from his finger. Later when another man wiped his hands on his pants the co-worker grabbed his pants and sniffs them. It made “mmm Cheese,” really gross.
There were many other commercials that were pretty funny I am just happy the Steelers sad performance was interrupted by some funny television spots.
