Beaver maulings are not a laughing matter.

Why should this thread be deleted? It was about the ads. There have been SB ad threads in years past. The talk in the thread also stayed on the ads.

I made an official superbowl halftime thread. It was awesome.

It's gone. Oh well...figures.

Well, if it makes you happy another merge just happened because some dork decided to make an even dorkier thread about Danica Patrick's dorky GoDaddy "banned" commercial.

I cannot post in words my glee that the cheatriots got beat. it is like all is right in the universe and karma showed it's face. Great game, I can hardly speak.

Everything is right with the world once again, don't muck with karma - I'm talking to you pats fans. You got what you deserved.

The best commercial wasn't even a commercial. It was the Terminator coming out and kicking that Fox Robot's ass.

One of the worst years for super commercials by far.

Was anyone else slightly confused by either Sales Genie's folksy racism or Coke's call to unity?

:thumbsup:

All in all, a bad year for SB ads.

The Bud Light "Dogs Trains Horse" ad was great, as were the two e-Trade ads.

As someone who has not seen "The Godfather" can someone please explain the usage in the Audi ad?

Edit: The Republicans/Democrats Coke ad was great too.

If we're talking advertisements then everybody here was crying/laughing on terminator whooping up on fox football guy.

Doesn't really matter. The patriots lost, all is correct with the world.

In the Godfather, a horse's head is put in a man's bed as he sleeps as a warning.
