I swear that exact commercial was done for something in the last five years. Down to the exact same cheetah footage.

Anyone know what I'm thinking of?

you're not alone. i said the same thing, but have no clue what it was for either.
 
Best part about sandcastle was when eisen called him that in the post game.

"He looks like an ugly deon", lulz.
 
What did the old guy in the Taco Bell commercial have tattoo'd on his back? I couldn't make out the word.
 
I questioned the sense of CK advertisers - just who are they trying to sell men's underwear to?

I particularly like the Budweiser commercial & also liked the goat commercial. Do goats like Doritos? I'll have to find a bag and see for myself. I also wonder if I can use Doritos in advertising. "Goat for Sale" with a Doritos bag.

Hmmm... I have one for sale that I want to get rid of - maybe I'll try that this week.

All the women who are watching? Same with Victoria Secret ads that run during normal sports broadcasts, they're selling to the women, and selling the idea to the men (getting it for their woman).
 
Jeep/USO ad...

The RAM/Harvey ad is well done but a lie. The American farmer as we know him is dead. Our food chain is industrialized by the likes of Monsanto and Big Farm.

The Paul Harvey audio is from a speech he gave in 1978 when the GOP was still the party of the "family farmer".
Three years later the Reagan administration told family farmers to "get big or get out"
 
BS.

What I don't like about the ad is that it encourages, though not blatantly so, teenage speeding. I mean, what would any teen do behind the wheel of an S7?

If you say it encourages speeding, then it also encourages forcing yourself onto women.

If you want to kiss her, then just go do it, don't give a damn what she or anyone else thinks!

Agree 100% with the BS. Do not agree with the second part, though I understand the logic.

If you say it encourages speeding, then it also encourages forcing yourself onto women.

If you want to kiss her, then just go do it, don't give a damn what she or anyone else thinks!

Which means I understand this logic as well. And understand it. BUT.

If either of you truly believe either of these things, then why stop at these commercials. Pretty much ever Super Bowl commercial encourages something dangerous. Which is essentially why I loathe the Audi-hate. Why cherry pick? Why not condemn Oreo for promoting violence or Hyundai for promoting dangerous behavior and disobeying the law?

Sorry for the rant. Not picking on you guys, but the general tendency to find the evil in everything.
