There's also this at YouTube (new window) Which has a nice set up for picking commercials.

Mentat: Vader Kid wins.

Vader kid was second. The best was the Doritos "Grandpa?" one.

I was waiting to get this link. As I have mentioned, our network doesn't have any commercials, so I missed out on all the good ones.

I take that back, subby. Your link is bad and you should feel bad.

/Spike won't let adblock do it's thing, nor will their videos work for out-of-country folks like me
//so screw off, Spike

No, I never want to watch the commercials. Why would I?

Darth Vader and teleflora were the only good commercials. This was a really bad year for the SB ad people.

Alphax: No, I never want to watch the commercials. Why would I?

Because while they are ads, they tend to be funny and at least attempt to be imaginative. It's like classic SNL skits, but they only last for 30 seconds so they don't overstay their welcome.

Not everything has to be high art, after all. Sometimes, it's OK to laugh at a woman catching a can of soda to the side of her head.

kukukupo: Darth Vader and teleflora were the only good commercials. This was a really bad year for the SB ad people.

I don't know. Having Richard Lewis being the whiny transformation of a lumberjack had me laughing pretty good. And I have to say, I really enjoyed Rosanne getting hit by a huge log. Fake or not, that was just plain satisfying.

On the other hand, the Doritos one with the guy licking Dorito residue off someone's finger & then tearing off someone else's pants to smell them was, to put it mildly, disturbing.

The Bridgestone "Carma" commercial was pretty good too.

Snickers really satisfies.

Who the fark approved that test baby commercial? I mean I laughed, but this will not go over well with the rest of society.

The only ones I laughed at were the 2 doritos one. Mostly the first with the guy licking the fingers.. though they ruined it by trying to go back for a second laugh with the pants.

Just got through the "Imported from Detroit" video on the YouTube channel posted by WhyteRaven74, and as a native Michigander, son and grandson to life long autoworkers, and longtime fan of Detroit, I liked it a lot.

It wasn't funny, and it was sappy in it's own way. But I liked it. I think it might be my favorite so far.

MagSeven: Who the fark approved that test baby commercial? I mean I laughed, but this will not go over well with the rest of society.

That was kind of freaky. Test Baby or not, that thing blinked and looked dismayed. It had sentience, for farks sake.

/laughed anyway

rapey rapey

Kinda a boring game even though it was close. Don't know why, but was just blah.

rape

Similarly, I LOL'd at the end of the Pepsi Max commercial with the guy who was being forced by his wife to diet, but the moment it aired, the first thought that went through my head was that there were gonna be complaints and protests about it the next morning for being:

1) Racist for showing a black guy being enticed by the white wimmins
2) Sexist for showing violence against women (albeit it was another woman who threw the can at her, not a man)

Best part of the night, honestly. I watched it with 3 other Detroit expatriates, and we all had some dust in our eyes.

Of course, all the non-Michiganders in the room were wondering what the hell the big deal was, which made me wonder how much impact that actually had on the rest of the country.

Not a Michigander but I liked it too (although I have lived in Ann Arbor for a little so the sentiment may have rubbed off from once hanging out with people there). Good to see Eminem pay tribute to support his troubled hometown. And is it just me or was he in several commercials this year?

All of this.

the_vegetarian_cannibal: Good to see Eminem pay tribute to support his troubled hometown.

He, along side Kid Rock, seem to really care about Detroit and actually continue to live there, from what I understand (though I am sure only part of year, of course). Tim Allen too, if you give a rat's ass about him and I wouldn't blame you if you didn't, but he's a decent enough guy and I heard rumor that he didn't charge for his voice-over work for the "Pure Michigan" tourism campaign.

Kristen Bell and Selma Blair have done some charity work there, raising money for a homeless shelter in Detroit. And while Jeff Daniels isn't a Detroit native (spent most of his childhood in Northern Michigan) he does quite a bit of stuff for Michigan from advertising to making movies there.

Michigan is one of those places you think you will be glad to leave, but are surprised how much you miss it once you're gone.

I thought the best buy ozzy/bieber ad was hysterical. Best part was a bearded bieber.

/whatever a beiber is

anybody else just wanna beat the crap out of eminem?

None. The rest of the US considers Michigan to be a third world country, and Detroit its Mogadishu. "Imported from Detroit" just makes sense.

skipjack: /whatever a beiber is

Aren't they those animals known for chomping trees and building dams?

/quick, someone shoop "Justin Beaver!"

The best Super Bowl commercial of all time will always be the magic fridge bud light one. I was laughing so hard I think I blacked out.

I know you be trollin', but screw you very much buddy.

Shadowknight: I know you be trollin', but screw you very much buddy.

I watched some of the original Taking of Pelham One Two Three the other day. And there was a Detroit joke in that movie from the late 70's.

Detroit's been a joke for going on 30 years!

I LOL'd pretty well at the Timothy Hutton Groupon ad. I can't be the only one...

/so crass...
/so funny...

Hoban Washburne: Am I the only one who liked the different tv show characters wearing their respective area's NFL gear?

I really liked that one too. It took me a moment to figure out why ALF was a Carolina fan when the show took place in California.

unicron702: The best Super Bowl commercial of all time will always be the magic fridge bud light one. I was laughing so hard I think I blacked out.

This! No Bud commercial since then has even compared to that.

I really enjoyed the House parody of the Mean Joe Greene commercial.

While I wouldn't mind a renaissance in Detroit autos, the inability to let go of the glory days, as witnessed by the throwback styling in the current sedan and wagon lineup, leaves me with the feeling that it's just not in the cards.

Can we retire the e-trade babies? Time for a re-branding*

Sorry, I only watch the Superbowl for the football.

No mention of the Living Social Lumberjack? Fail.

As a non-Michiganer, I think Chrysler needs to stop making commercials that appeal to everyone's emotions and instead starts making cars that are worth a damn. That's great that they got Eminem and made this powerful tribute to Detroit and then ran the whole thing in a Superbowl spot. That really speaks to some people. It spoke to me too, and told me that they are still out of ideas and energy, but won't someone please buy our cars in honor of the way things used to be.

NeoCortex42: I really enjoyed the House parody of the Mean Joe Greene commercial.

Seconded. Was my favorite of the night. It might not count since it was a Fox promo, but I had a good chuckle.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. Funny how the shiatty Look Who's Talking movies catch so much flak, but people fine those stupid ETrade commercials funny.
