I watch the Super Bowl every year for the game and the commercials. More so for the commercials, because I'm a sucker for an underdog, and face it...the underdog rarely wins. Last night was no exception.
My thoughts on the commercials...
- Batman! Woohoo! Dies from the love of hearing Christian Bale utter the line "Does it come in black?"
- What's with all the monkeys? Seriously, between Verizon and CareerBuilder.com, the night was noticably ape-like.
- Could someone tell me why Wolverine looked nothing like Hugh Jackman (I will give credit to the fact that Wolvie is supposed to be short and stocky and wearing yellow spandex), but looked even less like comic book Wolvie than he should have? Hello, short and stocky is one thing, but was the beginnings of a beer gut and lack of ass really required?
- AmeriQuest made me happiest all night. Hey, I even remembered the company! By far my favorite commercial was the one with the cat. I died. Screaming, rolling on the floor dying. The robbery one was funny too.
- Diet Pepsi had the surprise of the night (for me at least). All the women oogling the hot guy drinking the Diet Pepsi and following him around...cute. When Cindy Crawford pulled off her sunglasses...funny. When Carson Kressley did a big gaping turn...priceless.
- This Brad Pitt commercial everyone was talking about...uh, when did it air? Just because it was apparently during one of the regional/local sections of broadcasting. We totally didn't get it.
- From a NASCAR fan perspective, while I appreciate the idea of having a 1 against 42 commercial (really, I like the cleverness), it's better when the 42 are NASCAR drivers and not random pirates/knights. And, um....I'm sorry, but Junior on the horse makes me giggle, and Jeffy as a pirate made me confused. Those scenarios...why? Why a knight in battle and a swashbuckiling hero fighting pirates? On the other hand, the race track as roller coaster worked well.

And on another NASCAR note, I enjoyed seeing the hole in one shootout for charity in the hours before the big game. Especially considering that the NASCAR boys squashed the MLB and NFL guys. Heh. Take that meatheads! *giggle* Even better from the NASCAR front...Dale Jarrett and Ellyut hit land, while Rusty went in the water. Rusty was the first out. DJ is also a dang good golfer. I'd watch golf for him (I need a nice nap). Glad he won. But most disturbing was that DJ hit the green the most, but the closest shot all day, even amongst those demonstrating and goofing off, came from Darryl Waltrip. And he didn't even know what iron he was using (seriously though, he was using a driver...which made me laugh, just from the race car irony).
