The Return of the Commercials

42 is the answer to the Ultimate Question
This year, that question was: “When will the Super Bowl commercials be good again?”
Remarkably absent were the riské commercials so prevalent in years past- which was good. So sit back and relax as I give you the Top 10 Commercials of Super Bowl 42.
10. Bud Light - Fly
A little lame, but still is half way decent overall
9. Bud Light - Fire
A little bit stronger of a showing, but not the best Bud commercial of the night- and no where close to beating out the Frogs
8. Sobe - Thriller
Not especially funny, but the one lizard eating the other is classic. Not as good as Andy Serkis’ version (or this one), but it still made it to #8
7. Budweiser - Rocky, Equine version
Strongest Bud showing of the night, but still a little flat (plenty of pun intended)
6. ETrade - Clown
The baby is completely correct in stating that the clown is in fact creepy.
5. Wall E
Who would have thought that a commercial with Toy Story characters would still be mildly entertaining? This would have been #1 had this dysfunctional robot admitted at the end that he was, in fact, a Mac
4. Bridgestone - Richard Simmons
Tempting to not steer away from the 3rd obstacle…
3. FedEx
I literally lolled when I saw this one. Spell checker not kicking in when I say “lolled” is a bonus.
2. Bridgestone - Screaming match
Pretty good. The bug makes the video.
1. ETrade - Puking baby
What’s not to like? Investment returns.. a cute baby with an adult voice (Stewie minus the accent), and random baby vomit.
Oh come on you didn’t like Stewie vs Wonder Dog??
HT’s last blog post.. The Best Ever!
Funny in premise, but not execution… Seriously though, that was on my list until I realized I had 11

Ok so the only one I didn’t really think was all that funny was the Budweiser Fly one…It would have been even funnier had the actually squashed Richard Simmons..and lastly I see baby puke everyday….They were my favorite
Happy Mama’s last blog post.. How True
Some were mildly funny… I personally thought the Bridgestone commercials were the best.
Thanks for sharing. ^_^

what?!. come on the top five commercial where charles barkley kept calling dwayne wade after putting him in the top five.
and i agree with Zepuka. both of those were awesome.
and the careerbuilder where the light bug was singing and the spider ate him. hahaha
Haha, I agree with shannarie too, that was a pretty good one!
