Superbowl Commercials? Best? Funniest? Worst? Most Controversial?

Best? Funniest? Worst? Most Controversial?

Best Commercial:

Budweiser Welcome Home

Funniest:
Audi’s Doberhuahua? Doritos Time Machine?

Most Controversial:
Coke - America the Beautiful - Diversity Edition.

If you worship at the altar of the Diversity Machine you will love that commercial. If you don't, you are a racist. Get ready to be called a racist (again) if you don't subscribe to the happy crunchy diversity dictat where tolerance of thought is not tolerated.

Worst:
Sorry Bud Light

Takeaway: I want that Jaguar

If you know the back story, the Cheerios commercial was pretty good.

I like Dylan's commercial.

What is the back story? I liked "and a puppy"

I was impressed Dylan could be coherent.

They ran that family (interracial) back in the spring and got a bunch of racist (true racist, not what you mentioned) hate mail and you tube comments..

this was a nice F-you to those people.

I think we are at the point where if people are not used to gay or interracial relationships and families then they have a huge problem! Do not feel the need to shine the light on it any longer just to try to enlighten the ignorant!

That being said...the puppies and ponies cutesy ootsey thing...old and tired! I really found no redeeming commercials! My biggest quandry was....WTF did Cumberland Farms run a $4,000,000 ad for their coffee.....and it was the same ad they have been running for months???? What a waste of money!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Call me what you want, but I didn't like the Coke commercial. Now to put a little extra twist to that equation, my wife is from a southeast asian country. Still carries a heavy accent. She found it a little offensive and over the top for Coke to be so "political" in their ad. Does that make her a racist? Perhaps she's just "old school" and feels that if you come to this country, you learn the english language and assimilate to the culture. I happen to agree with her.

Too Many commercials
ruined it...for me...
and not just the superbowl
all TV in General !!!!

So, we have decided to END charter TV come spring
we "might" do netflix as a replacement
I personally am sick of the hollywood "fashion show"
of promoting vampirism and EVIL , Zombies,
plus
all the shows have gone way to graphic
in the Morgue Autopsy detective series

i can always see CNN online for news and weather

there was a cheesy commercial for a computer company of some sort with a guy narrating what seemed like a locally produced spot that seemed really out of place and 30 years out of date...that was weird, the little Cheerios girl "and a puppy" was brilliant and adorable...loved the Radio Shack ad...had to be the best in terms of doing what a commercial should do....Seinfeld looked 80 years old and George looked the same as he did in the show...I don't know anyone with a Maserati...that one was very odd too

Whalley Computer Assoc - I've heard of them twice in 17 years of IT and I don't think I've ever run into one though.

Pretty sure that was a local ad spot, not national

I'm a sucker for the dog and horses type of commercials. Never saw a Clydesdale commercial I didn't like.
