Hi guys, how were the Superbowl tv commercials this year?
Did Godaddy do another one?
(Being in Australia we don't get to see them.)

IMO, it was a pretty lackluster year for commercials. None of them really floored me, made me laugh or anything. Anheuser Busch had a cute one with a dog--the dog was a mutt and he was down on himself because he wanted to ride on the cart pulled by the clydesdales like the dalmatian. He then gets splashed by a passing car and looks in the glass and he's got (mud) spots! He catches up to the parade and jumps on the cart. I'm a sucker for dogs in general (and dalmatians in particular) but everyone I was watching the game with thought this was one of the better ones. Bud Light had a commercial with Jay-Z playing a computer football game against former Dolphins coach Don Shula that was pretty cool but nothing really incredible. Honestly, I don't remember any of the rest which should tell you all you need to know about them.

To answer your other question, GoDaddy had a spot but it was pretty ho-hum. Maybe the funniest commercial was the Nationwide Insurance commercial with Kevin "K-Fed" Federline. They showed the former Mr. Brittney Spears rapping, with all the the typical scenes of rap excess--bling, women, etc. All of the sudden some one yells "Federline" and it cuts a shot of K-Fed working in some fast food restaurant. Probably a good career move for Federline to poke some fun at himself....

Thanks, I guess they are all on Youtube by now. I'll go and see what I can find.

I know in the last couple of years there were some ad industry sites that had all of them compiled into one central location. Of course by the time I found the links you could have watched the ones worth watching on YouTube. Make sure to check out the dog commercial I was telling you about--that's definitely the best of the bunch this year IMO
