I had decided not to blog about it (I tweeted it instead), but I figured what the heck.

Yesterday was the SuperBowl, blah blah blah. Actually the game wasn’t bad, and I think that the Saints played well enough that they deserved the win. It’s good for New Orleans as well (and they sure reminded us of that throughout the entire broadcast).

But I found myself constantly distracted by twitter – watching people’s reactions to the commercials. Yes there were a FEW people talking about the game, but mostly people were commenting on the commercials. Unfortunately, this year we didn’t have that much to pick from.

Compared to previous years I say this year gets a D+ for quality and variety of commercials. There were a lot of themes this year: rodents, men in underwear, womanizing. But 90% of them weren’t even funny. (and did anyone notice that the F*cus on the F*mily advertisement was a bit toned down from the original plan?)

Only a few kept my attention and made me remember them (for various reasons), so here they are:

• KGB: It’s no longer just a secret police, now it’s a search engine (this one was memorable because of how dumb I think it is) – http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-super-bowl-commercials/09000d5d81645010/KGB-commercial
• Dante’s Inferno: A new game from Electronic Arts (looks like an amazing game although not available on PC) – http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-super-bowl-commercials/09000d5d81643a88/Dante-s-Inferno-commercial

And then two that are worth embedding for your viewing pleasure…

and of course…

For me, the Betty White ad wins the day. Why? Because, well, it’s Betty White! And if you don’t like it, she’ll cut you.

I hope you all had a wonderful SuperBowl Sunday!!
