The Audi commercial was good.

I didnt like the commercial but the car looked really nice for a Kia!

[underdog]

I'm stuck with stupid Canadian commercials, and they're not even new. They're just repeats of old ones.

[KnoxHarrington]

Pretty much fail across the board so far.

[IamFogHat]

The Star Wars one was kind of cute.

[KnoxHarrington]

It was kind of nice seeing Roseanne get knocked the fuck out in the Snickers ad.

[SKANE]

Do we really need facebook updates in cars now?

[IamFogHat]

Do we really need facebook updates in cars now?

Seems perfectly safe to me.

[HBox]

Seems perfectly safe to me.

And I can't think of anything more romantic than a robotic car voice telling me that a first date was a success.

[HBox]

Did....... did I just see a back alley dick attachment Super Bowl commercial?

[Jayw]

the funniest commerical before halftime was the career builder for me. With the apes driving the car.

TBH these commercials are all pretty wack this year. thor trailer was cool. doritos grandpa one was alright.

[sailor]

The Star Wars one was kind of cute.

Agreed.

Oh, I meant the darth vader kid. The ozzy one was ok too.

[Snacks]

This may be the 1st year that there isnt 1 good, memorable commercial?!

[SKANE]

Saying " Imported from Detroit " doesn't seem to say good things about Detroit. Just saying.

[Snacks]

The NFL fans commercial with all the old tv shows was the on ly really good commercial so far!

[HBox]

OK. Pepsi Max wins the night.

[sailor]

OK. Pepsi Max wins the night.

I liked the last one and the guy being abused by his wife.

[Snacks]

OK. Pepsi Max wins the night.

That was a good one with the girl thinking what girls think and the guy thinking what all guys think! Very real!

[sailor]

Ha, I used to work with the guy in that bridgestone commercial.

[underdog]

I liked the last one and the guy being abused by his wife.

I'm not watching these commercials, but now I'm sure we're going to have to listen to Ron, Jim & Anthony bitch about guys being emasculated on television tomorrow for humor.

[StanUpshaw]

Fuckin sheeple.

She kicked him, slammed his face into a pie, shoved a bar of soap in his mouth and tried hurling a can of pepsi at his head. Not offensive at all, but if it was reversed there'd surely be an uproar.

But jim and ron bitch all the time that the american man is made to look like a wuss. Jim and anthony really like to act like white men have it real hard.

I must have missed where everyone was saying they were going to run out and buy these products based on these commercials.

[Dan 'Hampton]

Only bearable commercials: NFL one with the sitcom clips and House commercial where he throws cain at kid ala mean Joe Greene

I liked the NFL ad with sitcoms, the House ad, and the Chrysler/Eminem ad.

[Furtherman]

Agreed. But, another fucking fast & furious movie??? Ugh.

"This just went from Mission Impossible to Mission Insanity."


This movie will make a gajillion dollars.

Commercials = smoke break.

I was close. 10 minutes into the show, Anthony and Jim start bitching about the black v white commercials.

[Snacks]

I would bitch more about the girl getting to hit and abuse her husband more then the black vs white issue.

Probably the biggest fail of the night was from online coupon service Groupon, who's having to state for the record that they do think that you should help people:

Chief Executive Andrew Mason said in a Monday blog post that the company is tweaking the end of the ads to draw attention to the philanthropic causes they were intended to support.

“Ads are traditionally about shameless self promotion, and we’ve always strived to have a more honest and respectful conversation with our customers,” Mason wrote. “We would never have run these ads if we thought they trivialized the causes — even if we didn’t take them as seriously as we do, what type of company would go out of their way to be so antagonistic?”

The spots, which marked the first time Groupon ran television ads, were meant to be parodies of television public service announcements, Mason explained on an earlier blog post published on Sunday. The Chicago-based startup had hoped to send up self-important, celebrity-narrated PSAs while also encouraging consumers to donate to charitable organizations.

Groupon had set up a Web site, SaveTheMoney.org, that encouraged visitors to donate to causes featured in the commercials: Rainforest Action Network, buildOn, Greenpeace and the Tibet Fund. The company is contributing matching donations of up to $100,000 for all of the organizations but Greenpeace, where donations will be matched by up to $100,000 in Groupon credit.

The problem was that while the ad’s tagline was “save the money,” neither the URL for the donations site nor the names of the philanthropies appeared in the commercials, making the spots seem glib at best and tasteless at worst. The Tibet ad featuring actor Timothy Hutton generated a backlash on social media sites such as Twitter, with users taking offense at what appeared to be Groupon making light of Tibet’s human rights crisis to peddle coupons.

“The people of Tibet are in trouble,” Hutton said in the ad. “Their very culture is in jeopardy. But they still whip up an amazing fish curry.”

Hutton went on to describe a 50 percent discount he received at a Himalayan restaurant in Chicago. Another spot featuring actress and model Elizabeth Hurley bemoaned the destruction of rainforests before touting a discounted Brazilian wax.

I think I got what they were going for at the time, I just thought they were stupid.

I thought it was fucking hilarious, especially how all the self-righteous, douchebag groupon users are pissed today. THEY'RE MAKING FUN OF YOU, STUPID. I love it.

[Furtherman]

Outtakes from the VW ad.... even funnier.
