Love this commercial from H & R Block. Hang in for the last line at the end – it made me and Wendy laugh out loud.

Sure, the Steelers beat the Cardinals on the field. But which commercial was the best?

#5: Bridgestone. Having Mrs. Potato Head’s lips come off was funny.
#4: CareerBuilder.com. It was like moss. It grew on me.
#3: Coke Zero. The remake of the Mean Joe Greene commercial being interrupted by the Coke Zero guys was a nice, unexpected twist.
#2: Doritos. The Crystal Ball commercial made me laugh out loud.
#1: Miller High Life. As much as I hate to award this to a beer company, you’ve got to love the one-second commercial by a company “in these tough economic times.” (Geez, can you tell I’ve heard that phrase a million times?)

These are the commercials that were shown during the second half of the Super Bowl (and yes, I’m still amazed at that 100 yard interception return for a touchdown at the end of the first half).

Okay, here we go.

8:26:01 – Miller High Life – Their much promised 1 second commercial. I deem it the winner for the creativity.

———-

8:36 – Coke – STUPID!
8:36 – Bridgestone – not much better
8:37 – Denny’s – Great commercial, especially the creative way they poked fun at IHOP.
8:38 – Monster.com – Great one! Wouldn’t you hate to be the guy working on the wrong side of the wall??

———-

8:40 – Budweiser (Coming to America) – I think they’ve run this into the ground
8:41 – Race to Witch Mountain trailer – This one looks good

———-

8:57 – Transformers trailer – this will be a good movie
8:57 – CareerBuilder.com – Great, great commercial. In the top 5 so far!

———-

9:00 – Coca Cola – Very creative
9:01 – Frosted Flakes – nice gesture on Kellog’s part

———-

9:05 – NFL.com SuperAd – Usama never wanted to serve snow cones! He wanted to be on the field – and now he is.
9:07 – Jack in the Box – Oh, the drama! Will Jack survive? Will he end world terrorism? Oh, wait, this isn’t Jack Bauer. I couldn’t care less about a fast food chain named after Jack.

———-

Just local commercials during this break, and they weren’t even worth commenting on.

———-

9:17 – Coke Zero – Troy and the Coke Zero guys doing their version of the Mean Joe Greene Coca Cola commercial from way back in the day! This one was AWESOME!!!
9:18 – Cash4Gold – Ed McMahon needed to sell his gold. ‘Nuff said.

———-

9:22 – Vizio – They really are a dood TV.
9:22 – Taco Bell – Yeah, that would freak most girls out.
9:23 – GE – The Wizard of Oz Scarecrow? Really? Oh, my.

———-

9:26 – Hulu – Hmmm. Methinks they really DO want to turn our brains to mush. Anyone else feeling that, too?

———-

9:32 – GE – Okay, the wind commercial was funny.
9:32 – Pepsi – McGruber, well, PepSuber, was pretty funny.

———-

9:52 – Bud Lime – I’m tired of seeing “pretty” people acting cool cuz they’re holding a drink that smells like pee.
9:54 – GoDaddy – let it go, guys.
