Top 5 Super Bowl XLIV Ads

What kind of Bizarro World do we live in where the New Orleans Saints win the Super Bowl and mainstays like Pepsi and Miller Lite are conspicuously absent from the big game? Welcome to your television set for Super Bowl XLIV. In a lackluster year for Super Bowl ads, a few spots stood out from the pack.

1) Careerbuilder: Casual Friday
Way too casual Friday. Pants down the best ad of the game.

2) Snickers: You’re Not You When You’re Hungry
You can’t go wrong with Betty White. Throw in Abe Vigoda and I want to eat a candy bar.

3) Dove
There’s something about funny songs that make me want to use girls soap.

4) Coke: Hard Times (featuring the Simpsons)
Even Montgomery Burns can’t escape this economy. At least he’s got Coke.

5) Audi: Green Police
I like that they kept us guessing who the ad was for until the end.

Dishonorable Mention – Google
I don’t know why the pundits are gushing over this ad. Everyone over 4 years old knows how to use Google. You could have saved yourself $6 million by not running this spot.

Your feedback is welcome. Check out last year’s picks or let us know your thoughts on this year’s Super Bowl ads.
