Super Bowl XLII was yesterday where the New York Giants just barely squeezed out a win over the undefeated New England Patriots. Like every year there is a lot of focus on the commercials that air since companies are paying millions for a mere 30 second spot.
As you would expect all of the videos have been put up on YouTube, and they are currently accepting votes for what viewers believe is the best Super Bowl commercial. The winning commercial will be displayed on YouTube’s homepage on February 12th for the entire world to see!
We thought that it would be fun to put together our very own top 10 Super Bowl commercials from 2008. We’ve assembled a “YouTube viewer” below to make it easy to switch between the videos, but it only works if you have JavaScript enabled. In no particular order here are our top 10 funniest Super Bowl ads:
| E*TRADE Baby (Trading) | E*TRADE Baby (Clown) |
| AMP Energy Drink | Bud Light (Flying) |
| Bud Light (Love) | Bud Light (Cheese) |
| Career Builder | FedEx |
| Pepsi (Nodding) | Pepsi (Magnetic Attraction) |
Wow, that’s like….the worst of the ads, IMO.
The only ones I agree with are all the Bud Lite ones. Those were all good.
The rest are crap…..
The one with the mouse (doritos, I think) was one of the best.
The FedEx one was good (the only one that made me laugh). The only other one I liked was the Bud Light (Cheese).
I liked the pepsi one, and the baby ones especially.
The e*trade clown one was amusing – only because of the “creepiness” comment. The Tide talking stain was probably the funniest of all of them. Pepsi nodding – not funny at all. Maybe 10 years ago it would have been funny. And why does everyone think the clydesdale/dalmation rocky spot was so good? Talk about cliche! The bud lite spots listed…the flying one was amusing. The others…not so much.
I cant even see youtube video given the your flash ad’s cover up the screen (including part of the Youtube window). I understand this blog is a income-source, but I think you should still think about your aesthetics if you want to keep your audience (Dont shower every inch with ad’s!)
Thanks, I am going to watch some of these
There must have been some type of glitch with the ads when you were viewing the site. We just checked all of the different browsers and there should have been absolutely nothing covering the video. We do not use floating or pop-up ads which would interfere with your viewing experience.
I guess we see things differently then. The mouse one was for the Doritos commercial, but I didn’t think it was that great.
The baby ones were my favorite as well.
Sounds like a serious issue there. I assume you don’t have spyware on your computer?
