Super Bowl Ad First Half Analysis

 

Well, the ads this year weren't as wet yourself funny as I would have hoped.  But, Super Bowl Commercials are as much an American institution as porn. Bofa D's is here to provide analysis (whoa, I just realized that analysis has the word anal in it) of the ads. Overall grade for the first half: D-.    

 

Slow Start: The night started with a whimper. First there was a blockbuster ad that I swear I saw three years ago. You're spending a million dollars and you can't even come up with a new ad? Then we had some stupid ad with a guy in a suit who basically beats off all day but is rich because he uses some website to get sales leads. Ummm, yeah, right. I'll be logging right on to that. GRADE F.

 

Pass the Bud: The biggest shocker was the lameness of the Bud ads. You'd have to be drunk to think they were funny. The first one had a guy throw a rock at a guy's head. Lame. If he'd have thrown it at his nuts, it might have been funny. It didn't really get better after that. Here are some snippets from the ads, but not the whole things. GRADE F because they were not up to Bud's standards.

 

FedEx Ad: The next time I need a package delivered in space, I'll call FedEx. Given the odds that I'll never be in space, I want those 30 seconds of my life back. GRADE D. Compare that to last year's awesome ad, pictured below:

 

Two Dudes Kissing: The first funny ad of the night. Two dudes accidentally kiss. I don't know why, but I couldn't stop laughing. It was so funny they ... yanked it from the air? GRADE A.

 

Doritos Girl: The ad was getting on my nerves big time. Then I saw the end, where she needs cleanup on aisle 5...and I have to know: What exactly are they cleaning up? More gross than funny. GRADE D for the image it put in my head.

 

Garmin Rockz: This ad is so random it is awesome. Cheesy Godzilla/Powerrangers battle culminates in a shot of a metal band. GRADE B+.

 

Naked Dudes: This ad is clever in that it turns what is usually naked girls on cars into naked dudes. That's like, social commentary or irony or something. All of this wouldn't be funny if it wasn't for the old dude and the naked cowboy at the end. GRADE C-, a good grade on this lame night.

 

As you can see, the ads were dissapointing this year. I should have spent my time checking out leads for sales on that nifty website they advertised for. But, as a special bonus, here is the greatest Super Bowl Ad Ever!
