So we really didn’t care much about the actual football game this year, but most of the family gathered at my brother-in-law’s home to watch it anyway. I think the consensus for most of us was that we would have rather seen San Francisco vs Baltimore. At any rate, the commercials were still entertaining for the most part, and some PG-rated ones stood out above the rest. I must explain that a big factor in rating these commercials was not only my personal taste, but also the response from the family as they watched. So without further ado:
Big thumbs down to GoDaddy, Kia, Toyota, and Fiat for pushing the limits of taste and decency.
Honorable Mention: M&Ms “Just My Shell”, Volkswagon Dog, Chevy: “New Grad,” and all the Doritos commercials were pretty good, but just not quite Top 5 worthy this year.
Some of the girls were talking about how dreamy John Stamos still is, and then everybody had a good laugh.
Still love the eTrade babies.
3. Careerbuilder.com: “Business Trip”
Monkeys always make for good viewing. The room was laughing pretty good with this one.
2. Acura: “Transactions” with Seinfeld
Lots of Seinfeld fans in the family. The extended version (this one) is funnier.
1. Honda: “CRV’s Day Out” with Matthew Broderick
This one is so well done it has got to be an instant classic and ranks right up there with many of the best Super Bowl commercials of all time. I’ve watched it multiple times, and it still cracks me up — kind of like the movie this is based on.
