Super Bowl Commercials Largely Disappoint, But Some Prove Ingenious/Hilarious.
There were more than 50 Super Bowl commercials this year, an astounding number.
But unlike the Super Bowl ads a few years back, only a few commercials really caught my eye this Super Bowl Sunday.
There was the Bridgestone "Carma" commercial, in which a beaver creates a barricade to keep a driver from driving into a flood after the driver swerved and missed the beaver on the road.
There was Budweiser's "Tiny Dancer" commercial, in which a simple Budweiser turns a prickly cowboy into a guffawing good ol' pal (seriously, anything that features "Tiny Dancer" and piano bars is OK with me).
Chevy's "Misunderstanding" featuring tons of old folks straining to hear the Tube was hilarious.
Snickers picked the best whiner for the part in Richard Lewis.
Volkswagen's "Beetle" and, particularly, the now-famous "The Force" were great commercials.
But my personal favorite, perhaps because of how much it related to employees in offices everywhere, was Bridgestone's "Reply All."
In the commercial, an associate tells a guy that he accidentally hit "reply all" in an e-mail exchange between the two. Upon the realization, the guy freaks out, storming across town to sabotage every co-worker's computer and cell phone in hopes they don't see the message.
Seriously, we've all been there. Well, just us unlucky few I suppose. Here at Bleacher Report, we're actually expected to hit "reply all" for our articles so it will go to all the editors.
I actually act like the guy below when I DON'T hit "reply all."
P.S. I wasn't going to reveal this, but I did indeed like the Kim Kardashian sexy Skechers commercial. And, yes, indeed I am a male in my 20s.
