We watched it when they replayed it at 9PM.

I liked when they dumped about 20 tons of confetti on the cats during the "Kitty Halftime". Someone had visions of kitties going nuts playing with the confetti. Instead, they got a pen full of terrified cats.

That alone should have been enough to overturn the play!

There were a couple that I enjoyed, but the quality has been going down the last couple of years.

One was the beer commercial where the touch football games gets out of hand and the cute bland gets [strike]nailed[/nailed] tackled hard and then gets the favor returned later in the bar.

But the ones that stuck with me were for a financial company (obviously they didn't sdtick that well as I cannot recall their name). They were the ones with "don't judge too quickly". The one with the fly in the hospital room was my favorite.

And WTF was the Dove "Self Esteem for Young Girls" spot doing on the Superbowl?!?

oh, man! I'm screwed when I go to Mayo, aren't I?

But regarding the commercials, I guess I liked the "magic fridge". That made me laugh. None of the others did.

We liked the Benny Hill commercial. Of course, I can't remember what it was for, but the couch was on fire, the theme song played, and hilarity ensued.

I think the commercials suck more because we're getting back to it being mostly old-school megacorporations buying the time rather than start-up internet companies with 50 employees and a $700 million VC infusion operating on the assumption that if people know your name this will be enough to make your rich. Also, it wasn't their money so who cares if it is well spent.

I think we got spoiled.

It was for Sprint's phone service that allows you to download songs to your phone.

Why do I need songs on my phone? Maybe that's why I don't remember that the ad was for Sprint.

I don't know, but a lot people seem to want them there.

I liked the Ford Escape Hybrid commercial, with Kermit singing "It's Not Easy Being Green", while doing all sorts of cool stuff.

I just realized the initials of the Ford Escape Hybrid - FEH... pretty much sums up the Super Bowl this year.
