Super Bowl Sunday is the one time of the year I don’t get up to stick more leftovers in the microwave or throw my clothes in the dryer during the commercial break. Last year I thought that overall the ads were pretty underwhelming. This year, it seemed hit-or-miss. Some spots, like the talking E-Trade baby, were great, while others (SalesGenie's panda bears with the terrible accents, say) were really unfunny.
What did you think? Did this year’s ads live up to your expectations?

i think that there were some real winners and some that really weren't all that thrilling. it's hard because you know that there are going to be some GREAT ones - and you get put off by the less than wonderful ones. i'm glad that you guys showed the etrade picture above though - that may have been the best 2 ads in the whole thing!
1no more talking babies! please!
2I loved the Diet Pepsi Max commercial and the Doritos commercial - otherwise they kinda stunk - you would think for millions of dollars they would do something better!
3It's so frustrating that we don't get the commercials in Canada!!!
4The Diet Pepsi Max commercials were pretty good. I also liked the Bud Light "firebreather." We did laugh during the Justin Timberlake ad, and the Thriller Lizards.
Other than that, it was just fairly "meh."
5ugh, the SalesGenie ads were downright racist...Pandas with bad Chinese accents??? Omg, that was just painful to watch! I'm really not sure how they got away with that ad...it was truly terrible.
6I stayed up until 3 a.m. watching the game on BBC2...and there's no commercials period! BOOO!!!!
7the talking baby and screaming animals pretty much creeped me out!! But I did get laughs out of the talking stain (for some reason!), Justin Timberlake's ad, and Will Ferrell's ad.....oh, and I thought the Clydesdale/Dalmation ad was cute:)
8they all sucked. no originality, not funny, felt "forced"
9there wasn't that much originality or cleverness. for as much money as these companies pay you would think the commercials would be amazing!
10The E-Trade baby was really cute. I thought the Sales Genie commericals were boarderline racist.
11For the most part, I was underwhelmed this year as well. Very disappointing, though I did like Big Ben and the American Idol spot.
12The Diet Pepsi Max one was great. Those bobbin' heads cracked me up!
13The Thriller Lizards were cute!
14The SalesGenie ads were in pretty poor taste. Between the goofy Middle Eastern guy and the pushy female Asian Panda I was kinda put off by them.
Most of the other commercials were funny...all the ones you girls have mentioned I liked too
Where I live (Northern California) we have a ton of political ads running....especially a proposition involving Indian Gaming. Both ads for and against the proposition were incredibly annoying.
15The screaming animals one was the best. The bud light ones were just weird.
16I LOVED the two COke ads I saw - the ballons (Stewie & Underdog bested by Charlie Brown), and the political one (Dem and Repub share Coke and go sightseeing in DC.) They each had a great message.
17was not a fan of the salesgenie ads.
only ones i liked were the doritos and jt ads.
18Fire Breather was hilarious.
19Screaming animals (especially the little cricket) were funny.
Talking baby was kind of odd - but I liked his line about underestimating the weird factor (or something like that) about the clown.
you can see all the commerials on myspace.com/superbowlads, or something like that. You could see them on bell express view tho, they supplied the US feed to canada.
20The Sales Genie ad was really really bad. Kinda insulting actually.
21I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought the Asian pandas were offensive. I really didn't think any of the ads were great, though I did like the one with Justin in it. Talking babies freak me out; I wish they'd stop making those.
22Yay for Justin!
23Boo for SalesGenie!!
the coke ad w/ the balloons was my fave! so cute!!!!
i thought the talking stain was funny too
they all pretty much sucked tho....
24I voted "other", I missed the Super Bowl entirely.
25I loved the Diet Pepsi Max commercial! lol it was funny.
26yea the Tide was funny too
27Enough with the talking baby commercials
They creep me the f*ck out.
