I hope they make me laugh..
Oh come on, where's the Old Spice guy?? That's one of the best trompe d'oeil commercials ever! I can't remember a single line from any of the e*Trade commercials, but who doesn't not remember "I'm on a horse"?
How can these companies who are paying $3,000,000 for a 30sec.add on Super Bowl Sunday justify this. When the cost of living and just about everything else is getting out of hand , people all over the country are loosing their homes and there is 10% unemployment.Same old story the rich get richer and the poor get the shaft
Please go live in a communist country, as that is clearly what you want and desire. I see you have both a computer and access to the internet .. is that really necessary? You could be in South Africa helping the poor children. Instead, you are on MSNBC with your computer and internet, which I'm sure those staving children and people without homes would love to have.
They can justify it because the return from increased sales and improved visibility in the market is much greater than the three million dollar cost of the ad. And that money is going to pay advertising firms, which pay out salaries to employees, who then buy other stuff leading to other people being able to be paid salaries. It's economics. Deal with it.
Sorry, I will be far from a television screen and enjoying a walk or bike ride. The Stupor Bowl and the attendant grossly over-rated ads can pass into history without my attention.
Just as you will also pass into history without the attention of the vast majority of other human beings.
Just thought I'd add a little perspective to your pomposity.
Perfectimp, an appropriately impish comment. I do not care to be remembered and I'm fairly sure I will not be.
What? Not even a mention of the Bud - Wise - er frog ads? Or the Tabasco mosquito? What about the car ads where the hood pops up and hits the bird, or the cat caught in the closing sun roof. The Clydsdales playing football in the snow with the zebra under the play review monitor is another classic. I agree that the Terry Tate "you forgot the cover sheets on your TPS reports line" in the office ad.
Yeah, those frogs always killed me. Remember Louie the Lizard?...consulting his buddy for a great pick up line and comes up with .... "I love the way your gelatenous tongue glistens in the moonlight...." Didnt know weather to check my pants or wind my watch I was laughing so hard.
Nowadays, I laugh like crazy for the e-Trade baby. Totally funny.... "... riding the dog like a pony is FROWNED UPON....in this establishment!! ..."Oh, solitary confinement, huh?" Just a guy and his smart phone, (as he pulls it out from under his blankie... and starts singing..."Nobody knows...." Cracks me up!!....."Hey Baby, can I hit you back??"
I hope they have another funny one for the e-Trade Baby... If kids were really that funny, I'd have had more!! Regrettably, such is not the case!!
The biggest classic of all times was the Coke and Mean Joe Greene jersey ad.
OK, Mean Joe.... it's right up there, admittedly. True.
Roseanne Bar instead of Betty White? Nope already not agreeing with it. Was looking for a follow up with Betty White in it. Sorry Snickers you lost me with Roseanne Bar.
There better be something with the Clydesdales in it. Don't change the adds too much on us. You'll loose us who just watch the Super Bowl just for the adds.
Rosanne Bar lost all my respect when she spit after singing the National Anthem. Or should I say, screamed the National Anthem. Why anyone would pay her to be in a commercial is beyond me.
Please, please, PLEASE no more stupid E-trade baby commercials.
BBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
THEY ARE THE BEST!!! Sorry Man, I love em.
I agree totally! Nothing is more annoying than that awful e-Trade baby. Babies or kids acting like sarcastic adults are simply not cute. It's bad enough being exposed to obnoxious sarcastic adults!
Super bowl commercial bingo for your phone. FUNNY!!!
Ill skip the Stupid Bowl and watch the commercials on Monday over the internet.
The true cost of the super bowl is in spousal abuse after the beer binge, the bar fights, the OUI charges, the betting and loosing of this months rent money, and the hundred of thousands that take a "sick Day" On Monday as well as all the extended "watercooler" trips to rehash the game,will slow down the entire nations productivity. Oh and now a report that says there is a connected increase in Heart Attacks in the home town of the loosing team.
And you think the COMMERCIALS are expensive.
"..... Every party needs a pooper, that's why they invited you, party pooper, party pooper.... la la la..... "
never experienced any of the stuff you mention. Never took the next day off... none of that. might want to rethink your network of friends, dude.
They've all been a fun time... my Wife and I and a couple friends, our kids, etc. No biggie, really. Just lots of fun, and friendly gamesmanship.
what a stupid comment
You need some Zoloft or something Radical. Man that was as excruciating a post as I've seen on what is lighthearted subject matter. You sound like the Assistant Manager at a company nobody wants to work for and comes up with any excuse not to show up to work. Either that or an abused spouse (no laughing matter) of an oft drunk sore loser who has left you on the streets one too many February's. The whole NATION's productivity is probably more affected by the fact that the economy is in the toilet rather than a 3 hour gridiron relief from reality. Here's hoping you don't end up with a "Heart Attack" (capitals? really?) if you live in Pittsburgh or Green Bay or else we will all be "loosing" one heckuva cheerful gal!
well, now I'm bummed.... Oh, don't have to agree... never mind :)
both of those "studies" are internet bogus studies. There is no actual study on either of these subjects..someone decided to post "statistics" on the internet and people like you spread it like wildfire.
The numer 1 choice has always been my favorite. Still brings a tear to my eyes. Wish we could go back to the unity of those times. Why does it take a tragedy to bring us closer together?
I believe the Budweiser ad was and still is the best of all time.
Budweiser's ad called Heroes (#5) and the Budweiser's ad called Respect (#1)
I love all the Clydesdale commercial that Bud puts out. The Respect one chocked me up. And so did the Heroes one. I love it when my soul gets touched, even if it is a commercial.
AZ Hockeymom... please... pass the tissues??? snif snif....
(crybaby) ha ha
I know, that's me. What can I say, Patriotism gets makes me sappy.
I still think the cowboys herding cats was the funniest.
I do, too. It was creative and a very welcome departure from the usual old formula formats using dogs, horses, frogs and monkeys.
I saw part of the Darth Vader ad and it looks good. See you on Sunday hopefully minus the snow in Big D.
Definately the Budweiser Respect ad, still makes me cry.
I don't look at the Super Bowl as wasting big money, there are many people involved, from advertising to parking that are employed by such an advent. No matter that some of the amounts are obscene, it is money into the economy, from bars and restaurants to the print person at the local newspaper, its revenue and we should take it anyway we can. I'm willing to bet the people who are employed for any job at all revolving around this event are quite happy.
In advertising, it's all about CPI - cost per impression. The reason Super Bowl ads costs so much is...drum roll please... more people are likely to see them! So while they may be more expensive than an ad aired during Fringe, the number of people watch will be much greater - as in exponential factor-type greater.
Add into that the analysis of the ads, the commentary, the voting, etc.... your cost per pair of eyeballs becomes very reasonable.
The trick, though, is how to make it impactful. How will it affect your buying decision. On most, it seems to be brand building and engender good will toward a product or brand, rather than a specific call to action. Good example of this - watch the VW commercial for the new Passat - the one with a young Darth Vader.
Have a great weekend, everyone - enjoy the game, and enjoy my industry's hard work as well!
I can't wait. This year I'm recording the game too so if I miss a commercial, I can watch it later.
Good idea. I only watch it for the commercials anyway.
I think they missed the ad for a company called Hope for Car Owners. Their website is www. carloanmod .com and they are said to have invested heavily in Super Bowl ads in an effort to raise awareness of their efforts to get big lenders in the country to write down existing auto loans. We'll see
WHATEVER!
To AZ Hockeymom - nothing wrong with patriotism making you sappy -
God love ya' and God bless and take care of all the men and women in the military !!!
What, EDS gets no love? Yea, I know that I still don't know what EDS does (and I work in the industry, supposedly), but "Herding Cats" and "Running With the Squirrels" are both classics.
