Can we officially declare that these have now jumped the shark? It's just a bunch of commercials filled with celebrity cameos. Are these people really that desperate for the extra cash that they need to go out and start hawking some random bullshit? None of this stuff has any creativity anymore. Just bad.... And Bob Dylan in a car commercial? When did he become a corporate shill? |

Nomination supported. Absolutely atrocious. Got a chuckle out of the Doritos Time Machine spot, but even that was mediocre. |

And Bob Dylan in a car commercial? When did he become a corporate shill? Thought the Dylan commercial was probably one of the top 5 of the evening. The Butterfinger commercial was pretty good. The Bud Light one where they take that guy in the limo into those ridiculous situations was not too bad. Also the Doberman - Chihuahua one was kinda funny. Overall I have to agree with you though. A lot of wasted money there by a lot of companies. |

Check something a little more current. That's 4 months old. The company and stock has rebounded nicely. They are trying to transform the image to a modern store. No better way than to have the most talked about commerical of the Super Bowl. |

The reality is that these commercials are well worth the money. As lame as they are, having your product seen by that many people is just extremely valuable. Hence the price. |

I didn't get to watch many of them as my dickhead BIL decided that he would be a passive aggressive douche and flip to the hockey channel during timeouts. Even my wife called him out on it. |

I agree that they can be a great investment. It just seems that in the past few years, these commercials are just turning into celebrity cameos. It takes creativity to make an idea from scratch that can captivate the county and get people talking about your product. I don't think rounding up a bunch of celebrities to put in your commericial is all that creative, but it seems that's what 90% of these super bowl commericals are now. The Bob Dylan one really killed me too. He would be the last person I would think would go for something like this. |

Dylan sold out a while ago |

There were quite a few that were okay for me but at the end left me wondering what was that for? |

I was surprised that he would do a car commercial but I think it was more about the message that Chrysler was trying to purvey that made me look at it and think it made a little sense to have him delivering the dialogue. |

He didn't grow up with the sport as he is from Dayton and I have never seen him skate. I really think he became a fan about 2010 and now he is Mr. Hockey. It was pure dickhead behavior. I have more to say but I think I'll take it to the complaint thread |

You've just described 95% of Blackhawks fans. |

There are some people who dig their heels in when they are shown to be wrong even when they know they are wrong...of course no one on this board is like that. Throw in some mild Asperger/social inability traits and you've got someone who should not be in control of the TV. Notre Dame guy too, so, there is that. |

I liked the Coke ad, but in general the commercials were pretty bad IMO. |

Radio Shack was the best. I also smiled at the Tim Tebow commercials. |

i thought the radio shack one was well done, they acknowledge what the general public currently thinks of radioshack (old, outdated) and tell you the viewer that they are revamping their stores to a more modern tech store... a good idea if you ask me but i have no clue how they fully change the common perception. |

It's working well. |
