Super Bowl 2011 Commercials Rundown

Sean — Tue, 11 Jan 2011 22:10:21 +0000

The Super Bowl has become an American holiday and while originally, most people just tuned in for the game, nowadays there’s more than just the football contest that draws fans to the spectacle. There’s the pre-game show, celebrity halftime acts, the Super Bowl predictions courtesy of BetUs – and predictions from virtually every other person, place or thing you know – and, of course, the commercials.

As per usual, the 2011 lineup of advertisers will include a few familiar faces (or companies). Anheuser-Busch (Budweiser) is always a staple of NFL advertising and they’ll be a headlining commercial act. Other companies that we’ll see include Coca-Cola, E*Trade and GoDaddy.com. Pepsi will also get back into the fold after a one-year absence. All of the commercial slots sold out in December.

The average cost for a 30-second spot at Super Bowl XLIV was $2.8 million so expect a similar cost (with some inflation) for this year’s game.

USA Today will run it’s popular ad meter contest where a user-generated video will win up to $5 million if it’s chosen this season. Last year’s winner was the octogenarian performers Betty White and Abe Vigoda playing tackle football in a Snickers commercial.

Super Bowl XLV will take place on February 6th, 2011.

My Favorite 2008 Superbowl Commercials

Ok, I know it’s late, but here’s my list of favorites from this year’s 2008 Superbowl Commercials. I’ll keep updating the list as I get them in.

… And the number on spot goes to…

Best & Worst Super Bowl 41 Commercials

Sean — Mon, 05 Feb 2007 15:40:24 +0000

First off, I want to congratulate the Indianapolis Colts for their amazing comeback win over the Chicago Bears in last night’s Big Game.

As far as the commercial ads go, I was overly impressed at all. I felt a bit let down with the lack of “Funny” and “Creative” commercials this year. I’d have to say it was one of the worst years for big ads during the game. And it’s almost not even worth mentioning the way-over-hyped GoDaddy.com ad that was just lame.

I was able to pick a couple “Best” and “Worst” overall, although worst could go to at least one third (I’m being modest) of those shown. What I call best is actually made me laugh! Here they are:

BEST / FUNNY:

Bud Lite Classroom – Carlos Mencia Teaching English

Rock, Paper Siscors – Bud Lite

FedEx – Not What it Seems

Emerald Nuts – “Boogeyman”

WORST:

Flomax
Here’s a links since they disabled the ‘embed’ option, but that’s ok because theirs was by far the worst! So don’t bother clicking on it:

Snickers – Do Something Manly

Best and Worst Super Bowl Commercials So Far

Sean — Mon, 05 Feb 2007 02:29:01 +0000

The best TV ad as of the beginning of the 3rd quarter is this Bud Lite Commercial – Rock, Paper Scissors:

The worst (tough since most of the aren’t that good at all):

Today is Super TV Commercial Bowl Sunday

Sean — Sun, 04 Feb 2007 20:23:44 +0000

Yep it’s here again … the Super Bowl. Millions of people around the world surrounding the tv to watch some the best (and worst) television advertising of the year occasionally interrupted with a football game.

We plan to offer you some of those right here on the TV Commercial Blog, so be sure and stop back.

By the way, last yearâ€™s Super Bowl commercials are still up on Google Video (video.google.com/superbowl.html). I’m sure Google will replace these ads with Super Bowl XLI ads tomorrow (hopefully they archive the old ones). Yahoo will also be hosting the actual Super Bowl ads once the game starts at Yahoo Video which is pretty cool. It sure is a lot easier to find, grab and replay video ads now then it was just a year ago.
