Super Bowl XLI Ad #28: Emerald Nuts Robert Goulet

posted Sunday, February 4th, 2007, by Victoria Fung

Robert Goulet drops from the ceiling a la Mission Impossible and messes up your workspace if you’re not noshing on nuts. Very bizarre, and a whole new take on the romantic crooner. This gets an 8 on the Geek-o-Meter. It takes guts to be this weird.

Super Bowl XLI Ad #27: Acura Dreamer

posted Sunday, February 4th, 2007, by Andy Gore

This Acura commercial gets a nod if only because its got a nice concept, well-executed; no gimmicks, but nice visuals. And how smart is it for a car company to link its brand to innovation? A definite 9 on the Geek-o-Meter.

Super Bowl XLI Ad #26: Bud Light Hitchhiker

Best beer commercial of Super Bowl XLI. Love the fact that the axe-wielding maniac is freaked by the guy with the chainsaw. Watch it, really, it’s worth it just for that. A solid 8 on the Geek-o-Meter.

In goofy fashion, FedEx asks that you not judge something by its name. OK. We’re chuckling and giving this one a 5 on the Geek-o-Meter.

Super Bowl XLI Ad #24: Jack in the Box Just Like Dad

posted Sunday, February 4th, 2007, by Andy Gore

Aren’t these Jack in the Box commercials getting a little old? Combine that with a somewhat predictable twist ending and you get a commercial that’s a lot like Jack’s food – filling, but not satisfying. It gets a 6 on the Geek-o-Meter.
