Super Bowl XLI Ad #29: Ford F-Series Super Duty

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

I don’t like trucks and I like big trucks even less. But this slickly done Ford commercial almost had me interested in an F-Series Super Duty. Almost.

Really nice special effects get this truck commercial a 9 on the Geek-o-Meter.

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.

Super Bowl XLI Ad #25: FedEx Don’t Judge

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

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.
