Super Bowl XLI Ad #26: Bud Light Hitchhiker

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

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

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.

A couple of lion debate the pronunciation and elocution of carne asada. Oh, so civilized! The big cats get two paws up and a 7 on the Geek-o-Meter.

Super Bowl XLI Ad #22: GM Robot

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

A robot, driven to the edge by a heartless car company that would fire it for a harmless mistake, is condemned it to a string of demeaning jobs until the very sight of a GM car drives it to suicide.

Well-produced commercial with nice music. Just not sure why I’d buy a GM car after what they did to poor, old Armie. It scores a 7 on the Geek-o-Meter.
