Super Bowl 2015 Commercials

Post by C-dub »

So far, there have been a couple duds and a few good ones.

Kim K. - dud

Couric/Gumbel - I thought this one was funny.


Which ones have you liked or disliked?

Any ad with Gumbel in it should lead to a boycott of the advertiser, I change my wife's TV station when he comes on.

Normally, I would agree, but he didn't get to veer from the script in this one and it used footage from a couple decades ago with the two of them. As with many of these commercials, the content had little to do with the product being advertised. I still thought the premise was funny.

My favorite is, as usual, the Budweiser Clydesdale & little dog commercial. That one spoke to me. :cheers2:

Been watching it streaming live on NBC from my laptop to my Apple TV. What we are seeing has most of the ads blocked, and there's just a superbowl "screensaver" during the commercials.

I turn the channel during all football games, especially the Super Bowl, during commercials. if I don't want my kids seeing it, then I don't want to see it either.

Doesn't matter to me if he followed the script, he still needs to be muzzled. Yes, he has a right to free speech, but not inflammatory stuff like he is responsible for, he has insulted me directly, as a member of the NRA, and deserves to be censured.

What game, what commercials? It is Katy Perry that rocked the show.
Seriously, I enjoyed the game and I was a fan for the Patriots, I am glad they won.

I understand what you're saying and that's why I'm pointing out that he didn't speak freely, which you say he has a right to do. The powers that be also probably didn't want him speaking freely after the barrage of complaints they've received over that other nutbag going on his anti-2A rant a couple years ago.
