Shannon's ShortTakes

Now to the real winner...

Wow what a game last night!!  Very exciting at the end...total upset.  That's good tv.  Ok, now to the other stuff people will be talking about today.

The commercials.

Which were your favorites?  Which ones did you hate?  I'll start us off.

Here's a list of my favorites:

1. Budweiser commercial where Hank the Clydesdale trains with the dalmation to make the "Budweiser Clydesdale" cut.  Cute, funny, and loved the "Rocky" theme song.  I gotta say, the Clydesdales win it for me every year.

2.  The screaming animals in the Bridgestone Tire commercial.  One word.  Hysterical.

3.  Two-way tie between the Talking Tide Stain (sooo funny) and the baby investor for E-trade.  "I rented a clown...I really underestimated the creepienss."  Classic.

Honorable mention: Will Ferrell as "Jackie Moon" saying "Bud Light, suck one."  Nough said.

Ok, now to the fun part...the worst:

Honorable mention:  The Michelle Branck look-alike singing in the (what seemed to be like a ten minute long) Doritos commercial.  C'mon people.  I'm a chick, and even I know there's a time and a place for mushy chick songs.  The first quarter of the Superbowl ain't it.

3.  What the heck do Naomi Campbell (yup, that was her), a bunch of dancing computer-generated lizzards, and Michael Jackson's Thriller have to do with Pepsi?  Now, if they'd set Naomi's hair on fire...maybe.

2.  The one where the heart jumps out of the woman's chest.  Dude, I'm eating deer chili and nacho cheese dip...do you think I wanna see this right now?

1.  And the loser is...the Audi commercial where the guy wakes up with a car engine in his bed, and then an Audi drives off out front.  It's a spoof (and a bad one) of the infamous horse's head in the bed scene in The Godfather.  Poorly executed...and I think I'm speaking for all who love that film.

I have to go with the Bud, they always do have the best commercials, that appeal to every age bracket. My 12 years old, (who is against any form of drinking or drugs) had to laugh at that. Even though she didn't know the Rocky song.
