If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!

Post by bookworm »

This year broke the record tied by the last two Super Bowls with 30 seconds of commercial time costing $4.5 million.

Which were your favorites?

This year did seem a bit of a letdown in the commercial department. There were really no major standouts.
In fact there weren't really standouts of any kind. Usually you can tell 'Yeah that was a Super Bowl commercial', there's something different about them. But this year I didn't really get that from any.


A few I thought were worth noting:


This one was funny:




This was amusing:




This one is stupid, but the walking dog made me laugh pretty hard:




And Doritos gets a spot because they've become the star of recent years. This wasn't hilarious, they've done better, but it was solid:




A few honorable mentions:


This made me chuckle:




This isn't super funny, but it made me smile:




And this made me laugh just because Brett Favre, and those business ideas were amusing:
