My Five Favorite 2010 Super Bowl Ads

Part of the fun of the Super Bowl is the advertisements. We laugh, we cry, we cringe, and we sometimes wonder if the company could have spent $3 million a littel better. Although I'm sure there's a few I missed, here's my top 5 (click "read more" on the homepage to see all the videos).

Honorable Mentions: TruTV: Troy “Punxsutawney” Polamalu, Coca Cola: Hard Times (with The Simpsons), Bridgestone: Whale of a Tale, the end of the VW: Punching Game and all the NFL.com commercials.


#5 E-Trade: Girlfriend
The Babies + "The Wolf" + "Milkaholic" = two thumbs up



#4 Bud Light: Survivor
LOST + funny + the hot tub = great (and did you see Dr. Pierre Chang in a different Bud Light ad? Conspiracy? The Numbers? Smoke Monster?)

Joba Chamberlain's "Beyond A Journey" MLB Commercial

I've been meaning to post this for a few days but I really like this commercial. Makes me appreciate Joba Chamberlain--and his dad--a little more:

Welcome to NY NY Sports Sports

I have to say I love these SNY commercials. Street & Smith's Sports Business Journal takes a look at how the commercial spots have taken a faux sports store and sold local rivalries for a channel that most people (including me) just think of as a Mets only channel. I'm just interested in the humor so I've listed them in the order of their funniness.

1. Lessons Learned. It keeps on getting better and better until the lesson learned about the cups near the bathroom. Amazing. The first one I saw and the best one to date.



2. Keith Day. Gotta love the mustache and Keith does a great job in this spot. Strange for a spot that's trying to be universal New York spots to use a Mets personality, but Keith was on Seinfeld, so it's all good.



3. Cable guy. Seems very similar at the beginning to the Verizon Fios commercials but this is just so much more funny. Interesting that it's pretty Mets-centric like the last one, but it seems to drive the point home they're trying to make about SNY.



4. Charades. The weakest of the four commercials, but still funny. The charade for the Devil is pretty awesome.



Agree with my order? Your thoughts on the best?
