View Full Version : Official OffCamber Super Bowl Commercial thread
Which ones did you like? Which ones sucked?
Post 'em here. :thumbup:
I can tell you one thing, I'd rather hear the Mindy song than that obscene rendition of the national anthem. Uggghh..
^^^ Yeah, that was, um, different,...
I like anthems performed like anthems.
I wonder if we'll get any American commericials this year...so far, I've seen a mix of US and Cdn commercials.
ETA: Well, we saw the Dr Seuss commercial! :D

The full-length Full Throttle spot was kinda cool, but I was hoping the semi would run over the Red Bull vehicle towards the end. :D

Did Mick come out with a walker? I'm watching the Millrose games on ESPN 2, it's a real sport.
I thought Mick was intentionally skipping over the words. Guess I should pay more attention.
Probably a reaction from the Viagra and Geritol he took earlier. All those little groupies in the front rows are still trying to figure out who those guys are.

What that means for the uninitiated is the refs sub-conciously favored the home team. The first Steeler TD was'nt a TD. The "holding" call was'nt a holding call. Total ********. Just one very long ad to sell crap to a nation of overeating, drunken morons.

The officials didn't give up a 75-yard touchdown run.
The officials didn't give up a 43-yard reverse/wide receiver pass.
The officials didn't give up a long pass on third-and-23 that gave the Steelers first-and-goal and set up the first touchdown.
The officials didn't p!$$ away valuable seconds at the end of the half and the end of the game.
The officials didn't miss two field goals.

Nope. But a mysterious holding call in the 2nd half stopped the go ahead drive, the silly blocking call after the INT put the Steelers into position to for the Els' TD pass, and I, too, can go on. However, as I indicated in the other thread (the picks thread), the 'hags failed to take advantage of field position, etc. in the first half. They should have dominated the game after the Q1 alone.
Congrats, Steelers. Now make way for the Bengals. :)

Whatchoo talkin' 'bout, Willis? :saywhat: Bmore/Gints ('01) was by far the most horrendous SB of the last decade. Bucs/Raiderz and Denver/@lanta weren't much better either. @ least this game was in question until the middle of the 4th Q.

The officials did allow a BS TD with Ben laying on the ground reaching for the end zone.
The officials somehow called phantom holding penalties against Seattle.
The officials did call a penalty on Matt for making a clean tackle.
The officials did not call a penalty on Big Ben for illegally blocking below the waste immediately after the penalty on Matt was called.
The officials did not call a penalty when the Steelers didnt call timeout before the play clock hit 0.
The officials did not call the Steelers offsides when they clearly were.
The officials called a penalty against Seattle on the TD pass to start the game because both the defender and wide receiver were hitting each others arms.
Oh and apparently Horse Collar tackles are now allowed.
The referees have been terrible the entire post season and tonight was no different. Seattle played bad, Pittsburgh played mediocre, and the officiating was disgraceful.
Pardon me for expecting them to do a good job. I mean, they do get paid to do this crap. Its not volunteer work. Referees should never be a story after the game, but it looks like the NFL is taking the NBA's model of trying to make a story out of the Zebras.

And this was a so-called "All Star" crew. :saywhat: :shakehead
I wonder what the LJ was calling when he raced in during Ben's 'TD'? He definitely did not have a TD called until he got close, and by then Ben had crawled past the goal line after being downed. If that was the basis of the call, which it appeared to be, then it should have been overturned.
I also expected a horse collar tackle to be called on Porter in the 4th Q.
-Kevin
Officials are going to make mistakes. Sorry, but that's the price of being human. The secret, as a team in any sport, is to make the plays that keep the officials from deciding the game. Pittsburgh did that against the Colts when the replay official took an obvious fumble recovery away from them, a call that could have cost them the game. Pittsburgh made plays when they had to on Sunday. If Seattle would have made a play or two, instead of bitching about the officials, they very well could have the game. If they're looking for someone to blame, they should look in the mirror.

Glad I missed it (as usual).

Wan't really a fan of either. Would've been nice to see a game where the officiating wasn't so bad but bad where it was blatantly one sided. Sad that Seattle had to beat both the Steelers AND the officials. What's worse were the commercials sucked too. :thumdown:

There were pods of local commercials that ran End Q1, End Q2, Beginning Q3, End Q3, Within Q4, and End Q4. If the Mindy commercial ran during those times, then you're right, and it probably was local only.
I liked the FedEx caveman, the Hummer3, and the Clydesdales commercials.
I ditched the pregame show for the soothing tones of Puppy Bowl II. I fell hard for the two springer spaniels. What cuties.
It's only 31 days till the rugby league season kicks off here in Australia and after watching Superbowl XL ( :confused: ) it can not come quick enough for me. :gomer: :)

Good thing we have a TiVo, came in very handy. Most people use them so you don't have to watch the commercials. We used it so we didn't have to watch the Superbowl. Just TiVo'd through to catch all the commercials.
Was rather dissapointed though. Fed Ex was pretty good, crime deterrent ok too. My fave was McGyver.
Was disappointed in the Careerbuilder Monkeys. Was looking forward to them after playing with Careerbuilder's Monk-e-mail all week. Check it out.

6. Bud Light Hidden Bud Lights
7. Sierra Mist Kathy Griffin
8. Bud Light Bear Attack
9. Aleve Leonard Nimoy
10. Bud Light Revolving Wall
Don't even remember the Friendly Skies spot. The "That Killed Him" spot was amusing but the Ameriquest spots really didn't make much of an impression on me. "What was that for?"

The data is not personally identified. They know how many people replayed when but not who. If you don't like that you can opt out entirely and they gather no data. Last I checked there was no DVR company with a stronger, clearer privacy policy than TiVo.
I like voting with my remote. Skip the stuff the sucks, replay the stuff that rules.

Super Bowl is an excuse for a Party
I've had one every year since 1986 ... attendance varies between 15 & 30 people ... Last year because the Eagles were in the SuperBowl, I had 30 people ... this year about 20
Wives come also and Older Kids seem to enjoy the event ( I make the Food, All HomeMade, My Roast Beef sandwiches are especially popular, yeah I'm Braggin ;) )
Some come for the Game, Some for the Food & Beer, Some just to hang out
I Have 2 Rooms going with High Definition 55" in the Media Room, 32" Plasma in the Office !
about 50% of the people are into the game but if it sucks, they hang around the Keg
I think the ratings reflect the "Event" more than the teams playing, however I think everyone expected a competetive game this year, and it was funny haow much the "Referee Calls" would get people in front of the TV, and arguing about it !
I'm too busy "Hosting" to get to spend much time watching, but I try !
