Personally, I like EDS's Running With Squirrels from 2000. Extremely clever. :D

I'm sorry, I don't like to sound anti-social, but I refuse to get excited about a commercial. I don't care if it cost ultra bizillions of dollars to produce and air, it still is the time to go get a samwich and or a beer.:yes::D

Reebok's Terry Tate, Office Linebacker is pretty damn funny.

Commercials are an interesting art form. They are as much as a reflection of society as anything.

A lot of times, the game has been a dud. The ads are the best part.

That first Go-Daddy.com SB commercial was one of my fav's....

Ridley Scott's "1984" was a brilliant piece of ad work.
Like coming into the middle of a sci-fi film that you actually found you wanted more of.

Beautifully shot in 35mm, feature-film style, with many film history references ('Metropolis' and such.)

One classic moment in a field filled with garbage.

the jeans commercial where the sounds of the hospital room morph into 'tainted love'.

I love a good ad, cinema compressed down to the bare essentials. What is amusing is when you see a funny ad but cannot recall the company it was for; ad agency fail! I can only recall seeing a few of the ones mentioned, Master Lock, Bud Frogs & Apple 1984. All these years and the company name is still easy to recall though. The companies got their money's worth from the agencies that developed those spots. I am surprised though that none of the Fedex Super Bowl ads made the list. Still a fave -

Long dead company but their Super Bowl spots kept their name out there (another agency success) -

Outpost - Wolves (SB 34) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cmT8M_67ow)

Outpost - Gerbils (SB 34) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzbMcsrK-tw)

Looking back at the OP list, I can't believe Budwieser's "True" series didn't rate at least one mention. It will be interesting if InBev will leave Bud's creative alone going forward.

I think you just told me what bothers me about them. :scratch2:

Miller Lite catfight commercial is the best one ever made but I guess it wasn't for the Superbowl.

Edit: Did the legwork and yes it was, 2002 Superbowl. :tresbon:

I like the e-trade commercial with the baby buying stock.
"Yo girl...can I hit you back." I love that line.

talking babies creep me out.

the Hulu commercial this year was excellent.
"I'm Alec Baldwin, TV Star."

I really liked the Doritos commercial a few years back with the mouse trap and the human sized mouse lol It cracks me up every time.
