Ad campaigns that make me want to punch random passers-by in the throat

[Drake Tungsten]

The Google ad was clearly the best ad of the night.

I can't believe how wrong this is.

Anyway, the best ad was clearly the one that got Jay Leno and David Letterman on the same couch together. How the hell did they manage that?

I also can't believe you're not showing any love for the two Lost themed ads from Bud Light, including one starring Dr. Pierre Chang himself.

Damn, The Who are OLD.

Dude, half of The Who is DEAD.

[Guynemer]

I can't believe Dr. Pierre Chang was that hard up for work.

The Bud Light ads sucked. They have always sucked. They will always suck. Beer ads, with precious few exceptions, are the most idiotic, inane, spectacularly awful 30 seconds of television you are ever likely to see.



I didn't really count the Letterman thing, as that was more of a CBS promo, rather than an ad. It was pretty awesome; would've been awesomer if Conan had come up behind Leno and strangled him with piano wire, though.





The Who acquitted themselves rather well, considering their age. Honestly, do you remember what halftime used to be? To you remember that Britney Spears/Aerosmith/N'Sync craptacular several years ago? The Timberlake/Jackson **** sandwich?

Sure, The Who wasn't anywhere as good as Prince was a couple years ago, but let's be honest: Prince will never be topped. What we got tonight was still better than what we used to get on a yearly basis.

Dude, he hasn't had a steady job since the '70s. Cut the man some slack.

As inane as they can be, beer ads are still vastly superior to a lame and utterly predictable series of search engine entries.

I really enjoyed the Google ad (as I've said earlier) and the Letterman-Leno ad (which was, from reports, Letterman's idea). But I also liked the Bud Light ads, especially the Bud Light House.

The "be more manly" ads and the underwear ads sucked though.

[DirtyMartini]

Anyone else notice how they stacked two "I wear no pants" ads and two "here are some midgets" ads back to back? That was weird.

[Elok]

Previous halftime shows were bad, but they were bad shows by bad artists which destroyed no illusions. Seeing The Who as a bunch of geezers is really, really depressing, and I was born like thirty years after the Baby Boom.

Paul McCartney's show a few years back wasn't bad. Sure, he was old, but Sir Paul isn't exactly human. He's more of a venerable elvish sprite or something.

Can we get a refund for the waste of money for the stupid Census ad?

Completely agree. Lest it get overlooked, though, Zak Starkey is highly reminiscent of Moon, and it was obvious last night.

Am I the first person to ever agree with Guy and DD in a single post? The mere fact that the census is advertising is ****ing retarded. That they're doing it ****tily is to be expected.

HAHAHA we're the federal gummint, don't talk stupid. And while I didn't see the ad, I'm guessing it's another of our vain attempts to persuade Mexicans and moonshiners that not only do we not wish to report them to other fed bodies, we are unable to by law. Is that about right?

Or is it just an attempt to keep idiots from phoning me about census jobs and asking, "What is the census? What kind of business do you do there?"
