Summary:
As clich's it may be, it's still 80% less annoying than those whack rodents in pirate hats from a couple of years ago.

The one stinky Bud Light ad was one that the ESPN crowd really dug - the parachute-less pilot heading out the door for the six of Diet Bud. An ad taking place at the Super Bowl should be IN the Super Bowl- done real time. For their light beer category, the ad with the head on the wall and the designated driver spot were the best for Bud Light.

Pepsi's second year of an iTunes promotion kicked off well. Although the spot was humorous and worked, Pepsi could've really hit a home run by involving the older 'authority figure' more into the ad. Their message was, 'We don't prejudge.' The ad featuring spaghetti sauce, a cat, and knife will certainly make some 'Best Of' reels this year.

Decent work also included Honda's new pickup/SUV product introduction.

Well, Super Bowl XXXIX is history. Too bad for the folks who consider themselves the always-pullin'-for-the-underdog type. The Bandwagon team won.

But, as far as Super chess go, the losers played well. For those who care, the Eagles veritably covered the 7-point spread. T.O. is the deal, too. At least on the field, anyway.

They had a round late in the game, but poor field position and bad timer management did them in. Scoring from 95 yards out with 48 seconds left? That's a tall order.

So is getting/maintaining ad recall 48 hours retrograde the final gun. Whose $80,000 per second ad was worth it? Who would've done sharper by writing me a fat peruse for $2.4 million?

Read on, and find out. True to school yard rules: Suckers Walk. Losers are up first.

Losers:
Sorry, Donovan, but your three picks lands you in with GoDaddy.com, Quizno's, and Silestone. I don't care if you were ill.

GoDaddy.com had a decent concept that quickly went bad. OK. Boopsie talking to a Senate subcommittee on C-SPAN just about indecency. Good start- if they cut out any hint to last year's halftime debacle. But... they couldn't resist. So the becoming wench wearing a GoDaddy.com t-shirt has a near wardrobe malfunction. One of the craggy senators has to hit the oxygen mask.

This ad was supposed to run again, but Fox pulled it mid-game. Good idea. I bet their stomachs were in as many knots as Donovan McNabb's.

The Quizno's ad was mediocre at best. This talking baby concept is tiresome. As cliché as it may be, it's still 80% less pestilential than those whack rodents in pirate hats from a couple of years ago.

The one stinky Bud Light ad was one that the ESPN crowd really dug - the parachute-less pilot heading out the door for the six of Diet Bud. Dumb. The desert island one with Cedric the Entertainer was iffy, too.

Speaking of stinky... what was up with Napster’s ad? Ugh! It could wind up doing more to shut them down than the Supreme Court.

This bad concept was in stark difference to their introductory spots featuring Flash piss and vinegar based in circles their logo. Those were well-designed and entertaining. This one was as fat and ugly as the seven shirtless blops they decided to show with a letter on each of their overdeveloped beer guts to spell N-A-P-S-T-E-R. It was done in house and, boy, did it show.

The manufactured “reality” of the game and its spirit was lame and no one store it. An ad taking place at the Super Bowl should be IN the Super Bowl- done real time. And... trying to take on Apple’s iTunes on price? That was the second dumbest decision of this ad. No wonder it finished dead last in likability and recognition.

Now... Silestone. Valiant effort of an ad featuring Chicago sports legends. Voice over was good. It was shot nicely. But, it was a little too jumpy in the cuts to get the whole picture the first time through. The quick cut style hurt the name recognition of the line of counter tops.

Silestone and Nike Pearl are not exactly household names. And Dennis Rodman slurred his line. It sounded like 'Dinah Pearl, rather than, 'Diana Pearl.' I'm sure the director or writer got dissed when they said, 'Uh, Worm... it's 'Di-A- na'.'

'Sure. Dinah.'

As a side note, why were only Chicago Bears in it until Dennis Rodman at the end? No Scottie Pippen or Slammin’ Sammy?

On to the good 'uns...

Winners:

This year, the game was nearly as good as the ads, as there were a surprisingly good number of reduction spots. Leading the pack was pitch Builder, FedEx, Mastercard, and Anheuser-Busch.

FedEx likes to make ads relating to advertisement on advertising's master stage. They did it yet again - patching together 10 'tried and true' Super bowl ad conventions to great results.

Career constructor put a great spin on a stale grouping with the best work since Monster's 'I Wanna Be...' [a encompass with shadow noser, forced into retirement, etc.] from '98. Three ads featuring a hapless credulous person working for chimps managed to put their name into mind share largely dominated by two others.

MasterCard got a cling to of strenuous branded food icons together for a meal and a nice touch of nostalgia. Ad fans and jurisdiction folks dug this one.

A-B hit emotional hot buttons with a near-public service ad saluting troops retuning home. Yes, they were real military - not actors. Their uniforms just did not have any insignias, so the collective soldier would be represented. For their light beer category, the ad with the head on the wall and the designated driver spot were the best for Bud Light.

Pepsi’s second year of an iTunes promotion kicked off well. They ran a humorous spot featuring people opening winning bottles for a free song. When the bottles were opened, a song reflecting the drinker’s taste in music would play. the spot was humorous and worked, Pepsi could’ve really hit a home run by involving the older “authority figure” more into the ad. But, keeping with make tradition, they kept the focus young.

AmeriQuest had two entertaining spots revolving alive the themes of misunderstanding and jumping to conclusions. Their message was, “We don’t prejudge.” The ad featuring spaghetti sauce, a cat, and knife will inescapably make some ‘Best Of” reels this year.

Decent work also included Honda's new pickup/SUV product introduction. Good detail with good highlights. Left the 'Honda' out until the end. Cadillac and Volvo had solid ads. Volvo should have different thing ad, if not two, as many people missed the early run. The congress also may have missed the details on their unique contest. But they did follow up with some net portal ads the day after. Ford's F-150 Biker spot was OK. Their line that 'it makes YOU tough,' really undercut the effectiveness.
