That ad made me want to go to Sea World and see the Clydesdales. Oddly, I have no recollection of the Google ad - need to go look it up.

I know you also had Connie's funeral so I wonder if others not in our situation found it funny at all. I just thought it was in poor taste. I however, liked the Ninja one. My favorite was the Favre one followed closely by the Bud lost spoof, and the Jay, Oprah, and Dave one.

A little scary.
Originally Posted By ecdc Aw man! I'd never seen Lost, then I watched the recap episode and was kind of intrigued, so I watched the first two episodes this season. Now I'm not cool and all aloof.

Doesn't necessarily mean you're nasty or evil... some people just don't get those warm fuzzies with puppies and kittens. SB has mostly become a snore for me. I used to watch it religiously, from beginning to end. The commercials were some of the best ever produced, especially during the dot com era. But now? I get bored before halftime, and typically switch over to Animal Planet before the second half begins. Peyton Manning was more entertaining on SNL: <a href="http://www.hulu.com/watch/1603/saturday-night-live-united-way" target="_blank">http://www.hulu.com/watch/1603...ited-way</a>

The ones where you have to just KNOW the url, as they intentionally make them difficult to find. Because, you know, otherwise they wouldn't be cool. Dave, you missed my smiley/raspberry.

Originally Posted By davewasbaloo Hate football, think it is overrated, think it is a shame overpaid airheads are held aloft as hereos and grown men go on about their high school glory days.

Originally Posted By NikkiLOVESMickey The Super Bowl gives people (and this year, a whole flinging-flanging city) pleasure and a release from the woes of everyday life. It's entertaining and helps people relax, just like movies, art, and music do. And to characterize them all as "overpaid airheads" is stereotypical and simple minded. I know I keep going on about the Saints, but many of the guys on that team (especially Drew Brees) have established charitable organizations to help the area, including rebuilding schools, hospitals, and helping people rebuild their homes. Additionally, several have set up charities to help rebuild Haiti. But they're just overpaid airheads, right?
