    Part of the fun of watching the Super Bowl is to see the best efforts of corporate America to out advertize each other.

    Let us know what your favorite is. Feel free to change your mind as new ones come out.

    Just before the half time intermission, the best one I have seen was the Coke can that gets crushed while being substituted as a stunt double for the Pepsi can.

    How did Pepsi get away with that?

    Oh, my god! I have to change my vote.

    I have no idea if this is a local commercial or if it went nationwide.

    Rudy's BBQ just put out a commercial with BBQ sauce bottles similar to Budweiser did with Bud Bowl and beer bottles. However, Rudy's had the bottles run two of the plays in the Rose Bowl from earlier this year. The first play was the one with 2:13 left in the 4th Qtr. where the "White helmet" team (Rudy's BBQ labels on the bottles) stops the "Red helmet" team (California Hot Sauce on the labels) on 4th and 1 at the 44 yard line. The second play is with 0:26 left and the white team has 4th and goal. As he runs it in, the announcer says "Number 10 has done it again!"

    Now here is what makes this one so funny!!!!! The camera pans to "California Hot Sauce" cheerleaders where one is celebrating and two others are looking on.

    Was this shown anywhere else???

    I didn't see that one Tom, must have been Central Texas only!

    I liked the BubblyBrown one with P. Diddy and the can of Diet Pepsi.

    I liked the all the Budweiser commercials. Esp the Streaker Lamb, and the young Horse getting his first pull with unbeknowst to him his parents were helping!

    Definitely the young Clydesdale pulling the wagon. Head and shoulders above the rest.

    The worst? The Ameriquest hospital snafu. Horribly bad taste.

    I liked the one where the cornered hiker offers the angry bear his beer but his "buddie" streaks in and snatches the beer for himself...leaving his friend to fend off the bear who was getting docile at the thought of a cold one but now is very angry again.

    The FedEx cave man commercial wasn't bad.

    You didn't use FedEx? You're fired.

    But FedEx does not exist!

    Not my problem. :lol:

    Terry, re: PETF......LOL!

    My wife won't let me near the remote during the Super Bowl. She's doesn't want to miss any of the commercials.

    My favorite was the young Clydesdale.

    There were quite a few good ones, but I'm partial to the Clydesdales. The caveman Fed-Ex was pretty fun also.

    That P-Diddy diet papsi had the opposite effect on me. I'm a diet pepsi person, but I was really thinking I'd have to switch to coke after that. Somehow 'brown and bubbly' from a rapper's perspective didn't do it for me. I was a little disappointed in Pepsi's commercials in general this year.

    No comment on the Burger King's big dance production? I had no idea you could sexualize burger making quite that much. I would imagine guys that watched it wouldn't know if they wanted a burger or needed a smoke.

    I thought the bug in the hospital was pretty funny ...
