Go (Ad) Teams!

PictureGoogle images for "Super Bowl Budweiser Ads" and "Mean Joe"
We recently spent two hours watching Super Bowl's Greatest Commercials. In between the show's featured ads and inane commentary were advertisements from sponsors who'd paid for time to run their own commercials during the program about commercials.

I'm embarrassed to admit I enjoyed it. Yes, the pointless, obviously scripted dialogue between the two hosts was irritating. Yes, the "tour" of San Francisco did a poor job showcasing that city's many attractions. And honestly, I didn't "get" some of the ads. But the ones that made me laugh ("Here, Wego!") or tugged at my heart strings ("Mean Joe") were worth the viewing - and the re-viewing. Budweiser clearly reigns supreme in creating classics; their canine and equine stars simultaneously instigate smiles and tears.

My football knowledge won't fill a beer stein; however, on Sunday I'll join the legions watching the big game. I'll be rooting for the commercials.

We taped that show and will probably watch tomorrow. I'll cheering for the same team that you are - I guess we can compare notes during the game!

I may resort to just recording them, Shel. That's a lot of chasing pigskin for a few laughs and "awwws" ;-)

I will, once again, seek out the commercials online. As for watching the game, my choices will be the Puppy Bowl and the Kitten Bowl. I don't do football...EVER! :)

Loved the Puppy Bowl, CMK. I know you're not a football girl; you're hit-em-with-the-puck kind of gal!

For the past few weeks, our pastor has been preaching on the subject of neighbors. Last Sunday, he showed the Budweiser ad where the Clydesdales save the little puppy from the wolf. (I think the point was to show how we should take care of our neighbors.) At the end, the Budweiser logo appeared big and bright on the screen, and there was a ripple of laughter across the congregation. This was a Methodist church. Would've never happened in the Baptist church I grew up in! :-)
