So far, Darth Vader

I liked that one. We called the Apple users "iBots" here.

Finally watched them online. (I didn't pay attention to any commercials Sunday night.)

The only ones I really liked were the Darth Vader/VW and the Bridgestone Reply All commercials. Otherwise . . . meh.

I thought the Audi was a brilliant piece of camp and satire. "Escape the confines of old luxury"....awesome tagline.

There was some funny details in there I loved it when the old guy grabs the (now extinct) dodo bird to prop the gate up, and the "hounds" are these expensive, chi chi high end long-haried, beautiful dogs.

"Lancaster...it's a trap"...ha ha ha. And all of the language that the actors used was perfect: The lady with the face pack on: "Scandalous!" and the parting shot: "I've been hoodwinked!!". HA HA HA HA...awesome.

The Darth Vader commercial is really cute, but I think the commercial that hands-down was the best is the Chrysler/Eminem commercial. I think it was beautifully shot, and was really moving and powerful. It has generated so much buzz, and even though the brand itself kind of took a back seat to the city of Detroit and Eminem, it has certainly gotten Chrysler's name out there.

I dunno. I tuned it out completely. More than once. (As in, I was watching it on YouTube and kept backing up because I realized I'd stopped paying attention.)

I think unless you already had a connection to/affinity for Detroit or are a huge Eminem fan, it was a very easy commercial to ignore.

I'll agree that unless you have a connection to/affinity for Detroit it was easy to ignore. For those of us who do, it was really great :)

And I thought of you when I saw it.*


* Another sign of spending to much time on GC.

I've just looked at the VW, Audi, and Chrysler commercials, as I'd forgotten that we were supposed to be paying attention to commercials during the SB (damn you TiVO). So I liked the Beaver one the best, followed by the Chrysler--that was an awesome commercial.

Loved the Beaver one, Reply All, the pug one, House, and the new Fast&Furious (Fast 5?). The rest were meh.

I feel like a wrestler at a folding chair factory!!

The Carmax commercial makes me snicker every time.

Didn't/still don't know what Eminim looked like.

Loved Darth Vader, the one where the girl is accidently knocked bench, the old folks home.

Disappointed in the Clydesdale ad.

Detroit was the Paris of the Midwest and Chicago didn't have shit on Detroit until the after the 1950's. :cool:
