The only commercial that I even somewhat liked was just after the game - MC Hammer's "You Can't Touch This" as his house is foreclosed - but since I don't remember the advertiser, it really didn't do its job.

This year is the 30th anniversary of when I discovered the Beatles. Sure, since I was born in the middle of Beatlemania I always knew who they were. I just didn't
get it until 1975. Considering the powers that be wanted a fool-proof and safe halftime show, who better than Sir Paul?
BTW, that Hammer commercial was for Nationwide Insurance. I thought it was cute. The Mastercard spot with the Jolly Green Giant, Count Chocula, etc wasn't a good MC spot, but oh it was fun to see all those characters of my childhood again. Loved all of the NFL network ones. Best commercial of the night was the "Tomorrow" one, from an entertainment and marketing standpoint.
I'm wondering, did some marketing research firm declare that monkeys were advertising gold this year? If so, fire the research monkeys because they were wrong.
It's rather interesting to watch the Super Bowl with a marketing professional (DH). I loved the new Mustang commerical the 1st time it aired, and he promptly dissected it for me
Of course, once it ran 258 times I was sick of the spot and the car.
