I actually liked how Motorola basically used a 1983/4 Apple add for their tablet. i also really thought the House commercial which was a spoof of the Mean Joe Green/Coke ad was great!
VW/Audi and Goodrich were really cute too. Overall, though I really wasn't all that impressed by the commercials. I haven't watched the Super Bowl in years (for the game or the commercials) and the commercials did nothing. . .I also thought there were WAY too many movie previews.

YES! Motorola used Apple's "1984" Super Bowl ad against itself! It's totally true - Mac is the new IBM/Microsoft. It was a brilliant ad, for those who were paying attention. Unfortunately I think not enough people were probably paying close enough attention.

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.

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.

The Carmax commercial makes me snicker every time.
