[NinjaPoodle]

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.*

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.

[sceniczip]

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

[AOII Angel]

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

The Carmax commercial makes me snicker every time.

[Sadfly]

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.
