Well the Pats lost and who isn’t happy about that? While I am unqualified to talk about the game itself, I did catch a couple of the ads on Hulu. In fact, all of the ads are on Hulu right now. If you don’t have one, go get an account. NOW!
In short: Audi’s R8 Godfather was well played, Victoria’s Secret In the Mood for Love was uninspired, Gatorade’s Man’s Best Friend was dumb, the Planter’s Perfume spot made me chuckle, GoDaddy needs to stop running ads, and FedEx’s Carrier Pigeons was typical FedEx. I haven’t seen all the ads yet, so leave us a comment and tell us what your favorite was.
The Cola Wars were in full swing again this year as Coke Floats tried to dominate PepsiMax’s Baby Don’t Hurt Me. Pepsi might have jocked an old SNL joke - but it was a lot more exciting than a floating Coke bottle (or a Polar Bear for that matter). I can’t beleive Coke spent money making and airing this thing.
Pepsi’s Timerblake vs. Coke’s Making Friends went the other way. Coke comes out firmly on top. The cameos were better and the humor topical. JT is boring and watching his junk getting smashed into a mailbox is not appealing.
I’ll leave round 3 up to you. Baby Dont Hurt Me vs Making Friends:
