Ralonzo Posted February 3, 2014 Author Posted February 3, 2014 9:49pm 2 minute warning 1) Oh GIVE IT UP with there friggin' Bud Clydesdales. You've been doing the same damn ads since, what, XXX? 2) It's a well oiled world on Go Daddy. 3) Red headed stepchildren get ridden down by a Mastiff, for Doritos. I didn't say it had to make sense.
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 I think Tebow may have found his gig. Thought his commercials were some of the best, but also thought all around this was the worst year of commercials ever.

BillsFan-4-Ever Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Was that really the Dynobots in Transformers 4? Yes they were. I turned the game off in the middle of the 3rd QTR. Even though I wanted to see the commercials the game had nothing left in it to interest me. in poor taste, at least to me, to hear America the Beautiful used as a promotional tool for such a crappy product like sugar water/Coca Cola. Even more insulting to use some sort of universal diversity type idea as the tool for the song. Sorry we speak English here. gotta be one or two in the crowd. What is America made up of? Immigrants. Immigrants that speak different languages.

Even though I wanted to see the commercials the game had nothing left in it to interest me. gotta be one or two in the crowd. What is America made up of? Immigrants. Immigrants that speak different languages. yep. We are just flag waving, patriotic homers. Can't stand the minorities. Need to close the borders and build fences. We hate everyone. Dude. Come on. If this was a game with international appeal. An event which would be watched by a diverse crowd. Something of actual importance to this world. It would be different. Its the Super Bowl. Playing what the rest of the world calls American Football. So why the hell does anything else but America matter? And since we are so great. Ya know, immigrants and all, cool. But we export our products and image. I am not cool with propping up celebs to tout products like Coke. We are one overweight country. We have so many issues beyond that but why do we sit here and believe Beyonce drinks Pepsi? Or whoever drinks coke? Outside of this country soft drinks are not that popular, compared to this country, at least. Using a fake image of Uhmerika to prop up a fake drink that creates real Americans while pandering to some international crowd reeks of stupidity. The only worse example yesterday was BOA and Apple teaming up and spending how many millions to pay U2 to give away a song for free? For every download paid for they'll donate to AIDS research...why not just donate a flat rate and cut the crap out of the middle?

I thought the commercial reeked of insincere pandering, but I'm certain the point was that America is diverse and should be celebrated as such, not that Coke was appealing to an international audience.

bobobonators Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 (edited) Super Bowl commercials were HORRIBLEEEE Edited February 3, 2014 by bobobonators
Chef Jim Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 gotta be one or two in the crowd. What is America made up of? Immigrants. Immigrants that speak different languages. Yup made up of immigrants you are correct. What would have had a much grater impact had they sung the song in English with their native language's accent.
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 (edited) I'm all for speaking English in schools, in public offices and in gov't offices. The commercial wasn't as "pathetic" as was posted. Like I posted earlier, this is better discussed on the PPP. Edited February 3, 2014 by BillsFan-4-Ever
stuckinny Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Loved reading the recap, would read again! My kids thought the the TIme machine one was the toats macgoats! Not one commercial really stood out to me though!

There is no need for the almighty bait of PPP. My response was of social beliefs. I have nothing more to say in haven't said and if you need the guise of PPP to state yoursef then I suggest you rethink what you want to or need to say in order to say it without the protection of the dark basement. Believing that sugar drinks have no reason to be promoted by athletes and celebs that do not drink them while commercials air in foreign languages... I guess to you that means something different. But football and pop are american plain and simple
Mark Vader Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 The Jaguar commercial was nicely done. Though it really needed Ian McKellen or Christopher Lee in it. Oh man, that would have made it the best commercial of the day.

But football and pop are american plain and simple social beliefs ...... Who's social beliefs? Yours or the 300 million adult people in the US? FYI Coke and Pepsi have been staples of Super Bowl ads well before you were born. Pittsburgh Steelers legend "Mean Joe" Greene did a Coke commercial, which premiered late in 1979. Getting away from sugar based (laced) pop commercials. What about all the Budweiser commercials promoting alcoholism?
Heitz Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 6:52pm, Heitz says "Captain Checkdown" 1) Dreamworks Need For Speed. Looks like me trying to get home from work. Was that Aaron Paul? "Faster, B word!" 2) Prom commercial, TurboTax, guy gets his date stolen by Crispin Glover. 3) The Strain... is that like, 28 Days Later The Series? Oh s**t - a callout on the first page! Little did we know that Payton would have a full on Edward's like meltdown... Great commercial reviews Ralonzo, you were spot on most of the time! IMO this was one of the worst years ever for commercials - I'm not even sure I have a favorite spot and I'm a marketer who's client is one of the biggest spenders at the game. All in all it was much like the game itself, a big old "Meh".

Getting away from sugar based (laced) pop commercials. What about all the Budweiser commercials promoting alcoholism? Americans are idiots. I'd delve in to that but it'd get ugly. Its not just Americans. Its people. Anyway. As chef points out. Drinking a beer doesn't mean youre an alcoholic. Or even after just 1 beer doesn't mean you're drunk. However. I will attempt to continue on your failed logic You must be 21 to drink. Able to make the decision of what you're doing. But its still bad calories, promoting a poor lifestyle and I don't agree with it either. Most of those beers are mass consumer beers and taste like crap anyway. We don't need to be consuming sugar at the rate we do.
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 (edited) So if you purchase and drink beer you're an alcoholic? Nice Try chef.if pimping Coke and Pepsi promotes overweight FAT people, well then, what you said. I worked with a guy that loaded his plate to overflowing then ordered a diet soda. It's not always the sugar sweetened soda. I have traveled across the globe (well before you were born jboyst62). PEOPLE all over the world drink Soda. Look up Inca Kola for example. Better yet let me help you http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inca_Kola It is a soft drink that was created in Peru in 1935. remind me again.... when did obesity became a problem? and when was the last era in which sports people didn't do drugs for enhanced performance?
