Superbowl Ads I

SUPERBOWL-42-LOGO.gif The Superbowl has come and gone, and the NY Giants’ surprising 17-14 upset over the Patriots has been called one the best games in history.  As exciting as the game was to many, I prefer watching the commercials.  Unfortunately, they don’t show the same commercials here in Canada, so I got to repeatedly see ads for upcoming CTV shows.  This year, the NFL and Fox rightly anticipated peoples fascination with, and demand for, the ads by creating a MySpace page preloaded with all the ads, broken down quarter by quarter (nice tie-in by Fox of their key online media property).  They even advertised it during the game.  Check it out at

For the geeks, Valleywag has also compiled a list of the Top 10 most memorable tech-oriented Super Bowl commercials ads ever here.

Warning: Do not watch the dreadful, yawn inducing, Sales Genie ads. I don’t think there is anything remotely memorable about them, which leads me to believe they sponsor Valleywag.
