Superbowl Commercials - the good, the bad and the just plain dumb
Why commercials did you love or hate?

It’s the day after the Super Bowl and you know what everybody is talking about: the commercials! (OK, and maybe Santonio Holmes).

I thought the commercials this were OK. There were a few standouts, a few that were complete duds, and a few that I had already seen before. Remember when Superbowl commercial were all original? Why were we seeing some older commercials?

But I digress. The commercials I liked: The Bridgestone commercial where Mrs. Potato Head loses her lips and Mr. Potato Head keeps driving; Conan O’Brien’s "only in Sweden" Budlight commercial; and the Doritos crystal ball commercial.

The ones I didn’t like: The Casterol oil commercial with the "grease monkey king"; most of the Coke commercials, which weren’t funny or that cute; and E-Trade’s baby commercial, they have never been funny.

The commercial I loved: The careerbuilder.com commercial "It may be time" to find a new job. Has punching koalas ever been so funny?

Here’s a story from Fox Sports talking about which commercials they thought were the best and the worst.

USA Today is letting readers rate the ads.

Right now the Doritos crystal ball commercial is in first place, followed closely by Budweiser’s Clydesdale circus rescue. The lowest ranked is Vizio’s TV commercial (I don’t even remember this one). Hyundai and Toyota fared slightly better, but not much.
