					<description><![CDATA[BY MIKE WOLVERTON SPORTS GUY So the Saints won. That was cool and all. Tracy Porter’s 4th-quarter interception return might have been the biggest “We Just Won The Super Bowl” moment ever. From totally in doubt to virtually assured in four seconds. Congrats, NOLA. I’ve always wanted to write a Super Bowl Commercial Review, because the one in the USA Today is shit. So here goes. A true Super Bowl Ad can only air while the game is being played. Pregame and Halftime ads are out. Forget the “straight” ones too…the car commercials (3), Movie trailers (5), TV Promos (21) [&#8230;]]]></description>

That was cool and all. Tracy Porter’s 4</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">-quarter interception return might have been the biggest “We Just Won The Super Bowl” moment ever. From totally in doubt to virtually assured in four seconds. Congrats, NOLA. I’ve always wanted to write a Super Bowl Commercial Review, because the one in the USA Today is shit. So here goes. A true Super Bowl Ad can only air while the game is being played. Pregame and Halftime ads are out. Forget the “straight” ones too…the car commercials (3), Movie trailers (5), TV Promos (21) and others that just aren’t going for a laugh (13). The rest were trying to be funny, and I’ve given them a ranking from 0-10. Anything that scored a five or higher I considered funny. And by that tally, unfunny was the winner, 28-21. You can check them all out <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/02/07/super-bowl-commercials-2010_n_452800.html" title="asdfasdfa" target="_blank" rel="noopener">HERE</a>. And now, the blow-by-blow:</span></font></p>

<p style="margin: 0pt"><font size="2"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><strong>Bud Light Beer House</strong></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">: 4. Had potential</span></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0pt"><font size="2"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><strong>Snickers pickup football</strong></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">: 8. Yes. Betty White is funny. Abe Vigoda is still alive? I originally gave this one a 7, but had to adjust the curve upwards after the dreck that followed.</span></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0pt"><font size="2"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><strong>Tim Tebow with mom</strong></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">: 0. Awful. Back-to-back women getting tackled ads? I liked Tim Tebow until now</span></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0pt"><font size="2"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><strong>Boost Mobile Shuffle</strong></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">: 5. Not bad. Or should I say, That’s Fresh</span></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0pt"><font size="2"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><strong>Doritos Bark Collar</strong></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">: 2. Poor. Dogs cannot operate clasp-locks</span></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0pt"><font size="2"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><strong>Doritos Keep your hands off my mama</strong></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">: 4. Almost funny. That kid is too young to be saying that</span></font><img decoding="async" src="http://www.phawker.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/ctsb.thumbnail.jpg" alt="ctsb.thumbnail.jpg" title="ctsb.thumbnail.jpg" align="right" border="0" height="128" width="118" /></p>
<p style="margin: 0pt"><font size="2"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><strong>Bud Light Asteroid Party</strong></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">: 5. Just cut it. Smart casting the Dharma Initiative guy</span></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0pt"><font size="2"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><strong>NCIS Head Slap</strong></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">: 3. Maybe it would be funnier if I’d ever seen that show</span></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0pt"><font size="2"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><strong>Coke Monty Burns Bankrupt</strong></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">: 3. Love the Simpsons, but this ad blew</span></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0pt"><font size="2"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><strong>Go Daddy Girl</strong></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">: 2. If I have to go to the Internet to see more, I’ll go somewhere other than Go Daddy and </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><em>really</em></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"> see something.</span></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0pt"><font size="2"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><strong>Doritos in the casket</strong></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">: 3. Oh-for-three for Doritos.</span></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0pt"><font size="2"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><strong>Bud Light with T-Pain</strong></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">: 5. Not quite sure why I found this funny. And now I know who T-Pain is.</span></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0pt"><font size="2"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><strong>Monster Beaver Violinist</strong></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">. 2. I get it. Beavers don’t play violin. Ha</span></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0pt"><font size="2"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><strong>Bridgestone Orca</strong></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">: 5. Should be lower, but saved by the “It’s in my mouth!” line</span></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0pt"><font size="2"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><strong>Cars.com guy saves the cheerleaders</strong></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">: 3. Not into that whole premise</span></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0pt"><font size="2"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><strong>Budweiser Truck Human Bridge</strong></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">: 5. I was on the fence until the last line</span></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0pt"><font size="2"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><strong>Late Show Letterman/Oprah/Leno</strong></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">: 5. I laughed, so there was something funny in there. Why is Leno doing a self-deprecating ad on CBS?</span></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0pt"><font size="2"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><strong>Career builder Casual Friday</strong></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">: 6. Lumpy bodies in underwear = funny</span></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0pt"><font size="2"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><strong>Dockers “Wear no pants”</strong></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">: 1. Back-to-back underwear commercials?</span></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0pt"><font size="2"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><strong>Hyundai Brett Favre</strong></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">: 6. Football-related and sorta funny. Qualifies as a winner among this crop.</span></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0pt"><font size="2"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><strong>Bud Light “Lost”</strong></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">: 4. Not quite.</span></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0pt"><font size="2"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><strong>Dove for Men</strong></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">: 5 “Honey open this jar” struck a nerve.</span></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0pt"><font size="2"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><strong>Dodge Charger</strong></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">: 5. Again, I’m married, so they got me with “I will watch your Vampire TV shows with you”.</span></font><img decoding="async" src="http://www.phawker.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/ctsb.thumbnail.jpg" alt="ctsb.thumbnail.jpg" title="ctsb.thumbnail.jpg" align="right" border="0" height="128" width="118" /></p>
<p style="margin: 0pt"><font size="2"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><strong>TeleFlora Flowers in a Box</strong></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">: 3. She looked like a pain in the ass</span></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0pt"><font size="2"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><strong>Dr. Pepper Mini Kiss</strong></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">: 2. I grant you Mini Kiss is funny, but not in this ad</span></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0pt"><font size="2"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><strong>TruTV Punxsutawney Polamalu</strong></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">: 3. Back-to-back midget ads?</span></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0pt"><font size="2"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><strong>FloTV Spine Removed</strong></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">: 4. Should have gotten there, don’t know what happened.</span></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0pt"><font size="2"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><strong>Intel Robot</strong></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">: 4. Cute. Not funny</span></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0pt"><font size="2"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"> </span></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0pt"><font size="2"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><strong>Halftime show</strong></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">: Daltrey looks older than Townshend. What a coup getting Nigel Tufnel to play drums. And I never knew Paul Shaffer was in The Who. Now I do.<br />
</span></font>
</p>
<p style="margin: 0pt"><font size="2"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"> </span></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0pt"><font size="2"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><strong>Motorola girl in tub</strong></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">: 6. Gotta give it to any ad that plays the “boy in bathroom masturbating” card. Was I supposed to know who that woman was?</span></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0pt"><font size="2"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><strong>Volkswagon punch buggy</strong></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">: 4. Even Stevie Wonder couldn’t make this a winner. </span></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0pt"><font size="2"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><strong>Denny’s free Grand Slam</strong></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">: 4. I wanted to like this ad, especially after the shot of the chicken playing pool. But that was all it had. </span></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0pt"><font size="2"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><strong>Homeaway.com with the Griswolds</strong></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">: 7. “Complementary with an e. It complements the room. It’s not free.” Good stuff.</span></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0pt"><font size="2"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><strong>Bridgestone or your wife</strong></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">: 4. How does a 4</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">-rate tire company afford these ads?</span></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0pt"><font size="2"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><strong>KGB Sumo wrestler</strong></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">: 4. Almost funny, but if you are giving me Sumo wresting, then I want a fat fucking yokozuna, not a 255 pounder.</span></font><img decoding="async" src="http://www.phawker.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/ctsb.thumbnail.jpg" alt="ctsb.thumbnail.jpg" title="ctsb.thumbnail.jpg" align="right" border="0" height="128" width="118" /></p>
<p style="margin: 0pt"><font size="2"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><strong>Coke African sleepwalker</strong></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">: 3. Not buying it</span></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0pt"><font size="2"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><strong>Etrade talking baby</strong></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">: 2. Talking babies are creepy. Especially those who are gettin’ some on the side</span></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0pt"><font size="2"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><strong>2010Census.gov</strong></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">: 6. I laughed</span></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0pt"><font size="2"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><strong>Kia with toys come to life</strong></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">: 6. I have kids so any Yo Gabba Gabba tie-in works for me. As long as it isn’t Foofa or Toodie.</span></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0pt"><font size="2"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><strong>Vizio Internet Aps</strong></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">: 7. Perhaps this ad should be filed under “not trying to be funny”, but it did throw in the Numa Numa guy. One of the most interesting of the night.</span></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0pt"><font size="2"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><strong>Emerald + Pop Secret Human Dolphins</strong></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">: 6. This ad is trying hard to be the funniest one in the room. Still, pretty good.</span></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0pt"><font size="2"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><strong>Budweiser Clydesdale with bull</strong></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">: 0. Just fucking stupid. The majesty of the Clydesdales dumbed down another notch.</span></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0pt"><font size="2"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><strong>Denny’s chickens Part II</strong></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">: 5. Likeable enough. Its Denny’s, I have to cut them some slack.</span></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0pt"><font size="2"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><strong>Audi Green Police</strong></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">: 6. Tough to pull off a funny car ad. Well done.</span></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0pt"><font size="2"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><strong>Taco Bell Charles Barkley</strong></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">: 7. I </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><em>love</em></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"> Taco Bell, so I was already sold. Add in Charles Barkley rhyming Dr. Seuss-style and cool set design and I’m running for the border for lunch tomorrow.</span></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0pt"><font size="2"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><strong>Doritos Ninja Gym Warrior</strong></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">: 7. Doritos tries to save their night but is it too late? This was funny.</span></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0pt"><font size="2"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><strong>Bud Light Book Club</strong></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">: 0. What?</span></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0pt"><font size="2"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><strong>Etrade Crying Babies</strong></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">: 1. A bad trend that each add has successively more talking babies.</span></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0pt"><font size="2"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><strong>Go Daddy Talk Show</strong></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">: 2. Tired.</span></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0pt"><font size="2"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><strong>Denny’s Birthday Grand Slam</strong></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">: 2. No more slack for Denny’s.</span></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0pt"><font size="2"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"> </span></font><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="http://www.phawker.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/superbowl-ad.jpg" alt="superbowl-ad.jpg" title="superbowl-ad.jpg" align="absmiddle" border="0" height="292" width="520" /></p>
<p style="margin: 0pt"><font size="2"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">And the winner is….Snickers. The funniest thing I saw all night was Betty White in the huddle, face covered in mud, saying, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bme_eUnq74" title="jljljlj" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“C’mon man, you been ridin’ me all day”</a>. The second funniest was Betty White yelling, “That’s not what your girlfriend says!” Loser: the Clydesdales. I expect Bud Light ads to be dumb, but the Clydesdales? When those horses saw that script, they must have thought, “Why don’t you just put me in a taxi to the glue factory instead.”</span></font></p>
