Super Bowl Highlights!

Yes I am glad the Giants won, moving on. All in all I enjoyed the commercials. I thought this year was not as good as last year, but still worth writing a blog post about. It was creative and interesting that a couple brands made slight references to their advertisements from last year namely Volkswagen & Chrysler. Volkswagen did a better job. I mean really, does Clint Eastwood think he can rival Eminem? I love both but last year's ad versus this year's ad gets my vote in the comparison. Here are those 2 spots.
Last Years:

This Years:

Which do you like better?

Now with Volkswagen, they did not show the ad The Bark Side which I previously blogged about. I was a bit upset since I really liked it, but the ad they did air was good and had some humor in reference to last year.

Here is the one that aired:

 This is the ad for those who missed it last year:

Now to my favorites. I loved when Chevy openly bashed Ford:

The Chevy happy grad. This went viral before the Super Bowl.

Since we are on the subject of automobile ads, Kia- A Dream Car in Real Life:
(This might be the extended version.)

Toyota Camry- Its Reinvented:

Hyundai- Think Fast:

As far as automobiles go these are in my top favorites. Which were yours? Stay tuned for more super bowl ads that are not just about cars.

Super Bowl Commercials!!!!!

Lets be honest here, SCREW the game lets eat food and watch the commercials! I am quite excited for the 2012 Super Bowl. Here is some of the ads that have been released early to create a Buzz. Which is working, Honda's Ferris Bueller ad was released recently and in one week  got 4 million hits. Here is the extended version. 

Do you like it? It is original and personally Ferris Bueller's Day Off is one of my favorite movies. I think the extended version drags on a little bit, but can't wait to see it commercial length while eating a beer bratwurst with chips and dip.

Next on the ad age list for viral Super Bowl Commercial is Volkswagen's The Bark Side. Very cute. They are keeping with their Star War's theme from last year. Love it.

Here is the list of viral Superbowl commercials. http://adage.com/article/the-viral-video-chart/surprise-honda-s-ferris-bueller-ad-watched-web/232489/ Enjoy!

Always Authentic.

I love these chips & I love this type. Out of all the tortilla chips Mission brands themselves as authentic by using their deep Mexican heritage. Advertising agency out of Sausalito, CA- Butler, Shine, Stern & Partners.

Killer Tracks

This is the logo/ ad for Killer Tracks, a production music company out of CA. It is original, I love the simplicity of this ad and the design is clever.
