Touchdown:

  • GoDaddy.com - "Tank Top"
    I liked how they poked fun at last year's Janet Jackson incident.

  • FedEx - "Burt Reynolds, Super Bowl Cliches"
    Very funny spot , really made me laugh.

  • Tabasco's - Bikini
    This delivered on the brand. "When you want it hot, use Tabasco."

  • CareerBuilder.com - "I work with monkeys"
    Very funny spot about an otherwise diligent employee surrounded by difficult coworkers played by chimpanzees. I thought this was one of the most creative this year.

    Fumbles:

  • Bud Light - "Camera Phone"
    Bud light the biggest spender this year with five minutes of commercials I though came up short.

  • Budweiser - "Animals Who Want to Be"
    Disappointing to what they have done it the past.

  • Lay's - "MC"
    The commercial did nothing to tell me that Lay's are great potato chips. It's the use a celebrity with no relevant, believable tie to the product.
