Volkswagen

Two commercials in one, really. The first is a rejoinder to anyone who has already given up their New Year's resolution to lose weight (and there are many Super Bowl partiers this weekend in that category!). The second is a clever reminder of last year's Volkswagen commercial.

loved matthew broderick's rendition of his ferris bewler's day off for the super bowl commercial.. he still looks the same since the 1986 showing of ferris...a refreshing commercial that made you smile. great job getting the premise of the movie into that time frame for the commercial...a great example of a family super bowl commercial...

This year's I found were BETTER than last. Seinfeld ad was really good considering I'm not a Seinfeld or Leno fan. Matthew's Day Off was great. Volkswagen needs to get over "The Force". The exercising dog was cute but ruined by this 'Force' stuff. I also enjoyed the Suzuki ad with Eskimos and dogsled. Good ads and happy with the outcome of the game!

I noticed that GE spend a lot of money on Superbowl ads this year. I guess since they got a 3.2 billion dollar tax benefit in 2010 they can afford it. I'm also noticed they tried to play the "patriotic american company" card but 55% of their workforce is still overseas. What a crooked, immoral company. I own no GE products and will ever own any until they change.

The two Honda ones (Seinfeld/Leno and Matt B) weren't too bad but nothing like the quality of last years, "The Force".

Is this is all we got this year? Wow. I hope there are some other ones because the rest of these sucked pretty bad.

If these things cost like 3.5 million for 30 seconds I don't know what to say except, what a waste of money?

I guess quality doesn't scale. Like our health care system, the more it costs, the worse it gets.
