Superbowl 2009 - ADS
What was your favorite Superbowl commercial in 2009? I think Bridgestone owned the advertising space! My top ads for 2009 are:
- Bridgestone - "Jump Around" and "Squirrel" and "Mr. Potato"
- Cocacola - "Picnic"
- Doritos - "Crystal ball" and "Power of the Crunch"

The story didn't particularly fit for a cars ad, but they made it work.[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqT2xbODNr8]Something I noticed this year, as a common theme was violence. A little violence for the sake of laughter can work. It did for me, specially on the Doritos and Pedigree Ads. I wonder if market research departments around the nation discovered that violence and stupidity work. It works for TV show Jackass, America's Funniest Videos, and hundreds of video games. There is a mysterious relationship between humanity and violence.The E-trade babies and Career Builder ads continue to crack me up!Godaddy wins the most crappy TV spot. I wonder how many people actually went online to "watch the rest..." I would reevaluate strategy...urgently.Needless to say it was a great game, packed with tons of energy and enthusiasm!
