|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Fav Super Bowl Commericals Wendi Kaminski, Photographer, Student/Intern La Mirada | CA | USA | Posted: 12:46 AM on 02.06.06 ->> There were some really funny and creative stuff tonight on the commercials. Which one was your fav(s)? Mine was the Bud at the end of the evening. The stadium is full of people holding cards to make the bottle pour into the glass....amazingly creative. The other is the Sprint/Nextel where the guy uses his phone as a crime deterrent tool. Hilarious!  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

The Bud Cyldesdale Jr. went over well, in adition to the bug zapper in ICU  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

The rest were lame or dumb. I am with Jeff and Sam.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

My top 3 favorite: Clydesdale Jr. Crime Deterrent Phone Streaking Sheep BigDaddy.com had better commercials which ABC wouldn't play and instead played one that was a bit lame. For those who haven't followed this... BigDaddy had about 12 submissions, some actually filmed, some only story boarded, that were "banned" by ABC.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I have to throw a vote out there for the streaking sheep too. Anyone see "Boundin'", the Pixar short that played before "The Incredibles"? (http://www.pixar.com/shorts/bdn/index.html) The marketing world has finally realized that nekkid sheep are funny. Also liked Sprint's crime deterrent phone. I could see me doing that.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

With the cost of a 30 second spot over 2.5 million dollars, I think the networks have priced themselves out of business. Didn't you notice that there were as many or more commercials for movies and/or television shows as there were for products? And commercials for the NFL...come on, we're watching the SuperBowl, do we need ads for the league?  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

"Not my problem." -- and mine in real life that was the difference for me.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I would not be surprised to find out it was done by the same people who worked on the "Lemony Snicket's" movie.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
