Advertisers would probably argue that they didn't get their game advertisments if they were shown during the blackout

When a national sports championship becomes all about the commercials on the broadcast, we're done! My point is made.

The Stupid Bowl has nothing whatever to do with football.

grilled cheese & other crazy crap people turn into religious symbols. Plus, it fit the event which many ads don't. Clever & funny.

The jerk sold his horse to a beer company so it can pull a wagon for the publicity. The other was just baaaaaad altogether.

The good ones were Amy Poehler for Best Buy and the Montanaland one. Those were awesome.

Once a horse is trained, he joins the team....and the trainer says goodbye.

It was still a bad commercial...very contrived and over-the-top sappy. I prefered the fun ones.

Because you had no idea what they were trying to sell until the very end.

I liked the Farm one but was a bit off putting.

Budweiser is horrible beer but they do make the best commercials. I didn't get the point of the farmer's ad for Dodge trucks.

We have been farming our place for over 120 years and we (my husband, adult son and me) all liked the ad.

I'm disappointment, but not surprised, that, judging by the posts on other threads about the ad, people here are clueless about farmers and farming in general.

I liked the Chrysler ad because of the photography. I thought it was better than the Clint Eastwood ad last year.
