------

okay. it's over. the pats won. i lost the grid thing. arrrrgh. and there really weren't any "stand out" ads after i wrote all that crap up there.

the emerald nuts ad was somewhat good. nice cgi.

mastercard's "priceless" ad with animated pitchcharacters (charlie tuna, the vlasic stork, mr. clean. etc. etc.) that was decent... cute.

bud light. cedric. designated driver dance. eh. i think my lip curled up in a half grin. not sure.

other than that. the commercials were ho-bloody-hum.
