SUPERBOWL COMMERCIAL RE-CAP
February 3, 2008 4:07 PM

welcome to my superbowl commercial re-cap! i'll be posting the list and details to all of the commercials throughout the course of the game (basically, from national anthem/coin toss thru final whistle.) it's gonna be a long post!

POST - GAME COMMERCIAL ANALYSIS - the GIGGLECHICK TOP 3:

1. Bridgestone Tires - Screaming Animals!!

2. Budweiser - Hank the Clydesdale in training

3. Tide to Go - Silence the Stain and CareerBuilder's "Follow your heart" (yeah it's a tie)

those are my picks... nothing else stood out to me at all really... nothing that made me guffaw (except the squirrel)

Watch & Rank the ads here on msnbc (of course, feel free to leave a comment on my site too!!)
click here for the clips

4:10pm i've finished an entire large bag of Herr's baked cheese curls... so, i'm typing with orange-stained fingers.

they JUST played one of the "deaf ads" for PepsiCo Enable. I was typing and had just set my clicker down and the sound went off... or so i thought. Then I looked up and saw the ad with the subtitles and sign language. it was cute --- it was the "pre-kickoff pepsi deaf ad"

we've got about an hour and 45 minutes to go 'til kickoff...

so, i've gotta decide if i want to crack open the Ruffles and the onion dip OOOOORRRRR if i wanna go for the Tostidos and salsa con queso...

(saving the Doritos and my chicken cordon bleu bites for later...)

-----------------

4:21pm paula abdul caterwauling. introduced by ryan seacrest. WHYYYYYYYYY? just stop. (can someone say "lip synching"?) what the eff is with that hat???

-----------------

4:58pm alicia keyes is now singing and telling me to put my hands in the air. I can't because I am now eating the chicken cordon bleu bites... which are dangerous because they have molten swiss cheese in them.

when i think football, i think of Alicia Keyes' "falling in and out of love with you" or whatever the title is.

-----------------

5:27pm gigglemom just was injured by the cordon bleu bites. molten swiss cheese sticks... and burns.

-----------------

not an advert. just the start --- a reading of the Declaration of Independence... with many different folks in the NFL or related to NFLians reading it. I didn't catch what led into this, but, I think i heard a mention of voting on tuesday or something. with the "I am an American" --- ah. got it... it's dedicated to the troops.

[note from GC: crap! see i don't have the sound on on my laptop and didn't know there was automatic sound with that game... will fix...]




TOUCHDOWN GIANTS!!!!!!!!!


If I eat ONE MORE THING....Im going to EXPLODE!!!




I liked the pixar commercial and felt the same way about it being like Number 5




Yeah Giants.....even though they arent my team (Eagles)and I would NEVER back them otherwise...Im glad the Patriots didnt win....how funny was the guy jumpstarting the car with his man boobs.....I think thats the only one I laughed out loud at.....although I missed alot of them while I was preparing snacks lol... Enjoyed the play by play...your fingers must hurt from all the typing...




Oops, my g/f & I missed 3/4 of the game watching Puppy Bowl instead
OMG Giants win! :D
Wait, manboobs what?

[note from GC: I ate my pierogies while i watched the Puppy Bowl!!! I love that thing. so cute!!!]




The salesgenie.com commercial, I felt the one w/ the pandas was a tad bit racist. Reminded me of Krusty the Klown's "Me so Sowwy!" bit from the episode where Krusty sold out, but not in a good way.

I know they weren't technically commercials, but I loved the cut-ins showing the Fox football robot fighting with the Terminator.
