Since the Super Bowl was yesterday and there were some good commercials, we can talk about them on this thread. If you did not see the commercials go to sports.aol.com/nfl/superbowlads |

The Emerald Nuts commercial. Those are the best.
"Egotistical Normans love Emerald Nuts"
"Envious Nomads love Emerald Nuts"
and so on. I hadn't seen one before using all the letters though.

There was one in the Super Bowl using all the letters. It was kind of different. There were so many good commercials, but there were also some that were not funny at all.
Yes, people do talk about commercials. At my school that is what we did today during lunch and other free time. Even in some classes with the teachers.

I wouldn't know. I didn't watch it, and I don't go to school.

You didn't watch the Super Bowl?! Oh well, my team was not in it, so I just watched it for the commercials.

I see no point in watching grown men hurt each other for a dead pig while a nation watches.
Now, if someone I knew personally was chasing a dead pig, I would probably watch and cheer- they're my friend. But complete strangers payed exorbinant salaries for playing a game? I think not.

 Yea, another good commercial was the ESPN mobile commercial. "we ate non-organic foods, and liked them." You have no idea how much this hit home. We have nothing but organic food hanging around our house.

That was last year, but it was still good. I like the more funny ones. It seems like the beer companies usually win that one.

This year's commercials were just OK. There were some that were just plain dirty, some that were just stupid, and a few that made me laugh.
The Emerald Nuts one was funny. There was one about some druids doing something under the stairs (though I forget the actual words) using the letters in the brand name. That was pretty funny.

Go to the site I listed on the first reply and you can see all of the commercials again. I think the first quarter had the best commercials and then they went downhill from there.

Well, personally I don't watch the game for the commercials. I watch the game for the game. I don't like all the hype that gets going around Super Bowl time. I wish they had less commercials and more playing time. But I have to admit, the commercial can be entertaining at times.

Everyone should watch the football (soccer) World Cup this year. It's a lot better than watching American football and you never know, you might see the United States competing! (Team to look out for: Brazil - they're AMAZING)
