Open Poll
Alright, let's get the whole game out there, MVP of the game: Refs for the Steelers, great job delivering the game. When it's obvious to a cross-country runner who fences, you're doing a horrible job of calling the game.
But altogether more importantly, Super Bowl Commercials, where do you stand? Let's get some thoughts out there, either your top three, five, favorite, whatever, just post what you think and I'll tell you exactly why monkeys in ties are better. And who's nephew thought up clydesdales so that we couldn't move on to a fresh idea in the last nine years? Thanks to that, I hate horses.
Top Five Commercials: (probably in no order)
1. Sprint- Crime Deterrent
2. Both with the "Don't Judge to quickly" tagline -defeating the purpose of the commercial if I can't remember your product (minus 3 points)
3. Fed-Ex Caveman
4. Sierra Mist- Airport Security, nice job Kathy Griffin, I'm bumping you to C-list
5. Monkeys that work at the office

Unexpected Awww Effect: Budweiser's Pony pulling the wagon
That's mostly it. And thats the same thing I was going to post about so instead, I'm just linking to Josh's blog tonight. How do you like THEM Apples!
-the fed-ex caveman was the best.
-i liked the pepsi commercial with jackie chan purely because they smashed the diet coke....lol
generally speaking though, the commercials have REALLY gone down in quality for the super bowl, which seems stupid considering they are paying 2.5 million per minute! i was disappointed by how many commercials weren't new at all, but just old recycled ones that i see all the time...bummer.
as for the game- YAY steelers :0) being from PA, the steelers are my number 2 team so their win was great though not a surprise.
and seriously, the rolling stones....i am starting to doubt they are going to die...EVER....sigh
From now on when I say "there's an orgy in my mouth" I'm referencing the Whopperette's. It's good that I now have a clear mental picture for this, as I say it about twice a day. For things not necessarily related to the statement at all.
Example 1:
"Hello, how are you"
"Great, it's like there's an orgy in my mouth."
Example 2:
"Hello sir, welcome to Carrollton Bank* what can I help you with?"
"Well, there's this orgy in my mouth..."
Fantastic. I hold that the phrase is only mildly sexual, and therefore appropriate in any situation. Thank you for your time, and God Bless America.

P.S. What was your post about? I just started writing a comment and got carried away.
* PRODUCT PLACEMENT
I agree with most sentiments here. Fed-Ex really nailed it, as the Careerbuilder monkeys and jackasses (what, no bird in a cage?) I also dug the Sprint commercials (crime deterrent and Benny Hill homage with the couch on fire). You can never go wrong with Yakity Sax.
Tara and I also expressed embarassment at being moved by the Clysedales pushing the wagon. We didn't want to be affected, but we couldn't help it.
The Whopperettes clearly were a failure. You blew it, Brooke Burke. There goes your sterling reputation of only working on high-quality projects.
I laughed off my seat at the crime deterrent phone, and also liked the Budwiser commercial where the guy falls through the leaky roof. Mostly because pain=funny to me.
The room (a.k.a. my roommates and friends) collectively agreed that the cavemen were the best, then the dead fly. Again, pain=funny.
But half of them missed the cell phone, and it's not as funny when I retell it...
