Best Superbowl Commercials?

Ugh.... had to watch that while I was working. Eye sweat.

Won't lie, this brought a tear to my eye

My daughters bring tears to my eyes when they fart like Clydesdales... jus' sayin'.

The security camera coke commercial was a little odd.

The Tide commercial about the stain that looked like Joe Montana was clever.

I still thought that this one was done well...

I'm not a vet so I could be way off base and if I am, Ill shut up forthwith, but does it ever feel like commercials like this are exploiting Vets and their sacrifices for a companies commercial gain?

I enjoyed the Taco Bell commercial with the elderly people on a night out from the nursing home.

As a vet, I wasn't offended by that commercial; Jeep does donate money to the USO, which is a worthy organization.

If it were something like "Veterans returning home prefer to buy the Jeep Wrangler with their separation money" or some other blatant sales pitch, I'd have a huge problem with it, but the vet in that ad just got into a Jeep to go home. I wouldn't expect the actor to get into a Ford in a commercial paid-for by Jeep.

I liked the Paul Harvey: Farmer commercial for Dodge Ram. But I'm a big Paul Harvey fan.

I liked the M&M playing meatloaf on the piano

The two Doritos commercials were pretty funny. The one with the goat for sale who ate bags and bags of Doritos. The better one was of the dad getting conned into playing dress up with his little girl with a bag of Doritos. One of dad's buddies getting dressed up in mom's wedding dress to eat Doritos was funny as hell.

For pulling at the heart strings it has to be the Jeep and Dodge (Farmer) bits.

Paul Harvey for Dodge second place. First place to the Clydesdale ad!

Im just glad my faith in the Lord had been restored by giving Ray Lewis a stage to spew his fucked up bullshit on. Im sure God had nothing better to do Ray than give you more accilades....what a fucked up world. The Budweiser commercial reminded me of that guy that raised a lion and then released it and went back years later and it recognized him, I think they lifted it from them but it was good.

Mark my words.....Ray Lewis will pull a Brett Favre and make a comeback next year. He's way too much of a narcissist to walk away from the spotlight while any NFL team is willing to employ him.

Iron Man 3 and Fast 6. Otherwise I thought the commercials blew. VW had a winner with the Darth Vader kid last year... What a let down this year.

Im going to disagree based soley on the fact the NFL is starting testing for HGH in 2013 and I would bet my balls hes been doing that for years and wouldnt be the player he is/was without it.

Again, he's too much of a narcissist to think he can't play without PED's.

I'm not saying his comeback will be successful, but I think it will happen, either in 2013 or 2014.

I hear ya, as the saying goes, "Beware the pull on your heartstrings, it's often the pursestrings that are actually being reached for". I guess it's case-by-case with me.

This Jeep commercial didn't set off any of my BS alarms. I also liked the Taco Bell one, and the Doritos goat was effin' funny.

Most of the good ones are in this article:

Just read a email from jeep, its a legit program run with the USO called Operation SAFE Return. I'm sure they want service men and women to buy jeeps but at least they are putting money where their mouth is.
