Since the game was such a snooze... here is ADWEEK's top 10

ADWEEK

10. TurboTax
9. Volkswagen - Wings
8. RadioShack - The 80s called
7. Coca-Cola - It's Beautiful
6. Chrysler - America's Import
5. T-mobile - Tim Tebow
4. Microsoft - Empowering
3. Hundai - Dad's Sixth Sense
2. Cheerios - Gracie
1. Budweiser - Puppy Love

I agree with the top 2.
Hundai, Microsoft, T-Mobile, Volkswagen, TurboTax - all meh.
RadioShack should have been 3, Coke #4
Chrysler? Bragging about being American? They should be forced to watch reruns of the game...in super slow motion.

I was so bored with the game, that I didn't pay attention to the commercials.

Coke completely sucked, I skipped the Cheerios.

I must have missed Hyundai sixth sense, I did like the one w/ the guy from Big Bang theory.

From what I can remember
Good ads:
Budweiser (Bud lite sucked)
Radio Shack
Volkswagon
Hyundai

Terrible ads:
Coke
Honda (Bruce Willis hug)
Butterfinger squares (seriously? cheat on your spouse is an ad?)

I liked the Oikos yogurt one with the guys from Full House.
Both Budweiser commercials.
The Audi commercial with the dogs was pretty good.
The Tebow commercials were good.

I thought the Oikos commercial was low class. Yes, my 9 year old saw that.

There were 2 of them.. One where they contemplated moving into different houses.. Then the last one with him dropping yogurt on his pants..

As a child of the 80s, I did enjoy the Radio Shack one.

Yes, but it made me feel old to explain the commercial to my kids.

My wife is as prudish as they come, and she didn't get offended at that ad. I was a bit surprised that she didn't object, although now that I think about it, I don't think our 10 y.o. saw it.

I didn't recognize the Full House guys first time thru, she did.

This year they where all pretty bad, but if I had to pick one it would be the bud commercial!

Agreed. Most of the commercials were really lame. I did laugh at the Tebow ones though. Good for him for being able to make fun of himself.

I had to watch the Radio Shack ad on youtube multiple times to catch all the references.

By my count:

Mary Lou Retton
Eric Estrada
Cliff Clavin
Qbert
Hulk Hogan
Alf
Friday the 13th Jason
Devo
Sgt. Slaughter
Slim Goodbody

I didn't see all of them, but I did see Kid from Kid n Play. Play was there too according to write up I saw on yahoo.

I found "behind the scenes" video with brief interviews of some participants (and made my new avatar from the superbowl version)
