The Guacamole Report: The Chips and Dips of Superbowl XLIV
Posted by Adam Kleinberg on February 08, 2010 at 12:02 AM PDT
1. My wife's 15 year old cousin had joined the "Keep your hands off my mama, keep your hands off my Doritos" Facebook group by 9pm Sunday night. Apparently, that was a win!
2. Betty White was the best of this year's "surprise tackle" ads. Don't know what it has to do with Snickers satisfying you, but it made me laugh.
3. Apparently the Dove soap I've been using for the past couple of decades was for girls.
4. Back-to-back men in underwear ads? Really?
5. I'm a Pepper, you're a Pepper, wouldn't you like to have a giant tongue? And midgets. Could you ask for anything more? I'm sorry. I don't want Gene Simmons anywhere near my soda.
6. I found FloTV telling a guy to "change out of that skirt" to be in poor taste. Just crude, really. It's a shame because they did such a good job with the Will.i.am "Talking bout my Generation" remix—but I'm left with a bad taste in my mouth about the brand.
7. Dodge. I watch a vampire show with my wife. Thanks for pointing that out.
8. Is it just me or was the Metro PCS ad with the Indian guys completely racist?
9. I believe Motorola just made the first masturbation reference I've seen in a television advertisement. Am I mistaken?
10. I think KGB got the most relative value out of their Superbowl spot. If you ask me what they did yesterday, I would have said "Who?" If you ask me tomorrow, I'll tell you that you text them to find something out.
Of course, there was also Google on TV. But that's a subject for another blog post.
