  • superbowl commercials

    I know nothing about football. and i know even less about cars. but none the less i felt compelled, as i do every year, to watch the super bowl and this year i took notes on what the commercials were. I still like to watch tv, and when i do i like to study what is coming at me and pay attention to what is being advertised, the following is compiled from my handwritten notes on super bowl commercials

    below are my actual superbowl notes, sometimes i jot these down in my sketch book. Taking notes on the commercials i watch is a habit i developed when i though i might apply to go to graduate school at the institute for the study of popular television at syracuse.

    and now the list with snarky comments and observations thrown in for good measure:

    GI Joe- commercial for a movie that will most definitely ruin one of my favorite childhood toys
    Hyundai- a car i will never need,
    Bud Light.
    angels and demons-should have titled this the bernini code
    audi-using jason statham’s transporter
    pepsi-something i never have or will drink
    doritos-yuck
    bud light

    toyota-influenced by the same art objects as modernist, actually compares grill of car to african mask
    fast and furious-an ad for a 2hour ad for cars
    oil- some oil company used inagadavida by iron butterfly as their music…wtf?
    Land of the lost-
    doritos- something about sex and money
    go daddy- something about sex and a girl in a shower
    diet pepsi-goes along with your motor oil, regular pepsi and doritos

    cash 4 gold- you are a sucker and will do anything , send me your un wanted gold. is there such a thing as unwanted gold, it is the only thing that holds its value, soon it is all we will accept as payment
    vizio-because you deserve a flat screen that costs more than your first car
    taco bell-drink pepsi
    ge- we own everything, deal with it.
    hulu- alec baldwin is both ironic and relevant, we swear
    ge-we still own everything
    pepsi-we own taco bell
