Thoughts on Superbowl Commercials

Campfield just now got me into watching the Superbowl commercials. I have a few choice reflections:
  • No one ever sends me flowers, even if they are in a box. That's okay though, because I prefer edible things to be in boxes. Preferably chocolate. This month, February 15th's the day.
    • Also, the advertisers make themselves look good by comparing their bouquet of flowers to flowers in a box. There's so many places where you can get a bouquet of flowers (starting with Wal-mart) that it's understandable why they made the move. Sneaky advertisers.
  • I would be utterly freaked out to be in a crowd that large surrounding a football people. Just... people everywhere. All the sweat. The jostling bodies. No way out. Thank you, CG, for giving me daymares.
  • How old is Bruce Springsteen? (Wikipedia says 59.)
  • Hah. Guys doing ballet. What a joke (the ballet, that is - it's not even good). I guess I'm supposed to be glad they can just jam now thanks to the fruit drink.
  • Three football-themed commercials in a row. I guess that's what the viewers have in common. Though admittedly the Heroes commercial was pretty cool.
  • Bruce Springsteen used his guitar like a hula hoop around his shoulder and side.
  • The Georgia Lottery commercial made people look too much like jello, moving around. I also noticed that with a couple of other commercials, like the ballet one. Too much CG?
  • How many commercials feature people with super powers? Really!
  • Transformers!
  • I recognize the nearly naked guy in the one commercial! He's Vork from The Guild! That doesn't make his near-nakedness better.
  • I don't want to try Conan.
  • I can trade in my gold for cash?! Why is it that only black people and the old white guy have gold?
  • You're not allowed to use the Scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz to sell your products!
  • I don't "feel all right" with this commercial.
  • You'd think we'd have gotten over MacGuyver by now. Glad to know some things never die.
  • Ooooh, The Office. Okay.
  • So, wait. Who's playing in this Superbowl? I just know that it's yellow/green and red.
    • Oooh. Touchdown. We'll show it at every conceivable angle and repeat the issue of "both feet down" ten times.
  • OMG STAR TREK YES... I saw this online during the few seconds of the game, but it was shown during the game. The one choice I'm not sure about is McCoy.
  • I forgot all about Puppybowl...
  • Why are these bullets flowers?
  • Talking babies also scare me.
