Okay, so I wanted this out of the NFL thread, as it's all about the commercials. Half time show can go in here too, I guess. What commercial did you love/hate/go WTF?!

They're making a DINOBOT transformer movie? As far as I can tell, "Age of Extinction" had an image of Grimlock in it. Missed if it was directed by Michael Bay (hope not), but it has Mark Wahlberg in it, so we'll see how it goes. Can't be worse than the second Transformer with pot-mom, ghetto-bots and robo-balls, right? Oh, and Shia. Feth that guy.

Budweiser.brought a tear to my eye..

New Transformers is Bay, but none of the original cast is in it (which is good). I doubt they'll make one as bad as the second one. And yeah, it appears to have (super-spiky) Grimlock. And Prime riding Grimlock. And Hun-Gurr, which is interesting. Possible Terrorcons as the enemies?


Ah but who cares about another Bayformer movie when we have this. Holy God does that look amazing, and I didn't even like the first one.

I liked the first one, a lot and this one looks like its going to blow it clear out of the water. Amazing.

Can someone explain to me what's so special about the superbowl commercials? I don't get why the are always so hyped up.

It's the most watched thing in America-I don't recall the percentages of people who watch it, but it's the holy grail of advertising. Most of the country is guaranteed to see your commercial, so it's the prime spot. So they put their best stuff in to get people to buy their product. Must be successful, or else companies would stop doing it. I know I had a bag of Doritos earlier today, I did my part.

Yeah. This is major money for the broadcasters (who sell the advertising space for ludicrous sums) and for the advertisers (as millions upon millions will see the commercial). Same applies to the show that's on immediately after the super bowl. The post-super bowl slot is a coveted slot because the spike in ratings the show gets. This year it's Brooklyn Nine Nine's turn.

And it begins...(nsfw)

People are dumb. America is the melting pot of the world. English is the common language here, but it's not the ONLY language. Most of the haters are probably Southern Baptist Extremists.

amidoingitright?

The new Jag commercial...all the bad guys..with stiff upper lips

Obviously the Newcastle Add!

London burns?

Besides the obvious advertising, the commercials are always special. Often being the most memorable part of the game.

10 years from now, people won't remember who won the big game but they will remember their favorite commercial.

4 mil a commercial time When the Superbowl started it was 45K a commercial slot

Surprised that Jack Bauer is back for another season... I thought they milked that cow dry.

Ah mega money then. That makes a lot of sense.

meh... whatever.

At least Budweiser got it right!

It's sad how hard people are raging at coke...hopefully they are all drunk from celebrating a win/suffering a defeat, and tomorrow realise how dumb what they said is.

The coke thing is going to be sooo annoying. How do people actually believe the whole country (Usa) is english?

Hell I am 13th gen American and my dads first language is French lol.

Of course as a person in an interracial marriage and with a biracial daughter I was pretty partial to the Cheerios ad.

I hated Captain America but that looks pretty good actually.

I'll be honest I only saw a few adverts... admittedly i was drinking a lot so I don't really remember them...
Something about cars?

Personally my two favorite ads were:

and
