I liked the radioshack one where the 80s called and wanted their store back. Then damn near every icon from the 80s showed up and looted the place. Awesome.

That's a good thing. Even the best seasons of 24 had a few episodes where nothing happened and every season had story lines that stretched out for far too long or were utterly superfluous to the overall narrative. Re-watch Season 2 but skip every single bit with Kim except for the bits where Kim interacts with Jack, and the season is amazing. With Kim the season drags on, darting over to a character who has no place in the story.
I'll take 12 solid episodes of 24 over a 24-episode season that meanders for hours at a time.

Well argued, and it makes sense to make a tighter 12 episode season, but they need to rename it 12.
“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”

Yeah, that's my favorite of the night!
The Radio Shack 80s commercial is probably 2nd best. I chuckled at a few others, but it felt light this year. The Regular guy playing Arnold in table tennis was good.

My family and I literally said "What the frick is this?" in unison when the Maserati ad was playing, seriously what the feth was that all about?

I enjoyed seeing Mandarin and Loki show up in the same commercial. The dog one was also awesome and the Bud Light one with a regular guy off the street having an awesome night was pretty cool too. I forgot a LOT of them though. Enjoyed seeing the Spidey trailer, but I missed the captain America one-watched it online after. Our superheroes are taking over our sporting events. Soon nobody will be able to tell the difference between the nerds and the jocks.
Reality is a nice place to visit, but I'd hate to live there.
