The Super Bowl commercials all in one place!
Especially great for us Canadian folks, since we get shafted with no broadcast of the commercials.

Re: Super Bowl Commercials

Well no major car company spends $30 mil to advertise. I'm sure they're only spending in the single figure of millions.

So I'm assuming all those bank billion dolllar GFC pay-out to these companies were well spent.

Re: Super Bowl Commercials

alright, first of all, of ANY three hour period in american telivision, the superbowl gets the most exposure. it's really second to none. if you want the most bang out of your buck, it's the ONE place anyone would dare to advertise.

on top of that, there's a bit of 'prestige' (i think that's the right word) with showing a ton of people a really clever or catchy or funny or innovative commercial.

Bud-Weis-ERrrrrr. Still hear that. Wassaaapppp. still hear that. catchy as fuck. hell, there are tv shows dedicated to the best superbowl commercials.

i agree. 30 million is a lot. but don't think these companies aren't getting mileage out of it.

Re: Super Bowl Commercials

Oh I agree, something along the lines of the most watched few hours of television in America, and so forth. Got nothing against it as well. But it just doesn’t comprehend paying 30 million for about 60 seconds. In the fine words of Chris Rock:

Gawddddd daayuummmmm!!

I would have paid 30 million to the audio guy at the arena to cut the mic to the black eyed peas.

Re: Super Bowl Commercials

Estimates for 2011 are $3 mil per 30 seconds. Yep 100 grand per second!

Amen. Although I would pay another 30 to the sound guy to crank it up when The Rolling Stones are on.
That's one band I cannot clarify. All those drugs, all those STD's, I'm even sure Keith Richards has half of Columbia up his nose. Yet, they still rock on, literally being grandpa rockers!

yo, MercuryServer should have a fundraiser. do our own commercial.

i envision a spoof of the lebron 'what should i do' commercial, but with sasha. "what should i do? should i miss my gigs to write my upcoming artist album? should i throw those vestax decks into the lake? should i pitch up scorchio or play cowpander one more time? should I cut my hair, ditch vinyl, and settle down? what should i do?"

fade to black.

then fade in the words "join MercuryServer.com"

Re: Super Bowl Commercials

Because some of them are good enough to give you chills (although, I'm a little biased to detroit).

i heard they were going to use the Insane Clown Posse instead of Eminem, but they couldn't fit into the car.

in all seriousness, they dropped basically 9 million dollars on this. i think that's irresponsible given that they took $15 billion of our money two years ago.
