Because of our Nationalist Leninist Socialist Policy (aka. N.L.S.P.) in Canada we weren't able to get the Super Bowl (seeing as it coincided with the Curling Championships yesturday and we have to protect the Canadian Football League's "Grey Cup" TV ratings) so could you please tell me who won?

P.S. 3 downs are better than 4!!!

You are denied the super bowl...for curling?

Wow.

kind of off topic but did you see when one of the coaches (cant remember who) went to the wrong bench? now that beat even the funniest commercial they had.

You left out the FedEx one with Burt Reynolds. That was pretty funny. My vote goes to AmeriQuest, though.

The Ameriquest one was probably the best. The Godaddy one was just awful and pathetic, just more images of women being used against women.

yay go degradation of women! jk, I liked the monkey one, the whoopi coushin one in particular.

Ditto on the AmeriQuest with cat and knife.

they didn't seem like good ads at all. superbowl or not.

I had an ad that premiered at the superbowl so I guess I'm gonna vote for myself. .... It's the budlight ad with the camera phones where he goes "that's my apartment ...that's my girlfriend ... that's my beer!".

but I agree that the ads generally weren't as good as previous years.

hahaha thats was a great spot. How were you involved joren?

I was a props man ... and I helped the set dressers out a little.

How did you get involved in that?

well, it's kindof my day job. I freelance in production design (in props, set dressing, coordinating, etc) for television commercials and the occasional music video. One of my contacts called me and the job fit my schedule perfectly so I took it! I did that spot just two weeks ago, so it was kind of a rush job to get it done for the superbowl.
Here's a "behind the scenes" photo from that shoot at the stadium scene of that spot.

****sorry for hijacking this thread. what were other good commercials people liked?****

hijacked? who cares! Cool pic.

joren! sweet!

A little off topic but, does anyone know how much the SB commericials cost, like per minute?

I believe the air time cost around $3.6M per 30 second spot.

No, it was $2.4 million. I'm sure of it.
