Worst 3 and Best 3 Superbowl 2010 Commercials

Let us start off by saying, generally, we’re unimpressed Superbowl-Commercial-Creators. This was not a great year for you. The commercials felt a bit like chewed gum — flavorless, dull with a strong feeling of, we’ve seen this before, haven’t we? Aside from our top commercial listed after the jump, we didn’t think anyone brought anything new to the table. We’ve always believed that art — and yes, filmmaking and commercial making is, in fact, an art — must make you react strongly. Either you hate it, or you love it. The fact is, these commercials made us neither hate them nor love them — they made us “eh” them, and that, that is the worst thing of all.

Superbowl Commercial Friday News Mash-Up

It’s the last day before the Superbowl weekend and so we have graciously decided to give you not one news story but small chunks of several to feed your  Superbowl commercial hungry. Yes, there’s more Tim Tebow abortion news (now he hates babies and wants to kill ones that aren’t even fetuses! Tim, why?!), there’s a 2.5 million government ad buy,  some GoDaddy news and even a trailer for an M. Night Shyamalyan movie that, while we hate to spoil the ending, will suck.

CBS Accepts Dante’s Inferno Super Bowl Ad

CBS has finally accepted a Super Bowl commercial for a video game called Dante’s Inferno by Electronic Arts — but it wasn’t easy. EA had to agree to change their  ”Go to Hell” tagline to a much more family friendly, “Hell Awaits” — even though CBS still kind of preferred their own version of the tagline:  ”Hell Awaits Pro-Choicers.”

Best Tech Superbowl Commercials

Technology has progressed faster than our wildest dreams — from iPhones to advanced 3D technology to razors that have like 70 blades; we’re a hop and a step away from fully functional cyborgs with 70-bladed hand-razors and the future just seems grand.

As with all things, the progress of our technology can be directly studied through the Superbowl commercials through our time. Which is why we have decided to put together a list of the Top 10 Best Technology-Related Superbowl Commercials Ever… and while the title isn’t great; the list will damn near blow your mind – which you can then replace with a smarter, stronger, faster mind made out of metal.

Best Super Bowl Commercials: 2000-2009

You can feel Super Bowl XLIV approach — you can smell it in the air. It smells lightly of beer, chips and cholesterol. Of sweat, triumph and tears. Of angry women telling you to please just come here for a second and you’re DVRing this anyway. But most importantly, you can almost taste the money that’s being put into the latest Super Bowl commercials.

Over the years, the advertising during the Super Bowl has been as much an event as the Super Bowl itself. Companies spend outrageous money on creating and buying the ad space to get their 30 second spot in front of the bagillion (accurate number) of viewers that watch the game that fateful day. Some of the commercials are just plain awful, while others stand in our memories as works of art, as films, as the moment a company — we’re looking at you, Apple, circa 1984 — promised and eventually succeeded at changing the world.

2010 Super Bowl Ads

Not only will be covering the Superbowl commercials this year, on this site, but we will also be covering the commercials on our new 2010 Super Bowl Ads website.

Not sure how we’re going to play this yet, but we want the new site to be more interactive, with an ajaxy reviews and ratings interface. We bet we can do much better than YouTube or USA Today and come up with a better ranking than they do.
