Best Tech Superbowl Commercials
January 18, 2010 at 12:06 pm
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
January 8, 2010 at 9:49 am
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.
2009 Superbowl Commercial Ideas
February 1, 2009 at 1:21 pm
With the economy hurting and the Super Bowl coming, it makes you wonder what this year’s Super Bowl commercials will be like. A sock puppet show from GM, Chrysler and Ford? The CEO of AIG doing a dance while sobbing uncontrollably? Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac executives feasting on the blood of the innocent?
In other words, what do companies do when money is low, ad buys are high and poverty sounds less like a Milton Bradley game and more like horrible reality?
It’s easy. Simplify the commercials. Make them cheaper, make them quicker, tell us, the American people, that you understand our financial woes and that your products will help us, nay, save us from our nightmares.
How?
Well, we here at Devlib have hired our resident commercial-making expert, Yuri Baranovsky, to aid you in budgeting down and really connecting with your audience this Super Bowl year.
Here we go.
Please hold on!
