This year’s ads got points for humor, and they definitely got points for creativity. But where they gained points in how they affected me personally, they lost just as many in their redundancy. Simply put, it was just too much. I would like to believe that they could get the message across without ‘kicking a dead horse’, but that remained to be seen this year. They even played a few of them back-to-back! Granted, it was the difference between Budweiser and Bud Light, but it was still profoundly redundant to me.
One commercial that received my undivided attention was the Dodge Charger commercial. If there ever was a man’s commercial, that was it. It helped to diagnose what the unseen side of most men is – we put up with the frilly stuff just long enough to get to our “man-juice” (a.k.a. a smokin hot, manly man’s sports car) In this case, the ends justify the means: Holding her lip balm (my favorite) and gingerly putting the “seat down” as we patiently wait for the opportunity to have a testosterone overload as we hear the roar of the ponies under the hood and stand on the gas………….you get the idea.
What non-racing fans may not have known about the phenomenon that is Danica Patrick is that Godaddy.com timed this weekend just right for advertising. Ms. Patrick brought great attention on Saturday as she started in her first stock car race in the ARCA series at Daytona, driving the (you guessed it) Godaddy.com #7 Chevrolet for Jr Motorsports. Being the stock car racing buff that I am, I had a natural interest in the Godaddy commercials during the Superbowl. And, no, it’s not just because Danica Patrick is hot (although some would make the argument that just about any woman race car driver is attractive). Though their commercials all end the same way – one woman bearing the logo on a tank top for Godaddy – their approach is different every time.
All in all, there were some decent commercials during the Superbowl. The BIGGEST disappointment for this football fan was the absence of any Pepsi/Mountain Dew commercials.

But it no one noticed when the Saints won.

WHO DAT!
