End over End


I can't believe it's over… The 2011-2012 NFL season that is. Actually MY season ended back in December
when the Chargers belly-flopped and didn't make the playoffs. BUT as always, I rally and get excited for the
playoffs. My 2 picks were the San Francisco 49ers (sorry Jim) and the New England Patriots. So the Pats
made it and faced the Giants, and underperformed in a way that I still cannot describe. I have a little more
respect for ELI after his 2nd ring (which means I can his name without saying FUCKING in front of it).
I tip my cap to the New York Football Giants and a job well done.

As anyone that knows me though… knows it's all about the commercials. This year I thought there was a lot
of great commercial which is nice for a change.Being an Ad Man, it's the time of the year that spotlights my
profession and brings out the Best (and Worst) in TV ads.

So I present you with my TOP 10 Super Bowl Ads of 2012:

10. Career Builder - 2012
They brought back the guy from the Original CB commercial & the chimps of course.

09. Budweiser - Eternal Optimism
I liked it and was stoked to hear The Cult / Flo Rider mash up.

08. Chevrolet - Happy Grad / Chevy Silverado - 2012
Chevy received a Cease and Desist letter from Ford over the 2012 commercial

07. Doritos - Man's Best Friend
Funny. Very Funny… "You Didn't See Nuthin"

06. Chrysler - Halftime in America
Sure, it was a little preachy and sounded like a Republican Ad but I like Clint doing the VO and
the message was on target.

05. Samsung Tab - Thing Called Love
Sure, it's a stab at my beloved Apple but I have to call it like I see it. A great commercial that rocks!

04. Avengers - Movie Trailer
"I have an Army. We have a Hulk"… Classic!

03. Acura - Transactions
Jerry still has it. And IT is funny!!!!

02. Bud Light - Rescue Dog
Here We Go!!!

01. Kia Optima - A Dream Car. For Real Life.
I saw this commercial and knew it would be hard to beat. The Car companies drop a LOT of cash for these but
a simple, cerebral, soul-felt commercial gets you overtime…. Plus it had Motley Crue so there you go!
