I’ve only seen the one with the black guy. Are there others?

Two that I know of. There’s that one, and one with a woman.
Anyone else get a “This Is Not Your Country” vibe from those incessant “This Is Our Country” Chevy commercials?
That Old Spice one is . . . strange.

I simply can’t stand it now due to the overexposure during NFL football broadcasts.
The hand in the box from the OfficeMax ads screams as one of those “I can’t believe they are actually using that idea!” type ad campaigns. The joke’s on OfficeMax, I’m creeped out and don’t want to go to their store.
What I like about those “This is our country” ads is that GM Canada is using the song as well. I just found it mildly amusing that we’re using an American folk rock song in our patriotic Canadian ads which of course show us playing hockey about five or six times.
Favorite super bowl ad so far? anyone?
I liked the “Language Seminar” bud ad
Not a superbowl ad, but my favorite ad of late is the cell phone one where the father matter-of-factly tells his daughter, “Maybe you should have uglier friends.”
My favorite ad for tonight was the Ultraman battle.
My favorite had to be the face slap replacing the fist bump. Now I just hope my friends don’t take it seriously.

Ugh, the presence of Mencia kept that from having any humor for me. That and the fact that that concept has been done way better in Stripes and My Name Is Earl.
I second the love for the Ultraman spot, and the Letterman/Oprah bumper was hysterical. Other than that, it was a real wasteland tonight.
And the only real movie ad I recall seeing was for The Shooter, which I wouldn’t call a big deal by any stretch.
That SalesGenie ad was beyond terrible. It was so ridiculous that I kept waiting for a punchline that never came. I actually thought the K-Fed ad wasn’t too bad.
My fav. had to be the Robert Goulet one just based on sheer randomness alone. Other good ones were e*trade’s “One Finger” ad, the Ultraman battle, and depressed GM robot (if only for the fact that they took it as far as they did).
What, no love for Beard Comb-over?
Do you have it?

Anyone seen this new one from Nike yet? No dialogue, just some operatic music set to the tone of the home team losing the game. Just something about it I liked… [http://www.nike.com/jumpman23/home/i…v…;itid=1137](http://www.nike.com/jumpman23/home/index.jsp?dlto=jtv_ct&itid=1137)

I’ve seen the shorter version of the commercial, which works a little better, I think.
I’m going to stab someone if I have to see that fucking car commercial with a bunch of US Presidents in the background again.

A-men.
Just went searching for it on YouTube (which I should’ve done in the first place), and here it is if you don’t want to view it on Nike’s site.

Also while searching though, I found this other Nike commercial that I thought was pretty cool, but only saw it a couple of times. Really well done…
