Best commercial in the superbowl?

[DaveStebbins]

The first beer commercial I saw was pretty good - the pilot jumping out of the plane (sans parachute) after a case of Bud Light (I think).

Yes! The Bud Light skydivers was my favorite.
Both Ameriquest commercials were also great.
I liked the Lays commercial with the ball over the fence.
The Mustang Convertable was well done.
The Diet Pepsi Truck and FedEx "10 Things" commercials were also good.
I liked Credric's Designated Driver Dance and his three wishes fantasy.
The Subway toasted buns steaming up the windows was cute.
The Degree anti-perspirant Inaction Figures was good too.

That's about all I can remember, but I'm pretty sure I covered most of my favorites.

The FedEx "10 Things" commercial got me laughing

Now that I think about it, besides the Emerald Nuts commercial, the other one I really liked was the DirecTV commercial with the young 1950's boy walking thtough important points in his life where a tv set was also showing an important TV moment, growing older at each point until he was an old man in 2005. It was a pretty poignant commercial.

Though I wonder why the kid born in the early 1970's (when the nearby TV set was playing the opening to All In The Family) was still a little kid by 1989 (when the nearby TV set showed the Berlin Wall coming down) . That kid should've been graduating high school by that point.

Did you know that they pulled all other beer commercials this year because Anheiser-Busch/Budweiser sponsered the game. I guess they didn't want any anti budlight spots from Miller light. LOL. Whatever happened to free enterprise? lol

Hey I'm all for anything that shows Burt Reynolds taking one in the jimmies.

I love the part where Jon Gruden sings and then turns to his kids and tells them to shut up.

Well, of course. Gruden is just awesome.

Since we're on the topic of Super Bowl commercials, let's not forget the one that started it all: first true Super Bowl commercial (i.e. expensive commercial specifically made to be debuted during a Super Bowl), which aired during Super Bowl XVIII in January 1984.

It was directed by acclaimed film director Ridley Scott and cost a then-record $1 million to produce.

Thanks!

Though for some reason the DirecTV commercial I mentioned isn't there, it can be found here.
