Almost Super Bowl Commercial Time!!!!

[DVCLiz]

What were your favorites from years past? My all time fave was the "herding cats" one - I only saw it that one time, but it was so hysterical I've never forgotten it. Sadly, I have no idea what they were advertising, but I remember the cats being herded out on the range!!!

I always like the Budweiser ones, too.

I loved the Disney one from last year. I'm a huge Steeler fan. I especially love Ben Roethlisberger. Anything combining Disney and Ben is flipping amazing in my book!

Did you all hear about the guy who bought a 30 second commercial for the Superbowl to propose to his girlfriend?

Apparently he went around and somehow collected over $2 million to pay for the commercial...and her response is supposed to be live later in the broadcast.

DH says he heard this on CNN today...I'll see if I can find any info about it.

Their post 9/11 one was one of the most brilliant ones I've ever seen.

Wow!!

Yeah...WOW!!!

My first response: "if that's the proposal, can you imagine the WEDDING???"

I can't find any news stories, but I did find a blog about it.

That was on Good Morning America I think it was. Maybe that was Monday? But he had a website I think it was that asked for donations. He raised about 70,000, I think, but realized he would never get to 2 million in the 2 months he had left to raise it. So he donated that to charity and was looking for a company to sponsor him if I remember correctly. They didn't say anything about airing her response later, but they might. I think thats a bit over the top. I don't like the whole public proposal thing. Just something nice and quiet is just fine for me.

I just hope they don't bombard us MEN with endless "BOB", Maxoderm (although they do make HOT commercials!), or the other endless E.D. or FLowmax commercials!

I heard K-Fed was doing one for Nationwide. Need to search and see if true. If so, WHY??? Couldn't they afford someone respectable?! :::insert vomit smiley:::

Darn it, it you beat me to it! It's true, the radio station I listen to in the afternoons has Carlos Diaz from Extra call in once a week with gossip and he was on the set this week while the commercial was being filmed. He said it will be a hilarious commercial. It's one of those "Life Comes At you Fast" commercials by Nationwide, so if you can imagine K-Fed in one of those, it really should be quite funny.
