Well, the St. Louis Rams can at least say one of their losses last season was to the eventual Super Bowl champion Giants. There's at least some consolation in that. Not really. That does do it for another season. We'll be turning toward free agency and the draft now. But first, how about those Super Bowl commercials?
I always appreciate Clint Eastwood, so I did like his Chrysler commercial, though I'm sorry if I don't buy the Detroit rejuvenation meme. America's manufacturing days are over, and they aren't coming back. Anyone know if Eastwood directed that ad?
I thought the Battleship ad was for a Transformers sequel. It kind of is.
More Amy Sedaris in pop culture, please.
Did you know Will Ferrell did an ad for Old Milwaukee ... that only ran in Nebraska or something like that? Old Milwaukee was one of those beers that avoided even as a broke college student. See it after the jump.
You can watch a heaping helping of the ads from yesterday's Super Bowl over here.
Which ones were your favorites? The worst ads?

I thought the m&m and the dorito dog bribe commercials were the best. liked the chevy sonic one too. on straight sex appeal the fiat Araby commercial blew away anything go daddy has thrown our way the last however many years. worst commercial was the Madonna halftime show. it was like a half hour ad for old washed up hag

Anyways I liked the one with the dog losing weight to chase the car, forgot what company it was though but hey that’s not why I’m watching commercials now is it?

That Fiat commercial is old
It’s been used everywhere but the US, where it was deemed to risque.
But it’s still my favorite.
That was my favorite too.
Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is where the Stanley Cup can be found.

Probably the worst year of commercials.
The only ones I enjoyed were the M&M’s one, Doritos dog, and that’s about it. Either the companies are losing it, or there’s just too much hype to live up.
