Even if you sit and watch the entire Super Bowl, you still manage to miss a commercial or two. I didn't see everything, but my favorite among the many competent entries was the mischievous Robert Goulet, mostly because of the unexpected notion that "some say Robert Goulet appears, and messes with your stuff." Which no one says, because the idea that Robert Goulet is like a gremlin who sneaks in and knocks files to the floor is absurd and therefore hilarious.
I also liked the Kevin Federline Nationwide commercial. The familiar tag line "Life comes at you fast" appearing with an image of K-Fed working the fries at a fast food restaurant (following the hyped-up music video that presents an image of Britney's ex that the nation never bought) was a fun moment. This ad is the only 30 seconds of Federline fame I wouldn't mind reliving.
My favorite commercial that I didn't see until today online is E*Trade's "one finger" spot.
You can watch many of the Super Bowl ads at this YouTube page. This site offers lots of links to stories about the ads, such as a rundown of the best and worst ads according to one woman, and an article taking a different angle on the topic — how brain scans reveal that the ads this year failed to connect with viewers and even scared them. Interesting.
