...for a cool USD 2.7M, that is! Yes, that's what a 30-second spot purportedly went for during this year's Superbowl. Being here the sports coverage doesn't include the commercials rather we're treaty to pithy and highly inaccurate Australian commentary on "gridiron", as they call it.Luckily the internet and especially YouTube has come to the rescue and posted most, if not all the ads. The most useful being MSNBC which developed a sort of grid allowing you to see all the ads and then come up with the ad you liked the most.
My favorite? "Fedex, 'Pigeons'" that had me practically wetting myself with laughter no matter how many times I see it. Followed closely by "'Tide, 'Talking Stain'" that must've caught the imagination of the nation as it's been parodied a multitude of times on YouTube.
Must say I was pretty disappointed in my fellow Americans who took the MSNBC ratings challenge. Last I looked, the favorite by almost 2-to-1 is the rather lame "Budweiser, 'Rocky'". Sappy sentimentalism always wins over creativity, I guess.
My biggest treat, though, was seeing a US-based co-worker in the ad "Coke, 'Politics'".
Good work, Chevs!
