Super Bowl Commercials: Show Me the Ad Money!
I'm going to admit it -- my interest in professional football is at an all-time low. Growing up in Denver it was impossible not to be a fan of the Broncos, which ultimately paid off several years ago. But I don't live in football-crazed Denver anymore. Hell, I don't live in football anywhere anymore. Gotta love the second-largest city in the nation not having a pro team. Regardless, the Broncos have been mediocre at best for several years, and honestly I've got other ways to spend my Sundays. What, you think those old Triumph motocycles stay in tune by themselves?
But everyone knows that Super Bowl commercials are the stuff of legend, and because I almost never watch network TV anymore (and I never watch it live -- only on my DVR where I can blast through the commercials), I basically never see commercials -- except during the Super Bowl. My favorite Super Bowl commercial, posted above, probably won't surprise anyone. I also still love that Nissan 300ZX commercial from a few years back that I referenced a few months ago.
You can see more past Super Bowl commercials if you follow this link, and after the game on Sunday we'll be posting the 2008 car commericals as well. Here's hoping they justify three hours I could just as easily spend burning my arms on motorcycle exhaust pipes and spilling oil on my hands.

Karl, we know why you choose the Ford GT commercial :)))
L.A. has a pro football team! It's the USC Trojans! :o)
Here's one of my favorites.
Nissan Maxima commercial from the 1997 Super Bowl (the Green Bay Packers defeated the New England Patriots):

Best superbowl commercial: "When I Grow Up" for monster.com

Before the commercial I didn't know monster.com existed. Nine years later and monster.com is still in business.
For car commercials, I like the G.I. Joe Steals Barbie Nissan commercial.

Cheer up Karl, the Rams may be headed back your way.
Funniest car commercial in this year's Super Bowl

I was actually disappointed by this year's commercials. There were some good ones, though. Jackie Moon was hillarious.

I also liked the Bridgestone commercial.
