Super Bowl Ads

OK, this year's Super Bowl, XLIII, was awesome. Even though I don't follow either the Steelers or the Cardinals, that was one memorable fourth quarter. But even when it is one of those 1985-style boring blowouts,the Super Bowl is still great fun. Diets get sidelined, seven-layer dip, hot wings and party mix form a triumvirate on the buffet table and there are always those great ads.

This year's ads were very cool: Among my favorites were the Mr. Potato Head ad for Bridgestone Tires, and Budweiser had some fun horse ads as usual, along with a hilarious "Swedish" commercial starring Conan O'Brien.

But my very favorite is the one linked to the title here, for Doritos. The plot is that this young man's wildest dreams come true with every Dorito crunched. Now I love me some Doritos, but I really, really need a family-sized bag of those chips. Especially when it comes to ATMs spitting out money. Watch and enjoy, and share your favorite Super Bowl ads.
