Super Bowl XLV Highlights

The title may be misleading because, well, you know me. The Super Bowl is not about the game. So here are my highlights (and lowlights) from last night.

Most Disgraceful moment: Christina Aguilara botches the National Anthem. I had equal parts horror and sympathy

Funniest Commercial: A tie: Doritos--"Finger lickin' good" and Bridgestone Tires "Reply All" (haven't we ALL been there?)

Most Tasteless Commercial: Doritos--"Ashes Fall from Mantle"

Most Tender: Volkswagon "Darth Vader"

Most surprising: A tie: Snickers "Roseanne Barr clobbered" and Go Daddy's "Joan Rivers"

Most Touching: Chevrolet "Motor City Pride"

Most Crass: Mini Cooper "Cram it in the Boot Contest"

Biggest Dud: The Coke commercials. All of them. Lots of effort, zero reward.

Most Disappointing: Half time show. Nice visuals, horrible on my ears. If only Simon Cowell were there.

Side note, there were an awful lot of aliens and cowboys strewn throughout the commercials. In one case, both in the same commercial. Huh?

What about you? I'm sure you have an opinion . . . you can even tell us what you thought of the entertainment that took place between commercials.

So, who saw the commercials last night? Is it just me, or are they not as funny as they used to be? I think I laughed twice--the Doritos commercial and the Sobe one. The 3-D ones were a novelty, though the glasses were one-size-fits most and I wasn't a most.
The halftime show wasn't bad although I'm not a big Springsteen. I understand in between the show and commercials there was some sort of football game, but I can't tell you much about that.

Mainly because I was engaged in a game of Taboo with likeminded friends. We only stopped at the call of "Commercial time!" And I have to say, I think we gamers had more fun than the sports fans--even though I heard it was a good game. Still, food, friends, and a rousing game of Taboo. What more could a girl want?
