H&R Block




FLAG- Willie Nelson Advice Doll- Willie Nelson and tax advice; a dangerous move that just didn't quite pan out.

Bud Light II




LOSER- Bikini Wax - Still sophmoric, this time just not funny!

AOL




LOSER- American Chopper- Fast dial-up? Fast AOL? Isn't there a law about truth in advertising?

Pepsi




WINNER- Beary Tasty Leftovers- I could hardly bear my laughter here. Go Pepsi, that could get you the "Best use of bi-pedal Animal" award

Dodge Magnum




LOSER- Monkey on Your Back- Anything is funnier with a monkey, but this would have needed 1000 monkies to save this ad. Dodge, the car looks great, the ad could use a "monkey wrench"

Fed-Ex




FLAG- Alien Shipper- Great Concept / Bad execution. There was so much more that could have been done with the ad.

Bud Light




WINNER- Doggy Talents- I would like to dislike this ad on principle of not supporting a beer company. Seriously, the dog biting the man may be sophmoric, but that was funny.

Let The Game Begin








CURRENT STATISTICS - (Gametime)


WINNERS: 4

FLAGS: 3

LOSERS:3

Ford GT II




LOSER- Professional Driver on a Closed Course- This ad cost them $150 bucks instead of the quater of the first. Congrats on that one tire you burned. This car ad could at least be the "Pace Car for Low Budget Advertising"


Pizza Hut - 4 for All




FLAG- Kermie loves Jessica- This is an amazing new idea, that Pizza Hut needed to think of years ago. Families everywhere will give a salute to the peace this Pizza brings. But this is a review of the ad not the product. Positive - Animal & Kermie------ Negative - Miss Piggy, Jessica Simpson, plot ------ Overall - It's not easy being...

McDonalds




WINNER- Laundry Honey- I have just three words about that ad, "I'm lovin it!" Hey honey, Ella and I both want Mickey-D dryer sheets from now on. I know it's early, but this could be an MVP contender.

Tostitos




FLAG- Games On- On the funny scale, I'd have to give that a six. A wedding theme is always a little funny, but that was nothing original. let's hope things try and get a little better than that.

Ford GT




LOSER- Ford - Spend No Money- Hey, what if I have NO MONEY and want to make an ad for the Super Bowl, can I do that. Although previous to the junk that Ford just put on the screen I would have said no, I must however now retract and say, "Well if the big boys can do it, so can you." That must have cost a quarter to produce. One word Ford - "BOO!!!"

Real California Cheese




WINNER- - Real California Cheese had a great ad with the happy cows. You know me, and my love of cheese. With only about 20 minutes left till game time, I think this is proabably the FIRST ad we have seen by a new product (or industry in this case) wanting to make themselves a household name. I wonder what Wisconsin thinks of their new friends from the Sunny West coast.



Priceline - Shatner/Nimoy Faceoff




FLAG- Priceline Shatner/Nimoy- The highlight of this ad was thinking Shatner was finally getting to boot. If I don't see the Captain's face again Priceline will go up 2 notches in my book. I am anxious to see how the first officer does.
