Super Bowl Commercials (And Trying To Impress Girls)

I don’t know about you, but I think that the Super Bowl commercials were a bit down this year. I mean, they weren’t bad or anything, but it seemed like everyone was so scared (because of last year’s “issues”) that they weren’t even that funny. However, there were a few that I still thought were funny. Here’s Ansen’s Top 5 Super Bowl Commercials:

1. Ameriquest – Cat Killer. The wife comes in the room and sees her husband holding the cat in one hand and a knife in the other, and there is a large splat of spaghetti sauce (looks like blood) on the floor and the cat. The moral? Don’t judge too quickly.
2. Bud Light – Parachuting. Guys are parachuting out of the plane. One guy is wimping out and so they throw a six-pack of Bud Light out to try to get him to jump after it, but instead the pilot of the plane runs in out of nowhere and jumps out after it (with no parachute). So everyone jumps out of the pilot-less plane except the wimp. The moral? Um, hello, it’s a beer commercial.
3. Ford – Frozen in Fargo. It’s the frigid north, and a cop pulls up behind a Mustang Convertible with the top down. The light turns green but the guy doesn’t go. The cop gets out to check it out, and it turns out the guy’s frozen solid. The moral? Don’t try to sell convertibles during the winter – it’ll come out in the spring. (Slight downer, it got shown three times (boring) because it took Lincoln’s spot (They pulled their “priest commercial” because they thought it might be offensive.).)
4. Ameriquest – Tasar Scare. That’s right, Ameriquest again. A guy’s talking on the phone while at a convenience store, and says “You’re being robbed.” to the guy on the other end. But the guy workin’ the counter takes it the wrong way, and, well, the suspected robber gets a beating. The moral? Again, don’t judge too quickly.
5. Michelob – Rich and Smooth. I chose this partially because I did a “Ladies…The Secret is Out” post on it. One guy’s rich (nice stereo) but not smooth (bad dance moves). The other guy is smooth (nice music selection) but not rich (he’s using the stereo at an electronics store). Moral? Gotta be rich and smooth.

Honorable Mentions: Bud Light – “While You Were Out” and “The Clydesdale Zoo”, Careerbuilders.com – Monkey Commercials, FedEx – “Dancing Burt”.

You can see all these commercials here. Let me know which ones were your favorites!

Anyway, that’s enough Super Bowl stuff. Now here’s my attempt at “being smooth”. ——- was wondering what would be a smooth thing to say about a girl in his blog, so I came up with this: If (girl’s name here) asked me if she was pretty, I’d say no. If she asked me if I wanted to be with her forever, I’d say no. If she asked me if I would cry if she walked away, I’d say no. I would put my arm around her, look her in the eye, and say,”You’re not pretty, you’re beautiful. I don’t want to be with you forever, I need to be with you forever. And I wouldn’t cry if you walked away. I would die.” Girls? How’s that?? If a guy said that to you would that get you? (I’ve gotta work on that promise I made in the State of the Ansen address about getting a girlfriend, so this is important!)

Anyway, that’s it for me. It’s almost midnight and I’ve gotta finish this post before tomorrow!!
