My whole take on the Volkswagen Vader Kid was very simple.
I watched it.
I was jealous that cars didn't have auto-key-start in 1983.
I was jealous of that kid's awesome Darth Vader costume.
I watched it on youtube again.
Then I realized that they didn't tell that kid to act, that's just a bunch of folks telling him:
"Okay, Darth, you can use The Force one time today, only once. You won't know when it's gonna happen, but when it does, it's gonna be better than waffles with maple syrup in every square!"

I like thinking that the "kid" is really a dwarf. Who's like, 39 years old. They probably started with a real little kid but it didn't turn out how they wanted so they just re shot it with the pro actor.

The House "Hey kid" commercial was pretty funny. Would have been better if they hadn't just redone it last year or so with Polamalu's Hair.
The biggest thing that annoyed me was all the Fox promos. I mean, I get they're going to advertise Idol, and the one where they kind of promote all their shows with the football tossing theme was fine, but then they had to show, like, 20 damn commercials for Glee and all their Thursday night comedies, or something, I don't even. It got annoying.
Doritos continues to have great SB ads. Movie trailers were pretty good, PepsiMax commercial where the lady knocks out the white chick with the can had me and my girlfriend rolling, because we could see that happening to us.
oh, yeah, and that Limitless movie looks dumb as fuck.
I didn't like a lot of the commercials this year. That "Here We Go" thing Bud Light keeps doing just keeps getting worse, Pepsi Max basically shit all over everything, and there was like, one good Doritos commercial out of the thirty they aired. Also I saw a thing that said people "eagerly anticipate" new GoDaddy.com ads, and I want to know who they are so I can slap them.
I remember budweiser and pepsi having good commercials in the past and now they're just not even trying
like "fuck it, it's a beer commercial, drunks will be all over that shit if we toss in a couple ladies with big tits"
oh hey Geebs! So last night I wound up in Chicago walked from the Bottom Lounge to the Five Star Lounge. When my mom found out today at our super bowl party she freak and was amazed I was not killed.

I mean the snow was bad sure....
I don't know what any of this means aside from "Chicago," "Lounge," and "Super Bowl." Possibly "mom," also.

Pepsi and Dorito's don't actually make their super bowl commercials
They run a contest for people to make their own and vote for the winners. Still doesn't seem to help.
so what you're saying is that they're even lazier than I thought (pepsi, at least, I knew about the doritos thing)
We worked on a commercial shoot for the competition, and even though it was mostly dorito's we did some Pepsi Max ones too.
I hope you know this means I will hold you both personally responsible for the quality of these commercials. All of them. Not just the ones you worked on.
Well I guess, was she right? I mostly only know downtown. I guess we walked from West Lake Street to Chicago Ave. The snow drifts on the sidewalks sucked ass but shes been freaking out about it.
I think the core idea could've worked if they'd used fake tragedies, a la 30 Rock's sendup of similarly self-aggrandizing "celebrity philanthropy" from a few week's back.
Using real problems as a launchpad for jokes is just kinda tacky.

What is Super 8 about? Aliens from Roswell escaping mid move to camp David or something?

He's more machine than kid now- twisted and evil.

really disappointing year for SB commercials
When the Fonz hit that flatscreen to turn it on I burst out laughing.
like "fuck it, it's a beer commercial, drunks will be all over that shit if we toss in a couple ladies with big tits"
When I visited my cousins there last year...man its such a sad city.
i don't understand
your childhood imagination was an extremely ambiguous commercial about a train crashing and something breaking out of it?
Whatever it was.
I wasn't paying close enough attention to perform clinical studies!!
Steam: Chagrin LoL: Bonhomie

I want you to make a list of animals that cut down trees
so what you're saying is that they're even lazier than I thought (pepsi, at least, I knew about the doritos thing)
who's the real animal?

the whole montage at the beginning with MLK, JFK, the moon landing, Rosa Parks, the Depression
and SUPERBOWL XLV
I think it's a "Bold new re-imagining of E.T., inspired by the success of Dark Knight." Making it "gritty and realistic."
I assume you know more about the city then I do

I'm just guessing

Also while I love Speilberg, well he greenlit the last Indiana Jones movie and I can't forgive that. Though him producing Robopocalypse might help
