I’m no advertising expert, nor am I a Super Bowl commercials aficionado of any sort. I’m just a guy who likes football and is vaguely aware that Apple’s “1984″ ad is kind of a big deal, MJ and Bird playing H-O-R-S-E appears to have happened a million years ago and a jorts-clad Cindy Crawford forcefully ushered me into young manhood.Oh, and I watched every commercial break of the Giants’ historic upset in the hopes of providing you with the five best ads out of this year’s Super Bowl-sized buffet of crass commercialism. (Note: Anything for Salesgenie.com’s “business” or starring “comedian” Carlos Mencia need not apply.)
Each 30-second spot cost $2.7 million, but you can watch the most entertaining ones for free right down below, or hit Yahoo! Video to see the rest. You can also tell me what a know-nothing I am by sharing your picks and pans via the comments.
