You make some great points. I know that the CareerBuilder.com ad worked for many people. We're still talking about it so that definitely says something. There were so many Bud commercials that I chose two so that I didn't rant too much.

As you can probably tell, I was overall unimpressed with the ads this year so it was hard to really pick ones I liked.

Thanks for your comments and for reading my blog!

I hated the bud commercials, that horse got so old so fast. Why don't you comment on the other bud commercials. All American beer I get it already.

CareerBuilder.com - Thought it was a solid commercial. The repitition was funny, got the point across and helped imprint the ad in your mind. Perhaps the reason they didn't address the poor economy and loss of jobs angle is because 1) It's just depressing to talk about that during the superbowl when most people are trying to have a good time (sober and unsober) And no one pays attention to what they don't want to hear. 2) Perhaps the commercial has more to do about power, when you lose your job you must scatter to find a new one, when you have reasons you don't like your job you are in control and can quit and go look for a new one. After all their tag line is 'build your career'
