It certainly wasn't worth $30, but I really thought it was pretty good. So I was very surprised to see all the negative comments. Maybe I just have lower expectations -- I mean, it's a mini-show that you have to set up, perform, and then tear down in 20 minutes. No sound checks, no band on stage with you, lots of pressure. You have to judge them on that basis, and not on the basis of a standard show.“Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.”

Damn, I missed that one. What was it for?Originally posted by revo View Post
I really enjoyed the Audi commercial. And honestly, the House promo when he threw his cane to the kid (ala Mean Joe Greene) might have been the 2nd best.Comment

I get that but if that's the basis then get a friggin clue and lip sync it. They sounded absolutely terrible and it wasn't just the poor sound, it was them. They looked ridiculous and the BEP themselves lacked any energy which is ironic considering how much energy the rest of the performers out there had. I don't know in what universe that was a good show and quite honestly I'm amazed to hear anyone saying as much.Originally posted by Wonderboy View PostComment

I think I would prefer marching bands and skip the completely out of character half time show.I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert...Comment

Normally I switch to the Puppy Bowl during halftime but some of the girls at my party were big BEP fans and went nuts when Usher showed up. I was in complete agony since I can't stand that music and the whole thing was just plain ridiculous.
As for commercials, I don't remember any being particularly good though I wasn't paying close attention.Comment

Speaking of which...can someone tell me why they were reciting the Declaration of Independence before the game? I missed the intro, so maybe that explained why. It just seemed a little out of place before a football game to me.Originally posted by Bernie Brewer View PostComment

I'd have to go within categories and grade on a scale, since nothing jumped out at me as great. In the soda category, I think Pepsi definitely was better than Coke for a lot lower production cost. Chrysler won the domestic car group with its ode to Detroit. I think Audi won the foreign luxury car group over Mercedes and BMW. Even though it wasn't anything new, I think Snickers was funnier than Doritos, which I just found kind of gross, in the snack food category.Comment

How about the ARod/Cameron Diaz? About as entertaining as most of the commercials.Comment

It would have been better to see W putting popcorn in John Madden's mouth, but yeah, that was pretty entertaining.Originally posted by schlesinj View PostComment
