Anyone who knows me knows I am not a sports fan. I do, however, look forward to the Super Bowl. I enjoy having friends and family over and sharing the evening with them. Mostly, though, I enjoy the hype of the commercials. I look forward to how the sponsors are going to top the productions of the prior years. And while I am sure most people will be discussing this morning the effect the thirty minute black-out had on the game, I am more qualified to discuss the commercials.

I was not too impressed with the commercials this year. My favorite commercial was one that I actually saw on the internet, the Samsung commercial in which Seth Rogen and Paul Rudd appeared. The story behind the commercial is that the two are “pitching” their idea for a commercial to Samsung executives. Their problem, however, are words that they are prohibited from saying in their commercial because the words are trademarked. Therefore, the names of the two teams playing in the “Big Game” became the Baltimore “Big Birds” and the San Francisco “50ers minus One.” The commercial made me laugh out loud and I thought it was great satire.

What was your opinion of the comercials? How about the black-out?
