Because we love/hate lists...

Top Super Bowl commercials 2010? Nope. Here are the five worst.


There were definitely a few great Super Bowl ads. And then there were ... the rest. 
Judging from viewers' votes on Hulu this morning, many ads got split reactions. The much-publicized Tim Tebow Focus on the Family ad, for example, garnered the most "dislike" votes but tied for seventh in "like" votes through mid-morning Monday.

For an advertiser, that's typically a good thing: Your message got seen.

To make our bottom five, you've got to have more than just a lot of negative feedback. The spot in question must have truly put advertising dollars into a crash-and-burn television moment. Thus, bland spots – Roundup Weedkiller, anyone? – don't make the cut.


5. Vizio Forge
Beyoncé, zombies, ninjas, and Twitter, all mixed in a strange techno-gullet of steel. For a minute-long spot, you spend the first 55 seconds or so confused as to what exactly it is that you're supposed to be looking at. Then you don't really care.


4. Taco Bell 'It rocks'
Unfortunately for Sir Charles, it does not. Lyrical sampling: "It rocks, it rocks. It rocks for a fox. It rocks blocking shots on guys in dreadlocks." Um. Yeah. And you can't rhyme "rocks" with "bucks," without setting off a five-siren groan alarm.



3. CarMax Animals
What makes these commercials most disappointing is that CarMax manages to entertain with its other set of commercials, the spots where extraordinary people cowed by the tall task of car buying gain solace with CarMax. Unfortunately, cute in this case does not equal memorable.



2. GoDaddy Trifecta

Spare us. The adolescent shock factor gone totally lame from annual repetition. This year, viewers were subjected to a triple dose of unfunny: The ads combined "like" scores rated less than the semi-retread Dr. Pepper "Dr. Love" commercial, according to Hulu voters.


 

1. Skechers Joe Montana Shape-Ups
This commercial really speaks for itself, but if you're too scared to click the link below, just know that it looks like it should be followed by a Trix Rabbit commercial or a Saturday morning cartoon.

 



Post your fave/least faves!

[info]wonderpup 9th-Feb-2010 02:02 am (UTC)
That was my favourite, by far the best commercial.
[info]kipperbloomer 9th-Feb-2010 02:03 am (UTC)

[info]lovelyeli 9th-Feb-2010 02:51 am (UTC)

[info]honeynutcherri 9th-Feb-2010 02:52 am (UTC)
Comment twins. I thought it was so sweet. I teared up.
[info]kerfuffleboat 9th-Feb-2010 03:06 am (UTC)
This evokes no emotions from me. Clearly, I have no soul. If there were dogs involved somehow, I'd probably be crying even if it was happy. wtf.
[info]whosebatman 9th-Feb-2010 03:09 am (UTC)
Hah. Everyone I was with did a mandatory 'awww' with this commercial.
[info]xathenex 9th-Feb-2010 03:15 am (UTC)
The cynic in me rolled my eyes but the girly girl in me went "aawwwwiiies!<33"
[info]lreservoirldogs 9th-Feb-2010 03:39 am (UTC)
My boyfriend was telling me about this one...
It might be corny, but it's a cute commercial.
[info]witnessthine 9th-Feb-2010 04:28 am (UTC)
i'm so fucking obsessed with google search
i had a pain in my tummy and immediately ran to google and typed PAIN LEFT SIDE TUMMY help
[info]laduchesse 9th-Feb-2010 05:38 am (UTC)
Could've been something interesting but too long and just all around FAIL

[info]mylian 9th-Feb-2010 01:45 pm (UTC)
Awwww ADORABLE!

cynics to the left
[info]shelostcontro1 9th-Feb-2010 02:01 am (UTC)
"You're so tight" I seriously groaned out loud. GoDaddy is digusting
[info]alexahhh 9th-Feb-2010 02:03 am (UTC)
They're awful. My dad's company was going to work with them before they debuted their first commercial -- that squashed the deal Monday morning.
[info]shelostcontro1 9th-Feb-2010 02:06 am (UTC)
omg music to my ears!!
[info]askmehowifeel 9th-Feb-2010 02:33 am (UTC)
lol i was so uncomfortable watching that with my dad.
we both like pretended not to hear it.
[info]ericasays 9th-Feb-2010 02:01 am (UTC)
why in the fuck would joe montana wear shapeups? who in the fuck even owns these? shape your ass in private, jerkoffs.
[info]ididthatonce 9th-Feb-2010 02:41 am (UTC)
My mom's fellow menopausal friend wears them.

Does that answer your question?
[info]sexi_squidward 9th-Feb-2010 03:09 am (UTC)
I had a pair of curves brand shapeups...same thing...quite comfy actually...not manly though Mr. Joe Montana
[info]58468_0 9th-Feb-2010 04:22 am (UTC)
My mom wears them to try to lower her back pain...lol
[info]hershenko 10th-Feb-2010 02:11 am (UTC)
They do make them for men but they seem to be too feminine, so I made a WUH? face when I heard a man's voice. They look stupid but they are comfortable, my feet and back don't hurt at work anymore.
[info]vicarabelling 9th-Feb-2010 02:01 am (UTC)
Those sketchers are even uglier than normal sketchers.

And the dramatic chipmunk one would have maybe been funny in 2005.
[info]karinette001 9th-Feb-2010 02:01 am (UTC)
ngl, I want to try those Shape-ups, Reebok, Skechers or Nike.
[info]___discotracks 9th-Feb-2010 04:27 am (UTC)
I got the reebok's for my birthday. I can feel my calves burn when I walk but I haven't been using them long enough to determine if they really make a difference.
[info]astormatsea 9th-Feb-2010 02:01 am (UTC)
what is the deal with those fucking shapeups? does anyone here actual own a pair?
[info]laurens_bonanza 9th-Feb-2010 02:44 am (UTC)
They are the weirdest shoes ever. You're not comfortably balanced when you're standing, you're forced to lean back, and walking is awkward because of the rolling sole. Plus, there's so much cushion in the middle of your foot (left to right across your arch) it feels like it will never last, it'll just break down completely after a couple of months. And they're beyond ugly.

I hate them.
[info]theantipoet 9th-Feb-2010 02:49 am (UTC)
from everything I've read, you stand funny and they basically do nothing for you.
[info]stelarjesss 9th-Feb-2010 07:39 am (UTC)
i'm a nurse and everyone at my work has them. they look completely ridiculous.
[info]staygoldpnyboy 9th-Feb-2010 08:10 am (UTC)
w/e i have them and i like them. but im a ~weird female~ who'd rather have comfort than style. sorry, i like my back.
[info]wonderpup 9th-Feb-2010 02:01 am (UTC)
That Vizio commercial was like 3 years behind on internet memes :/
[info]askmehowifeel 9th-Feb-2010 02:34 am (UTC)
LOL I KNOW IT WAS SO UNCOMFORTABLE
[info]alexahhh 9th-Feb-2010 02:01 am (UTC)
What is the point of posting on ONTD if you're not going to allow comments?
[info]ericasays 9th-Feb-2010 02:03 am (UTC)
and somehow in the time/space continuum this comment was posted
[info]alexahhh 9th-Feb-2010 02:03 am (UTC)
...not in this post. I thought that would be obvious.
[info]dasvedanyaanya 9th-Feb-2010 02:07 am (UTC)
The Britney post? I thought that was odd.
[info]msloserrific 9th-Feb-2010 02:45 am (UTC)
I might've been a mistake. It's in the same dropdown menu as disable emails and they might have meant to select that instead.
[info]degele 9th-Feb-2010 02:01 am (UTC)
BB ETRADE COMMERCIAL AND THE DORITOS <3
[info]nancyboy11 9th-Feb-2010 02:02 am (UTC)

[info]ididthatonce 9th-Feb-2010 02:41 am (UTC)
YES I DID
[info]longlivpopozao 9th-Feb-2010 02:02 am (UTC)
Don't touch my mama. Don't touch my doritos. That one cracked me up!
[info]indy788 9th-Feb-2010 02:02 am (UTC)

[info]ididthatonce 9th-Feb-2010 02:42 am (UTC)
I thought it was stupid and misogynistic. I preferred the meteor one.
[info]laduchesse 9th-Feb-2010 05:43 am (UTC)

[info]weepwop 9th-Feb-2010 02:03 am (UTC)
