3 best and worst Super Bowl 2010 ads

3 Worst
I think it is self evident why this is in the worst category. This superbowl spot is difficult for me to watch. To me, there really is no one good thing about it and I'm not sure why a company would invest money in the production of this.



This may be a biased opinion coming from a person who LOATHES Taco Bell, but I cannot stand watching this commercial. Listening to Charles Barkley trying to sing is painful along with the words and rhythm of the song just make me want to plug my ears.



This scares me. I'm afraid next time I open my doritos they are going to fly out at me like ninja stars. So, I wouldn't say this is godaddy status bad, but it's deffinently nothing I would ever want to see again.

I found this to be one of the only really funny commercials during the Superbowl."I will carry your lip balm" is deffinently the best line in the spot.



This isn't necessarily a great commercial, but you cannot help laughing at these chickens. I think the fact that I am putting this as one of the best ads from Superbowl 2010 says a lot of the quality of ads that were shown...



I think we can all agree this is THE best superbowl ad. By having a story, it gave the commercial much more depth and grabbed interest in a modest way. It also portrays Google as a friend who is always there to help out, unlike most products or company's that want you to spend money.

5 Artful Ads

ROOTS

Agency: EURO RSCG India

First off, I love the colors. It may just be me, but my eyes are always drawn to bright colors. The leaf/tree design is also really interesting to look at, as it blossoms from the small roots at the bottom. Unfortunately, the image is too small to see clearly, but in some of the leaves you can see a person playing an instrument which is used in promoting the client, Music Society.

PIRATES

Agency: DDB San Francisco

Out of all the ads I chose, this one is my favorite. The music is amazing and makes me feel like I'm watching Pirates of the Caribbean! It also was able to capture the little boy's imagination perfectly. There were fish flying around like birds, and people stacked on each other were taking the place of battle ships. Everything about that scene was simply beautiful.

PEACOCK

Agency:BBDO New York

I mostly like this ad because it looks just like a painting that takes up almost an entire side of the building. A nice change from grafitti.

BREATHTAKING MONTENEGRO

Agency: Luna/TBWA, Belgrade, Serbia

The only thing I know about Montenegro is that it looks AWESOME. Is there anything this country doesn't have? There beautiful mountains for winter sports, crystal clear beachs, forests to go mountain biking, and an entertaining night life! The music gives the commercial an extra touch. At first you hear an opera voice, which sounds like you're entering heaven, and then at the end you hear a more european sound, which I'm guessing is local to the country.

J-POWER:ENVIRONMENT

Agency: Dentsu Japan

When I watch this I feel like I'm looking into a high-tech kaleidoscope. The images jump at you from the screen and they're very bright and clear. The music is also fun and upbeat, which matches the motions well.
