Best Super Bowl Commercial

Sorry, the mini Darth Vader one was pretty funny. At least, it got the best reception at the bar I was at. But I am biased...

I liked the subtle fanboy slam by Motorola to "The Leader" in this ad...

Motorola: Moto Xoom

Have to love the visual reference to clones in the

Apple Macintosh 1984 Superbowl Commercial

and the ear-buds as well.

A little geek humor! :lol:

The :60 of the Darth Vader was so much better than the :30. I guess they didn't want to pay the extra 5 million to air the full :60. Wonder if that is why they released it before the super bowl.

That 60 second one is what I saw during the Super Bowl.

It was the same spot, but they cut down the original :60 to :30 I believe. Same spot, less scenes.

I think you are discounting the 30 seconds you spent in the bathroom.

And they probably did a market study case on Sherwood Arkansas and realized the added benefit to purchasing the extra :30 worth of airtime in that specific market.

It takes us twice as long to understand things as it does for you big city folk.

The 30 sec spot showed on TV. Yes, the minut version is better. Favorite part is the baby.
