While I am not a major football fan, I am fairly immersed in the football culture; therefore, Super Bowl is like a national holiday in my household. The perks of watching Super Bowl includes lots of snacking, drinking, more eating and judging ridiculously-expensive commercials… oh right and the actual game itself.

After sitting through four hours of non-stop television, only a few commercial spots jump out at me, which means they did a very memorable job. Out of those few memorable ads, there are two that made the most impression with me: The Doritos® Gym Ninja and Megan Fox.

Now, between those two, the successful commercial is the Doritos® one since I actually do remember what it is selling. On the other hand, the Megan Fox one, while memorable, did not do its job. All I remember is Megan Fox in a bathtub with a cell phone. What does it really sell, I can’t remember. So that is a fail in my book.

The Unexpected:
Betty White is probably one of the most unexpected celebrity to appear in a Super Bowl commercial, which is what made this Snickers ad fun!

Special mentions:
I thought “How I Met Your Mother” Call Barney Stinson TV spot was pretty awesome too.

The most talked-about commercial may just have to go to the one from CBS involving David Letterman, Jay Leno and Oprah.

On a different note, was I the only one who was worried that The Who weren’t going to be able to finish the half-time show?? I mean really, they look so old and about to collapse! And the guitar guy needs to put on MORE clothes!
