Game was super. Commercials? Eh

The Super Bowl was just that.

Its commercials? Not so super.

Here's my two cents during what was a great game:

LeBron James and Dwight Howard playing for a sack of McDonald's. Then Larry Bird steals their lunch. Loved it.

Bud Light's commercials left me cold. I don't mean that in a good way, either. Especially the one with bottles as microphones. Hated it. The one with the "Lost" theme was the best of a forgettable lot.

The Tebow spot? This is what the fuss was over? It was well done.

The texting ad with the old Chicago Bears reprising their Super Bowl shuffle was weak. I liked the original 35 years ago.

Of all the Doritos commercials, I loved the one with the boy, the single mom and her new suitor the best. Pow! Keep your hands off my mama. And keep your hands off my Doritos.

Those Go Daddy.com spots with Danica Commercial were nowhere.

Monster.com's fiddling beavers? Cute.

Budweiser's human bridge? Hmmm. Dug the one with the Clydesdales and the longhorn steer, though.

And what was with careerbuilder.com and the pants commercial after it? Bad bodies in underwear? Ugh.

The VW commercial with people punching each other in the arm after spotting a VW in a different color was clever. Took a second to understand what they were saying. But clever.

Enough with Denny's and the screaming chickens. The first time was funny. Then it got old.

The e-trade spots with the toddlers has gotten old, too. Way old.

The Coke commercial with the guy sleepwalking through perilous terrain to "Bolero" was good.

Please tell me our tax dollars didn't pay for that incomprehensible spot about the U.S. Census.

Taco Bell and Charles Barkley? Eh.
