superbowl commercials

I know nothing about football. and i know even less about cars. but none the less i felt compelled, as i do every year, to watch the super bowl and this year i took notes on what the commercials were. I still like to watch tv, and when i do i like to study what is coming at me and pay attention to what is being advertised, the following is compiled from my handwritten notes on super bowl commercials

below are my actual superbowl notes, sometimes i jot these down in my sketch book. Taking notes on the commercials i watch is a habit i developed when i though i might apply to go to graduate school at the institute for the study of popular television at syracuse.


and now the list with snarky comments and observations thrown in for good measure:

GI Joe- commercial for a movie that will most definitely ruin one of my favorite childhood toys
Hyundai- a car i will never need,
Bud Light.
