Super Bowl Commercial: Sharpie – Hook

5 February 2006

A guy who works as a children's mascot tells about why the new retractable Sharpie is so convenient.

He plays a Captain Hook-like character, with a huge head and a hook.

He complains about the hook, and we see him fumbling around with several different things. He also adds that the hook makes it impossible to sign autographs, as there's no way to get the caps off of the Sharpies.

The Sharpie retractable pen is everything to him, as he needs only the one hand to sign his autographs now.

Super Bowl Commercial: Ameriquest – Airplane

5 February 2006

The second Ameriquest "Don't judge too quickly" commercial is as entertaining as the first one.

During a nighttime flight, a woman in a window seat needs to get out of her seat. The problem is that two sleeping men are between her and the aisle. The man in the aisle seat is wearing a sleeping mask.

She gets up, shimmies past the first passenger, and is about to pass the second man. At just the right moment, some turbulence rattles the plane around a bit, knocking the woman forward so she ends up straddling the man's lap, and she pushes the sleeping mask up his head just a little bit.

Of course, the turbulence wakes the entire plane up, and the lights come on. Everyone sees this woman straddling the man, who has a sleeping mask around his head.

Classic.

Super Bowl Commercial: Disney – Practicing

5 February 2006

This Disney commercial shows the various Super Bowl players practicing the "I'm Going to Disney World!" victory line.

Players from both sides keep trying and trying, watching video of former players and asking friends for advice.

Not funny, but this one is a nice, solid commercial.

Super Bowl Commercial: Sprint – Crime Deterrent

5 February 2006

Two friends are changing in a locker room, and one of them is talking about his new Sprint phone.

Among the benefits, he mentions "crime deterrent."

His friend asks, "Crime deterrent?", so the guy tells him to try and take his wallet. As the guy goes for the wallet, the Sprint customer whips the phone and hits his friend directly in the face, knocking him to the floor.

The guy gets up and threatens to report him, at which point, the Sprint owner again fires the phone at his head, knocking him out.

Violent, but fun.

Super Bowl Commercial: ABC – Lost

5 February 2006

Lost gets an awesome commercial during the Super Bowl.

Mr. Ekko gives Locke the filmstrip, but it has Robert Palmer on it.

They load the film, and Robert Palmer appears, singing "Addicted to Lost."

On the "throat is tight" line, we see Charlie being choked by Ethan. On the addiction theme, Jack asks, "When was your last fix?"

Of course, the commercial ends with Locke's line: "We're going to have to watch that again."

Watch the extended, 3-minutes "Addicted to Lost" video! Here's the 1-minute version that aired:

Super Bowl Commercial: Budweiser – Streaker

5 February 2006

The football-playing Clydesdales are back.

As they line up at the line of scrimmage with the assortment of animals on the sideline, a fully-shorn sheep runs out onto the field.

One of the cowboys watching the game comments, "Streaker."

The sheep then stands up on its hind legs and writhes around for a bit. Viewers are spared as the bottom of the screen is blocked by an animal's head.

The cowboy responds, "Didn't need to see that."

Super Bowl Commercial: Ameriquest – Fly

5 February 2006

Two doctors (or nurses, not sure yet) is standing over a patient, but a pesky fly keeps buzzing about their heads.

One of them grabs the defibrillator (the electric pads they rub together and discharge on people's chest) and zaps the fly right ouf of the air, killing it instantly.

The fly falls out of the air, right onto the patient's chest. The guy bends over to look closely at the fly just as the patient's wife and daughter walk in to visit him.

Just as the relatives walk in, the doctor declares, "Well, that killed him." The wife and daughter give a look of horror, and the nurses, realizing the situation, give a similar look back.
