Top 3 Best/Worst Ads of Super Bowl XLIV

Let's face it, this year's crop of Super Bowl commercials were an utter disappointment. It was more difficult than ever to find three ads worthy of being designated "the best", and equally as difficult narrowing down "the worst" from an enormous pile of simply awful advertising (Talking babies? Kooky animals? What decade is this!?). And yet we soldier on, driven by the sheer importance of designating the top three best and worst commercials of Super Bowl XLIV.

~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~
The Best
~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~


{3rd} Robin Hood: Trailer
Do we need another Robin Hood movie? Probably not. Am I pretending this is
the long-rumored
Gladiator sequel I always wanted? Yes I am.


{2nd} Snickers: Hungry
Betty White
and Abe Vigoda? In the same commercial!? SOLD!


{1st} Google: Parisian Love
The obvious choice. It's simple, it's touching, and, considering how I use Google somewhere between 25-50 times a day for searches related to just about
every aspect of my life, it's relatable.


~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~
The Worst
~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~


{3rd} Focus on the Family: Tebow and Mom
Oh look, it's Tim Tebow's mother talking about her "miracle baby," what
a beautiful...and Tim Tebow just tackled his own mother. Awkward.
(Bonus: Head over to the Focus on the Family website to give your brain a free wash!)



{2nd} Bud Light: Auto-tune
A Bud Light auto-tune commercial during last year's Super Bowl: trendsetting.
A Bud Light auto-tune commercial during this year's Super Bowl: embarrassing.
Oh how the mighty advertisers have fallen.



{1st} Late Show: Letterman, Leno, & Oprah
WOW, it's EVERYMAN Jay Leno, the guy that DESTROYED the Tonight Show career of Conan O'Brien, doing a commercial for a RIVAL network's late night talk show!
HA HA HA HA HA, FUN-NY!

What does it say about me that I thought your top 2 "worst commercials" were two of the best? Haha.
