Top 5 Superbowl XVIII Ads
The game was one of the best of all-time. The ads? There was no “Apple Macintosh 1984” or “Bud Bowl” TV spot but a few ads stepped up this year. Here are my favorite ads from Superbowl XVIII:
1) Hulu: Alec and Huluwood
Alec Baldwin cements his place as one of the funniest people on the planet…or perhaps not.
2) Monsters vs. Aliens: Trailer 3D
125 million pairs of 3D glasses make this the most memorable advertising gimmicks in recent memory.
3) Doritos: Crystal Ball
Don’t try this at your office.
4) CareerBuilder.com: Tips
If you’re one of these people, it’s probably time to start looking for a new job.
5) Audi: Chase
Jason Statham makes me want to go out and buy an A6.
Dishonorable Mention – G
Gatorade takes one of the most well-known brands in the world and changes the name to one forgettable letter.

1) Did anyone see the 1-second High Life ad? I (predictably) missed it. The press release announcing it was a bigger deal than the ad, apparently.
2) “What is G?” A weak ad campaign. They’ll be back to Gatorade soon enough, just like Tropicana’s recent redesign failure.
