Alice Cooper, Richard Simmons Make it to the Super Bowl

These are two more Super Bowl ads that received a 96% favorable rating from the viewing audience, which made them two of the more popular ads shown during the big game. The first ad shows a business using carrier pigeons instead of FedEx to ship merchandise and is quite clever and very funny.



The second ad shows Alice Cooper and Richard Simmons, not a very likely combination, in a Bridgestone tire commercial. Simmons behaves at his usual level of maturity, which is slightly younger than a prepubescent 16-year-old.

His voice alone is hard to take, let alone his personality, but despite all of that, the ad comes off well anyway. Whoever created the ad presented Simmons as an annoyance, which is what he really is, making the ad that much better.



Whatever Simmons was paid for his work in the ad was too much. If I were driving the vehicle, not hitting Richard Simmons regardless of the tires involved would have been a major challenge. Ah, from my lips to God's ears.

More Funny Super Bowl Ads with Justin Timberlake and Naomi Campbell

Pepsi came up with two terrific Super Bowl ads that are both clever and funny, although recommending the product they are touting in the first ad would be a challenge. The ad is pushing Diet Pepsi Max, which includes ginseng extract and an increased amount of caffeine, all of which is designed to keep you awake.

Basically they are selling uppers, which is not illegal, but is it ethical for Pepsi to advertise that its product gets you slightly high?

But then again, do most of us care? Nah! What the hey! Life is short. Drink Diet Pepsi Max and get high.

Diet Pepsi Max is featured in the first video.



The second video is also a Pepsi commercial and features Justin Timberlake. There are some very funny moments in this one.

I especially like the part where Justin's crotch is repeatedly bashed into the mail box post. Watch.



Naomi Campbell is the star of the third ad, and that alone makes it worth watching. The music is a take off on Michael Jackson's Thriller, which is somewhat of a surprise because Jackson is not exactly a welcome name in many US households lately.

The ad seems to work though, is very entertaining and was one of the higher rated ads aired during the Super Bowl. The cosmetic teeth job on the one lizard is especially good.

Bud Light Fire Breather and Hank the Clydesdale

Some of the Super Bowl ads were awesome this year. Here is one of my favorites: the Bud Light fire breathing ad.



And of course what was possibly the most popular Super Bowl ad, Hank the Clydesdale.
