Ahhh...you thought I was gonna comment on Peyton Manning and our Broncos' play at the Super Bowl. Nope, not going there. But I do have something to say about the commercials. The near 50 30-second, $4million commercials included the serious, the bizarre, the movie star endorsement, the off-the-wall, the really?, the I don't get it, the cute, the artsy, and the Ahhhh commercials. It was most interesting to review the analysis that determined what made for hits or misses. Budweiser again won the USA TODAY'S Ad Meter for Super Bowl Commercials with "PUPPY LOVE". Coming in second was Dorito's Kid Dressed as a Cowboy Riding a Big Dog Lassoing a Bag Of Doritos. Generally speaking, focus groups went for a "KINDER AND GENTLER" genre. The consensus was that winning ads "touched the depths of my soul." Often there was no dialog, just music, and great images.
Funny how that "kinder and gentler" phrase keeps showing up. I think there just might be something to that. In my own world, I've noticed that those are the paintings that keep flying off my walls. Good thing is that it feeds my soul too.
