As many of you know I work in advertising, and of course the Super Bowl is like the Super Bowl of ads (wait, what?)... anyway. I thought in general the ads were very underwhelming. Most were boring or retreads of older ads. The beer and auto ads were particularly bad.
To me the best ad of the night was
Googles. It was their first ever TV ad, it was as simple as it could be, yet it told a great story, had a little humor in it and was very cute.

I also have to give a shout out to the Minneapolis team who created a
Doritos ad for their user generated ad contest Doritos holds every year. They didn't win, but they placed in the top three and had the commercial air during the game.
