Rhett & Link Return With What Might Be the Worst Commercial You've Ever Seen

Drew Weisholtz — Thu, 02 May 2013 17:23:53 +0000

Local commercials donâ€™t get much worse than this. The ad for Arlenâ€™s Transmission in Pasadena, California will leave you scratching your head in bewilderment and laughing in disbelief. Created by viral video wizards Rhett and Link (the good people responsible for the legendary Chuck Testa), this ad has the feel of a â€˜Saturday Night Liveâ€™ [...]

Who's the Hot Girl in the QuiBids Commercial?

GuySpeed Editors — Thu, 11 Apr 2013 19:00:23 +0000

We like to pause our DVR at this point in the commercial and pretend she’s saying, “You’re the one for me,” as we eat our lonely frozen “meals-for-one” dinner. We’ve seen this hot commercial babe more than a few times now, and last night we decided we had to figure out who she was. Kari [...]

Sarah Shahzad — Mon, 04 Feb 2013 21:53:19 +0000

The Prudential life insurance company offered a somewhat chilling look at the inevitability of age and mortality in their Super Bowl 2013 commercial. But fret not! While becoming old and infirm is unavoidable, Prudential can help you soften the blow by ensuring that you’re not old, infirm and destitute. The theme is longer life spans, [...]

Skechers' 2013 GoRun 2 Super Bowl Commercial Teaches You to Outrun a Cheetah

Sarah Shahzad — Mon, 04 Feb 2013 21:44:41 +0000

Skechers’ 2013 Super Bowl commercial for the GoRun 2 running shoes features an adrenalin rush-inducing chase: a gazelle flees from a cheetah, who in turn is run down by a man wearing Skechers’ magic footwear. While we understand the connection between the shoes and this guy’s super speed, we’re not entirely convinced by the ending. [...]

GoPro Baby Does Dubstep in Awesome Super Bowl 2013 Commercial

Emerald Catron — Mon, 04 Feb 2013 18:00:03 +0000

GoPro saved money to pay for their Super Bowl airtime by using one of their own cameras to film their commercial. Well, that's the theory we have anyway. We don't know that for certain. It doesn't really matter, anyway. The only thing that matters is look at the chubby cheeks on this baby! Now we want to buy a camera so we can affix it to other people's heads. Good work, GoPro -- your commercial was a success.

Sarah Shahzad — Mon, 04 Feb 2013 04:29:41 +0000

A trailer for the long-awaited action Western 'The Lone Ranger' starring Armie Hammer, Johnny Depp and (no surprise here) Helena Bonham Carter aired during the Super Bowl.

This new take on the masked lawman is brought to us by the people responsible for 'The Pirates of the Caribbean' and it looks like Johnny Depp's Tonto might become just as iconic as his Jack Sparrow. That is, if you

'2 Broke Girls' Super Bowl Commercial: Kat Dennings + Pole Dancing = Win

ScreenCrush Staff — Mon, 04 Feb 2013 04:29:33 +0000

'2 Broke Girls' took the motto "sex sells" and used it to great effect for their 2013 Super Bowl commercial. There were no clips from the show, no jokes, no nothing really, except stars Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs pole dancing in revealing outfits. And it might've been the most effective commercial of the entire Super Bowl...

New 'Fast & Furious 6′ Commercial Crash Lands at Super Bowl 2013

Tom Blunt — Mon, 04 Feb 2013 03:56:19 +0000

It will take a lot to top all five previous entries in the ‘Fast and the Furious’ franchise, but based on what we saw tonight, six could be the magic number. It’s hard to imagine a movie in which every special effects sequence is as big as the climax from any typical action movie. However, [...]

See M&M's Take on a Meatloaf Classic in Super Bowl 2013 Commercial

Emerald Catron — Mon, 04 Feb 2013 01:37:21 +0000

Red makes a lot of good points in the M&M’s commercial for Super Bowl 2013. We think it’s perfectly fair to not let somebody eat you just because you love them. It’s also absolutely fine to not shove yourself into a pinata or an oven. It’s totally cool if you don’t want to be attacked [...]

Is Oreo Whisper Fight the Funniest Super Bowl 2013 Commercial?

Sarah Shahzad — Mon, 04 Feb 2013 00:38:51 +0000

Oreo's Super Bowl 2013 commercial features a "whisper fight" in a library that breaks out over whether the cream or the cookie is the best part of the glorious whole that is the Oreo. It's nice to see that even having such strong feelings on the issue, every single person involved is mindful of keeping it down in the library.

Jeremy Taylor — Sun, 03 Feb 2013 23:49:34 +0000

Time Warner’s 2013 Super Bowl commercial features some nifty crossÂ promotion with the AMC show ‘The Walking Dead.’ In the spot, we meet a family of humans who lives in a house with zombies.

AXE Super Bowl 2013 Commercial: Lifeguard Gets The Shaft

Joe Student — Sun, 03 Feb 2013 17:00:13 +0000

Male grooming product maker AXE catches plenty of heat for its over-the-top ad campaigns. Its 2013 Super Bowl commercial for AXE Apollo is in lockstep with the company’s irreverent tone. The premise: a hot, young babe is being attacked by a shark. A hunky lifeguard rushes into action to save her. How will she reward [...]
