What You Need to Know! Week of 2/15/2010

Sooooo I missed a week. Things have been a little crazy in this girl's life. Now that the snow is melting and work has calmed down, I'm starting to recognize my life again. A long overdue shout out to Erin, the boy's wife, for her 27th birthday which was Feb. 7th. Happy Birthday Erin!

Since I've had my head stuck in the ground for the last 2 weeks I dont really know what's going on in the world so here, as promised, are my favorite and least favorite commercials from the Super Bowl. (with links so you can watch)

Best 5
1. Volkswagen Punching Game

2. E Trade Commercials (like them both)

3. Kia w/ the sock monkey

4. Snickers w/ Betty White (She's so funny)

5. Google - this commercial (subject matter aside) was a glimpse into my work day

Worst 5
1. Boost Mobile- it wasnt funny, it wasnt original, it was miserable
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLCbh2hAdqE
2. Taco Bell feat. Charles Barkley- How do you make Taco Bell food seem more appealing? You dont ask Charles Barkley, who has recently put on 300 lbs, to sell it.

3. All of the Go Daddy commercials- these have always been bad and always will be.

4. All of the Doritos commercials- this is out of spite.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Nxz-qiA8UQ
5. All of the Bud Light commercials- Weak sauce. Expected more.

Other commercials worth mentioning,
-Tim Tebow's commercial- I dont know if it was edited after the uproar when the announcement about Tim Tebow doing an anti-abortion ad was made but this commercial was harmless and didnt really stand for anything.
-Letterman/Oprah/Leno commercial- It was funny the first time they did this a couple years ago with just Oprah and Dave, but now it doesnt really mean anything. Kinda fitting for Jay. Someone should have had gotten Conan to do a commercial. People could get into that. I should be in advertising.

I promise to have more exciting news to discuss next week.
