"It was funny to see the animal and woman screaming back and forth," Balser said.
There was a 30-second spotlight on George Clooney's newest movie, "Leatherheads," written by former Sports Illustrated writer Rick Riley, about football in the1920s. Similarly, the new action movie, "Wanted" about a league of assassins was also introduced.
"The first commercial should have set a high standard for the rest of the commercials, not the opposite," said Brian Kelly, a 4th-semester physical therapy major. "The Budweiser commercial about the fire was not funny at all. That commercial did nothing for their product. Lucky for Budweiser, they had funnier commercials to make up for that one, like the Carlos Mencia dating one."
Lauren Albert, a 4th-semester accounting major, personally loved the Shaquille O'Neal horse racing, commercial for Vitamin Water, commenting that "anytime Shaq smiles, we all smile!"
For those of you who missed any commercials or do not want to wait for them to be aired again, you can check all of them out at myspace.com/superbowlads.
