Super Bowl Party 2007

February 4, 2007

Party goers waving

Living Water's 3rd Annual (and Clif's 23rd Annual) Super Bowl party was Sunday night, Feb. 4, 2007. We held a party to watch and rate the Super Bowl ads, and amazingly an entertaining football game broke out! Congratulations to the Colts who won the football game 29-17 over the Bears, and Anheuser-Busch who won the ad game.

Here are our favorite Super Bowl commercials of 2007, tallied from the 38 ballots turned in:

  1. Anheuser-Busch ad featuring immigrants learning how to ask for a Bud Light (59 points).
  2. Anheuser-Busch ad where guys play "rock, paper, scissors" for a beer (34 points).
  3. General Motors ad where shirtless guys can't keep their hands off the Chevy HHR (17 points).

Honorable Mention: Anheuser-Busch ad with a stray dog and the Clydesdales (15 points), Anheuser-Busch ad with apes plotting to get a Bud Light (14 points), and the Snickers ad with two auto mechanics eating the same candy bar (13 points).

Anheuser-Busch is a perennial power, so no surprise there. But congratulations to General Motors for having the guts to air an amateur ad and for breaking into the top three with the ad.

USA Today's Ad Meter results are here, with the full story here. Their rankings:

  1. Anheuser-Busch ad showing crabs worshiping an ice chest of Budweiser.
  2. Anheuser-Busch ad with a stray dog and the Clydesdales.
  3. Anheuser-Busch ad where guys play "rock, paper, scissors" for a beer.

MSNBC has created a Super Bowl ad tournament bracket where you can view all the ads.
