Sarah Shahzad — Tue, 05 Feb 2013 20:15:25 +0000

Tracy Morgan is Mio (un)Fit In Hilarious Super Bowl 2013 Commercial

Sarah Shahzad — Mon, 04 Feb 2013 20:30:26 +0000

Mio Fit’s Super Bowl commercial features Tracy Morgan advocating the American knack for change, a move that effectively makes the whole situation absurd. Also, we find Tracy to be an interesting choice–since it is in fact a “sports” drink, maybe they should’ve made some kind of nod towards athleticism other than stuffing the former Tracy [...]

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.

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 [...]
