That Burger King ad with the singing parts of a Whopper was pretty disturbing.

The Bud Light ones are ok, but the Diet Pepsi really suck.

The Diet Pepsi one with Jackie Chan was alright, the other sucked.
The FedEx commercial with the cavemen was pretty funny.
I liked the magic wall/refigerator beer ad as well.

I thought the grizzley bear bud light ad was superior to the magic fridge.

Freaky underage Clydesdale pony pulling the Bud wagon was interestingly disturbing. His parents covertly nudge along his interest and identification with beer aspirations.

my favorite is the guy who fell though the roof while drinking beer...
It really did happen to my friend... He almost got a skylight. Lucky us already had the shingles torn off to put the new roof on we just had to put a new piece of plywood in.
You shouldn't make fun of nerds... you'll be working for one some day.

The funniest by far to me were the two Ameritrade "Don't Judge Too Quickly" spots. The airplane one was the best commercial of the night!

That one was my little group's choice for favorite ad.
One should never stop striving for clarity of thought and precision of expression.
I would prefer my humanity sullied with the tarnish of science rather than the gloss of religion.

I enjoyed the FedEX commercial. My Buddy and I thought that was one of the best of the night. Also the Beer commercial with the 2 campers and the bear was pretty good too.

What was pretty disturbing was the opening sequence of the superbowl when they did it to Dr Seuss.

I liked the one with the chick getting sacked after she was taking trash.

FedEx was probably my second favorite.

Slick shoes?! Are you crazy?!

I enjoyed the magic fridge one a lot. I'm surprised no one has mentioned the fake Fabio shampoo, I got a kick out of that.
