Pretty good. Can't wait for all the commercials! Do anyone know who will have the most?

I'm sure Bud or Bud Light will have the most; don't they usually?

I liked it. Not creative or original, but endearing.

Kinda like the polar bear last year.

The Doritos office commercial was the funniest. The NFL commercial with the old sitcoms was cool.

The ones I really liked:
Chrysler Detroit Ad-I'm a huge fan of Detroit rebranding.
NFL TV montage-Cool to see our favorite tv characters
Motorola Xoom-Nice shot at Apple's 1984 commercial
VW Darth Vader-Just a good ad

All the others were alright and a few ones were just bad. Bud Light/ Bud was pretty bad for once.

I also liked the movie trailers: Transformers 3 (looks ok), Thor (looks ok), Captain America (has potential to be great), Cowboys and Aliens (Eh)

I don't usually watch enough to pay close attention to the commercials but I did catch this one and I appreciated the tag at the end of it,

"Imported from Detroit".


Very nice.

It was a good commercial, but the message basically was "Our city sucks, but we make good cars."

And it would have meant more if I didn't watch the news so much and I knew nothing about 3 more Chrysler workers getting busted for doing cocaine last week during their lunch break and stuffing their work lockers with pot, cocaine, and pills.

And just wondering how much we taxpayers paid for this ad.

As a taxpayer $9 million is a bit much for me to stomach no matter the exposure it gets.

I agree completely, and I still don't get it.

The gist is that Detroit is a shithole and the poster child of American manufacturing decline and not NY, Chicago or Las Vegas but because of their grittiness their cars have attitude? If this is considered "rebranding" I think they need to revisit the message. Imported? Did they stop becoming part of the U.S.? If Canada wants Michigan it can take them and their debt and liabilities.

Don't people realize Chrysler is controlled by Fiat?
