The Best of the Super Bowl Commercials, Danica Patrick’s Beaver Rejected

Cara Harrington @ Gone Hollywood | Monday, February 4, 2008

The commercial that threatened the well protected bubble of conservative television remains in tact. After Janet Jackson whipped out her floppy boob a few years ago the censors and rules of the game have become strict and raised the bar on boring.

Danica Patrick did a spot for GoDaddy that mentioned the word “beaver.” GASP! The commercial was rejected by FOX network for the slang terminology for lady bits. The ad featured stuffed beavers, as in the woodland creature, while Danica unzipped her jacket and giving the camera come-hither eyes. GoDaddy actually benefited from the axed deal. They managed to keep their spot and run the commercial solely on their website. The ad that aired on FOX directed you to the nearest internet access to get a full view. Being that we lack morals around here, we proudly accept beavers.

I hate to sound like an 80 year old man talking about the hazaa of the good ol’ times, but Super Bowl commercials just aren’t what the used to be. There was a plethora of mediocre ads that failed to make me get that warm tingly Super Bowl commercial love. However, there were a few worthy of mention.

“Mouse Trap”- Doritos

Finally something clever among the masses of crap. Who doesn’t love a guy in a giant mouse costume? Best of the commercials this year easily.

“Baby and a Creepy Clown”- E-Trade

Clowns totally freak my freak. Who knew E-Trading could be so….oddly funny.

“Students”- Bud Light

Foreigners are always funny. The advert was just one of many beer commercials.

“Jump Start”- Amp

Salt and Peppa! Can I get a holla! Seriously, nipples and a plump fellow getting his swerve on…yes!

“Will Ferrell”-Bud Light

Suck one! Priceless. I love the honky man-fro. This is actually one of those dual ads. Bud Light gets pimped along with Will’s new movie “Semi-Pro.”

“Justin Timberlake”- Pepsi

I enjoyed this one because…well…anyone getting racked in the sack (that is not you of course) is pure entertainment. The fact that it was Timberlake was just a little bonus.

“The Godfather”- Audi

It’s one of the more ingenious ads amongst the blah filled downtime of the football game.

“Carville and the Cokes”- Coke (As in Cola)

It is very James Carville meets Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.

“Talking Stain”- Tide

It’s one of those things that is only funny because it is true. It also sounds Steve Carell in the form of a coffee stain.

“What Is Love”- Pepsi Commercial

This one is worthy due to the simple fact that Chris Kattan makes a cameo at the very end. While the ad itself is rather old hat and lacks a real Super Bowl commercial quality, everyone has seen “Night at the Roxbury.”

The Worst Ad

Among the many, many candidates for this position is the Under Armor ad. It was like a better dressed version of “The Matrix.” I continually looked for Keanu Reeves to pop out and be like…”Neo’s back bitches! I always thought I looked fab in red.”
