Although this year's Super Bowl was a close game that came down to the final minutes, this year's batch of commercials seemed to be noticeably less impressive than previous years. Normally, advertisers bring their A-game to "the big game" with commercials that are so funny or inventive that people still talk about them years later.
For the 2011 Super Bowl, there were still a few advertisements that lived up to challenge of their rivals, or some other Sylvester Stallone reference. Here then are the ten best Super Bowl commercials of 2012, followed by the ten worst commercials. And it was hard keeping the second list to just ten choices...
The Best:
Doritos: Man's Best Friend
Tony Soprano reborn as a dog. Fortunately, his owner can bribed cheaply.
Kia: Optima - A Dream Car. For Real Life.
Adriana Lima, Chuck Liddell and Motley Crew bring you strange dreams. This is what commercials will be like when they figure out how to beam them directly into our brains.
Chevrolet: Sonic's First
The ad says that these stunts are "100% Real." It's hard to believe, but awesome if true.
Hyundai: Cheetah
What I love about this one, is that of course the cheetah would do that. Try getting any cat ever to do something that you want. It never works out.
Hyundai: All for One
Rocky lives!
