FBQOTW: Angels, the Super Bowl, and LaToya Jackson

Nice shirts. I need to be a spokesperson and sponsored athlete for them.

@ginidietrich I especially liked the eye thing. (sorry, couldn't resist!) You might need some homemade powdered sugar to fix that!

@ginidietrich I have to watch this video

@ryanleecox I will! Don't you worry.

@ryanleecox Oh it's snowing a ton! I'll measure when it stops.

@stypecoupe TONS OF SNOW!!!!!!!

@cristerdelacruz LOL!

OMG THANK YOU!

As humans and aliens and Lions know I get pissed when Ad Spend is wasted not selling! So I came down on the little cute kid with the car (see all that money spent and you don't even know it was VW!!!!) so of course to me they wasted their cash. In fact all it showed was you can start the car from inside your home. 1 month later buick showed you can start their car from another country....Body Blow to VW! I also came down hard on Chrysler (M&M didn't prove the cars were still ugly or poor quality) and Pepsi (people assaulted by soda cans? I love Pepsi but fire the creative agency and hire @vinnywarren ! who BTW ahem has created commercials that are actually in the Superbowl Hall of Fame...Wazzzzzzzzup Vinny! 8)

Funny a guy who wears a skirt I mean kilt came down on LaToya. If LaToya could play the pipes and pound whiskey like @Danny Brown she would definitely be a he skirt or kilt.

Sorry Angels are way to big to dance on a pin. BTW New Scientist published that the number of earth sized planets in just the Milky Way is.....drum roll.......millions! So maybe Angels are Aliens but we are still to big for pin dancing.

Lastly I am curious how @KenMueller got his short term memory loss. I know how I got mine....took years...and lots of work....but very proud...wait what were we talking about?

Ok now back to your regularly scheduled program.

Few commercials make me laugh out loud. This one from the SB a couple of years ago did:

Uh Gini, what's with the lighting on this video response from you? Are they preparing to shoot an episode of Ghost Hunters immediately after you finish? I was totally expecting an apparition to come floating out of the wall behind you.

I love the funny Super Bowl ads, but hands down... this is my favorite Super Bowl ad of all time. Only aired once... during the 2005 Super Bowl... but I'll never forget it.

@lisagerber Thanks! I just commented back. Yes, ADBOWL lives on--this will be year 13 (with a lovely apocalypse theme). http://t.co/4SIZd0Fj

I wonder if @stevemckee is doing the Adbowl app again this year? Now that is a really fun way to watch the Superbowl. Yes, I used "fun" and "watch" and "Superbowl" in the same sentence.

@ginidietrich but do you know the for sure, that LaToya is a woman? After while, crocodile!

Well at first I thought I got the shaft, but now I see the reasoning. Since I am being put on hold I expect a top-notch answer next week! Otherwise I will have to resort to alternative resources, aka @lisagerber and @mollimegasko : )

@ginidietrich Happy now?

@ifdyperez LOL!!

Oops, forgot to include this one:

That'll do, Donkey. That'll do. #monkeywrench

@rustyspeidel As luck would have it, I know someone there. They're GREAT shirts!

@Egehead I don't know if homemade powdered sugar would help! My allergies are terrible. But now we have snow so it'll stop.

@nancyd68 I'm quite pleased I came up with an answer for you

@HowieG No, no. Angels are not inanimate, like aliens, so an infinite number of them can dance on the head of a pin. Jeez.

@John_Trader1 If you make loads of money, it may not be time. LOL!

@T60Productions I wonder why they only aired it once? It gave me goosebumps.

@T60Productions That commercial is awesome. I think we often cite commercials that are the funniest as our best memories, and then you get a reminder that often the ones that have the most impact are ones like these.

@stevemckee yesssssssssss.

@Lisa Gerber@stevemckee Yes, yes, yes! And this year we're adding a tablet app to our smartphone app. Plus we always have the website. Head to www.ADBOWL.com and register now.

@ajntb2sli I know for sure she is a woman! See you later, alligator.

@jennimacdonald@lisagerber@mollimegasko You can resort to them, if you like. But I have something pretty cool in mind!

@seanmcginnis VERY HAPPY!!!

@TheJackB Did you read Steve Jobs? They spend quite a bit of time talking about this ad campaign. It's fantastic!

@TheJackB Brilliance.

@jasonkonopinski #weirdo

@ginidietrich I must find some wi-fi so I can watch this! I hear you are getting snow. Is the snow fairy there?

@John_Trader1@T60Productions Tony: There are few things more uncomfortable than a bunch of guys crying at a Super Bowl party, but that was my experience in 2005. :-)

@Steve McKee@Lisa Gerber WOO HOO!!

@ginidietrich You know I like to give you a hard time. Can't wait to see what you've got in store!

@ginidietrich@TheJackB@jasonkonopinski funny I am using a Mac right now. When my windows machines break I borrow a Mac. And never once have I said...OMG why am I using windows?! Yes they break but the OS is way better in my opinion.

@ginidietrich Pretty much, this.

Confession time: I don't give a flip about football or the Super Bowl, so my memory is a bit fuzzy on some of the really good commercials. The Eminem/Motor City/Chrysler commercial definitely stood out last year.

@ginidietrich what are you going to do first?

@nancyd68 SO MUCH snow!

@ginidietrich@Steve McKee@Lisa Gerber Radian 6 and Mullen did the Brand Bowl last year. And the winners were the ones I thought wasted their money on superbowl ads...because they didn't sell the product or brand )VW and Chrysler were two of them) Will check out ad Bowl but warning you I am a hardcore tough Alien.

@ginidietrich@TheJackB@jasonkonopinski also don't forget back in 1984 all that LSD was still fresh in Steve's mind. And the ad proves it. 8)

@HowieG@jasonkonopinski Did you really say M&M?

@jasonkonopinski@ginidietrich worst commercial ever. First I hate M&M. Biggest whiney bastard when I hear his songs. Second did that spot change your view that 1] their cars were not still ugly or 2] not at the bottom of JD Powers Quality? I mean the Sebring? My friend had the convertible.

So who cares about entertaining they wasted their money. Seriously are either of you even going to buy a Chrysler today? You are both way too smart for that. I would believe a Kia before that (sock monkey raves rule!)

@ginidietrich@Lisa Gerber A blasphemer AND anti-American? I'm on a roll. What else can I pile on?

@jasonkonopinski@Lisa Gerber Now it's downright blasphemous that you're aren't a Bears fan.

@Lisa Gerber@ginidietrich See, my grandparents still live in Chicago; Busia has been a Bears fan since they both immigrated from Belgium (along with my dad and aunt) in 1954. I know better to call her when the game's on. :)

@Lisa Gerber@jasonkonopinski I have made you American!

@ginidietrich@jasonkonopinski Jason, I guess I'm anti-american too. So I'm with you. Before I even moved to Chicago, I would wake up on Superbowl morning not even knowing who's playing. Of course, given my current environment, that is no longer the case.

@jasonkonopinski It's football season. Right now you are anti-American.

@ginidietrich Um, what? Baseball, Gertie. America's past-time. Crackerjacks, peanuts. And BEER.

@jasonkonopinski Anti-American.

@ginidietrich Heh. Rugby and baseball are the two sports that I really get excited about.

@jasonkonopinski I'm sorry. You're anti-American.
