    Super Bowl ads: The best and worst

    WORST

    Ad That Made Us Not Want to Hang Out With the People In It

    The clips for Budweiser's Black Crown beer touted the ale as "our kind of beer," while groups of hipster doofuses clad all in black toasted each other. We'll paraphrase Groucho Marx here and say we wouldn't want to be a part of any club full of black-clad hipster doofuses that would have us.

     

    The How Can We Miss You If You Won't Go Away? Ad

    We totally respect Psy's decision to get another payday out of "Gangnam Style," but didn't he promise he was retiring the song for 2013? Dude, we're officially expecting you to keep your word on that now.

     

    The Worst Ad Where the Nerd Gets the Girl

    Supermodel Bar Refaeli and frequent TV guest nerd Jesse Heiman took more than five dozen takes to nail that cringe-worthy lip-lock commercial for Go Daddy, and the original cut of the clip was so steamy CBS opted for the one we saw. Think Heiman would have done the ad for free?

    The Yeah, So What, a Goat Will Eat Anything Ad

    Loved the Doritos princess ad. But the one where the guy buys a goat that eats him out of house and Doritos? That's not really saying much, Doritos. We once witnessed a goat eat a baby diaper. A used baby diaper. So … yeah.

    The Liz Lemon Memorial "What the What?" Ad

    Hey, Bud Light, sure, one of Stevie Wonder's greatest hits is "Superstitious." But it is on that thin premise that you dress him up in a creepy suit and hat and have him cackling like a loon while superstitious sports fans offer him beer in exchange for voodoo curses? And yes, we know neither Tina Fey nor her "30 Rock" character had anything to do with this commercial or the Super Bowl and no reason to be connected to this is any way. Kinda our point.


    The Liz Lemon Memorial "What the What?" Ad, Silver Medalist

    "That's the power of German engineering," said the voiceover in Volkswagen's ad that featured a bunch of white dudes speaking in Jamaican accents. The debate continues on various social media websites about whether or not the ad is racist. But whatever your opinion on that front, we still have to ask: what does German engineering have to do with Jamaican accents anyway?

    • How Blogger Spun Abercrombie & Fitch CEO’s Comments Into a Chance for Change

      Blogger Jes Baker is blasting popular clothing brand Abercrombie & Fitch for trying to define beauty with a number. Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Mike Jeffries has recently come under major fire for comments he made to Salon.com back in 2006. He talked about the store's refusal to sell anything bigger than a size large and only wanting the "All-American kid with a great attitude and a lot of friends" to represent the brand. "Omg! Insider" sat down with Baker, who is fighting back with Abercrombie ads of her own, where she poses topless with a male model and reinterprets the A&F letters to stand for a message she truly believes in, "Attractive & Fat." "I don't really care what Abercrombie really truly thinks about this, to be honest with you. I don't have the energy to dislike Mike Jeffries," she said during the interview. "There's so much negativity in the world, it doesn't need to be perpetuated." Baker also included an open letter to Jeffries on her website, the Militant Baker, criticizing the company for its narrow view of what beauty really is and promoting the idea that every size is beautiful. "The only thing you've done through your comments (about thin being beautiful and offering XL and XXL in your stores for men) is reinforce the unoriginal concept that fat women are social failures, value-less, and undesirable," Baker wrote. "Well, actually, that's not all you have done. You have also created an incredible opportunity for social change." Check out this vid to see what else the blogger has to say about the brand, and for more from her interview, tune in to "omg! Insider" on television tonight. Continue reading →
