 I missed the first quarter..I loved the dancing grizzlies doing " P-E-P-S-I"



833.4GAVEL::JANDROWMrs. Stephen Howard-to-beMon Jan 27 1997 09:035
    
    the flying pigeons commercial was the one i liked best.  the first
    pepsi one (with the baby in the hospital) was a cute one.  some of the
    others were beyond stupid...
    
833.5Thank goodness for remote controls ...BRITE::FYFEUse it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without.Mon Jan 27 1997 09:317
So many GD commercials and player profiles in the first few minutes
that I set up the recorder to record the game while I watched The Sting.

I flipped back and forth to watch the plays only ...

Glad the commercials subsided before the end of the 1'st ...
833.6CONSLT::MCBRIDEIdleness, the holiday of foolsMon Jan 27 1997 09:351
    Neanderthal Budmen.  
833.7MKOTS3::JMARTINEbonics Is Not ApplyMon Jan 27 1997 09:501
    The Little Caesar commercials!
833.8ACISS2::LEECHTerminal PhilosophyMon Jan 27 1997 10:022
    I'll cast my vote for the pigeons... also thought the chicken crossing
    the road was pretty good.
833.9TROOA::BUTKOVICHtry a little tendernessMon Jan 27 1997 10:392
    'course we got the Canadian simulcast, thus missing out on seeing any
    of the new, creative commercials.  Stuck with the same old, same old.
833.10SMURF::BINDERErrabit quicquid errare potest.Mon Jan 27 1997 11:171
    Holiday Inn.  Hilarious when the guy recognized the babe.
833.11BUSY::SLABAs you wishMon Jan 27 1997 11:387
    
    	I wasn't paying much attention, so the only 1 I really noticed
    	was the 1 with the hamster turning the wheel that supplied power
    	to the city block.
    
    	That was pretty good.
    
833.12GAVEL::JANDROWMrs. Stephen Howard-to-beMon Jan 27 1997 11:4910
    
    oh yes!  forgot about the hampster one.  'course, i had to explain it
    to one of the viewers who was neither a beer drinker or a football fan. 
    but that was a good one.
    
    and 1/2 way thru the holiday inn one, steve said "bet it's a guy" and
    didn't know what he was talking about...and he was right!  and i got a
    kick out of the fact that the "guy's" name was the same as a friend's
    father's...              
    
833.13WMOIS::CONNELLBe careful. We have boxes.Mon Jan 27 1997 11:569
    The Immodium AD commercial, where the guy struggles and struggles to
    hold it in and then can't and has to make repeat trips to the men's
    room at the stadium. He just makes it to within a few feet of the
    entrance and suddenly, it's halftime and a bazillion people are in
    front of him.

833.18one more...MAIL1::BARNESJMon Jan 27 1997 16:1010
    I guess no-one saw the missing Pepsi and the trail of cans out to the
    cow pasture, the local sheriff investigating the disappearance and,
    
    	"I think the fat one knows"........  
    
    ending with a view of packaged meat in the butcher case.

    I liked the Bob Dole Visa best.
    Holiday Inn was also very funny.
    Pepsi dancing Bears was cute.
833.23and the worst is..EDSCLU::JAYAKUMARTue Jan 28 1997 11:008
..and the worst commercial is..!



	the 2 dirt-devil commercials, especially the one with guy dancing on
the steps. Howie Carr, had a list of top 10 in his show yesterday. I missed 
them. Most of the callers said they liked, Bob Dole's Visa and CompuServe ads.
833.24EDSCLU::JAYAKUMARTue Jan 28 1997 11:034
and there was one, with over a hundred shots in a background of rap music
(it seemed like rap). It was so annoying, that I can't even remember what
the product was!
833.25ACISS1::BATTISChicago - My Kind of TownTue Jan 28 1997 11:174
    
    the man in the dirt devil commercials was the Fred Astaire, arguably
    the finest tap dancer ever. They were taken from his movies, can't
    remember which ones, though.

  I'll go with Bob Dole's....great delivery.

    didnt' like the dirt devil commercials at all.
    
    forgot about the missing pepsi and the cows.  that was a funny one.
    
    heard this morning that holiday inn is pulling its commercial about bob
    showing up at his class reunion as a babe.  seems the conservatives
    were not happy.  seems to me the conservatives have no sense of humor.
    it's a good commercial.
    
    
833.31WAHOO::LEVESQUESpott ItjWed Jan 29 1997 10:111
    I thought it was a funny commercial. Some people need to lighten up.
833.32LANDO::OLIVER_Bready to begin againWed Jan 29 1997 10:113
    /seems to me the conservatives have no sense of humor.

833.33BIGQ::SILVAhttp://www.ziplink.net/~glen/decplus/Wed Jan 29 1997 10:272

scary! :-)
833.34commercial by DickSWAM1::MEUSE_DAFri Jan 31 1997 17:2810
    
    not shown during the Super Bowl, but really quite interesting and 
    bizarre.
    
    
    Miller Lite beer, tacky looking magician and shapely assistant
    lady in backround. She ends up with fur in her armpits.
