Super Bowl commercials? You got 'em!

I know pretty much nothing about football. Pretty much everything about the sport baffles me. You can score seven points at a time? I just don't get it. I don't get the Super Bowl either, but I do enjoy hearing about the commercials that air during the broadcast. Luckily for me and the others that don't watch the Super Bowl, google has made all the Super Bowl commercials available for viewing.

Addition by David:
Actually, 6 points is the most you can score at a time in football. And Google doesn't appear to have all the commercials, but AOL does. Their superbowl commercials are avaiable here.

  • Since I sat through most of the Superbowl and commercials, here are my recommendations (all with their names on the AOL site):

    I think there were four really good "superbowl-worthy" commercials this year:

    Budweiser: Streaker
    It may help to know that this is part of an ad campaign Budweiser has been running for the past couple years featuring horses playing football.

    Sprint: Locker Room

    Ameriquest: Flight
    The other ad by Ameriquest isn't bad either, but this one is just very well done.

    Careerbuilder: Donkey
    This is also part of ad campaign featuring a guy who, literally, works with monkeys (and advertising a service to help you get a better job).

    Here are some other ads I think are worth watching:
    Sierra Mist: Airport
    FedEx: Cavemen
    Aleve: Leonard Nimoy
    Michelob: Tackle (this one would be truly great, if not for the epilogue)
    United: Knight (just some nice animation)
    Disney: NFL (Those not familiar with superbowl ad history may need to know that Disney had a long-running ad campaign where a star of the superbowl, upon being asked by a faux reporter what he was going to do after winning the superbowl announced, "I'm going to Disneyworld!")
    Budweiser: Barn (I swear, all the females watching this ad said "Aw!" at the conclusion - they must be on to something)
    H3: Li'l Monster (I really liked this ad until I found out it was for a hummer)
    Sprint: Ringtones
    Degree: Stunt City
    Emerald: Druid (Emerald Nuts' commercials are always this weird. They do it for me)
    Mastercard: MacGyver
    Honda: Yosemite (The best car commercial I've seen in a long time)
