So I'm multitasking like I promised.
7:09 - Did you see that FedEx commercial with the carrier pigeons? That is definitely the best one so far. I'll get the video for it once it shows up on YouTube in case you happened to miss it. GoDaddy.com also had like a trillion hits thanks to promises of Danica Patrick exposing herself. Don't waste your time, guys. (Mark)
7:14 - Wow, am I pumped for Iron Man. They showed a trailer during Cloverfield, but the one they justed showed a bit more action. Oh and Tom Petty - get off my television. (Mark)
7:20 - A new movie trailer just played for Leatherheads, a old-time Football movie involving George Clooney and Christina Applegate (Married With Children, Anchorman). The movie doesn't look that funny, but there is a solid scene with a big dude punching people when given the instruction to hit anyone coming at him. (Ed)
7:29 - Fuck Carlos Mencia. (Ed)
7:35 - Is there some sort of rewards game where the more Pepsi you drink, the further you are away from Justin Timberlake? Why is this guy in everything? (Melissa)
8:00 - I hear "Free Falling" in the background. Are they cheating me out of some Petty? Get out of here. (Mark)
8:02 - So far, nothing too exciting. For 90,000 dollars a second, you would think these commercials would be all out. STEP IT UP! (Ed)
8:06 - "Is he going to die?" - Mark referring to Tom Petty. Mark also feels that Tom should join Clyde Frazier and Keith Hernandez in the Just For Men commercials. (Ed)
8:09 - He's horrible and it looks like he hasn't aged too well. So far, we've got "American Girl," "I Won't Back Down" and "Free Fallin'." It's sad that he's still willing to wear tight black denim, or something that resembles tight black denim. (Melissa)
8:14 - Jeez, we're having a bit of trouble here. I guess we all want to say something about Tommy boy and are overlapping each other and deleting each other's comments. Actually that's just Melissa. Hey Melissa, back off. Petty rocks your world. "Free Fallin'" was just fine. (Mark)
8:21 - Bring back the game or let Prince play every halftime show till he dies. (Ed)
8:28 - Prince is immortal. So that bodes well for America. (Mark)
8:35 - Duncan just asked me what the so bad it's good commercial of the night was so far. I wasn't sure what to say until that Bridgestone commercial came on with Richard Simmons. I don't even know how they are related, but Simmons almost got hit by a car so they were close to making some extra sales. (Mark)
8:40 - They just announced that they'll be posting all of the commercials on MySpace 2008 Superbowl Ads. (Melissa)
8:54 - Bud Light is terrible and so are their new series of commercials. This will probably be my last post of the night due to the fact that my MacBook's battery is almost dead. Night folks. (Ed)
9:26 - We should get those E-Trade commercials on here; a baby is way more convincing than regular people. (Melissa)
9:27 - The rules are being broken by the minute. First, Ed was hating on the baby commercials and then Melissa praises them. He was also hating on the Bud Light commercials and then Will Farrell saves them while also promoting Semi-Pro. Another movie I'm personally looking forward to since it has two of my favorite things. Ridiculous comedy involving drunks playing basketball. Wait, maybe that's more than two. (Mark)
9:44 - I hope that I'm not the only one thinking this, but with all of the crazy energy drinks Ed always has, did anyone else picture him in that Amp commercial? That one should also be on this post. (Melissa)
10:15 - We're done here. Ed is, of course, pissed about the outcome of the game. I would be too if somehow the Jets were able to go 18-0. We will try to get some links to the commercials we talked about in these updates in case you missed them during the game or want to revisit the good ones. (Mark)

The dancing lizards Life Water commercial weirded me out. In a charming way. I just didn't understand the lizard tie in to the product. Or what the point of "life water" really even is.
Sobe uses lizards as a logo, that explains that, Life Water, just seems like a sad rip-off of Vitamin Water which is delicious.
I didn't get it until I saw the "Sobe" grill on one of the lizards and then I thought of Steve.
This was the year I was hoping for a halftime wardrobe malfunction. Tom Petty is dreamy.
Semi Pro looks like a good idea for at least now. I thought the baby commercials were pretty good compared to some of the other ones.
The baby spitting up was completely too much. They had made there point. Yes, a baby trading stocks. WOW.
