Like most people, one of my favorite things about the pre-game Super Bowl hype is hearing about the commercials that will run during the game. This is particularly true this time around, since (due to a calculating error by the NFL) the Redskins didn't make it into the playoffs this year. But is it me or is the hype around this year’s field of ads virtually non-existent? Granted, nothing will ever come close to that Mean Joe Green Coke spot—or even the GoDaddy ad, but come on ad folks, what’s the deal—are you waiting for PETA to submit its spot to be rejected to get the pre-game ad media frenzy started?

Sorry to disappoint, but, this year we decided to take a different approach. Rather than create yet another brilliant spot that is summarily rejected, we decided just to dig into the vault and re-release some of our past Super Bowl classics.

Take a look and let us know what your favorite is. My money is on the pillow fighting co-eds arguing over whether dolphins or unicorns are cuter. The one about the young ladies with udders is kind of amazing too, if a little disturbing. I seriously can't understand why they rejected these masterpieces. Anyway, with PETA's Sexiest Vegetarian 2006—Prince himself—performing at the halftime show, maybe we don't even need an ad this year ...

OK, it's tie for me - I LOVE Turkey Terror and Your Coat both too much to choose between them. I've shown both of these (and the Singing Cows too) on my cable access show and they always get their messages across - Turkey Terror with humor (which sounds odd if you haven't seen the PSA) and Your Coat always, always, brings shocked gasps followed by little light bulbs going off over the head of the viewer. Both are brilliant and deserve to be seen on network tv. Hey, the singing chickens PSA is a winner too.

Your coat is my favorite because it has a message, people will probably laught and think "What is this?" So they watch the whole thing and people will pay attention and maybe go to the website and stop wearing fur.

I wonder what the song played in the FixCats commercial is. If you have any idea on the title/artist, then please leave a message and let me know!
