Thought the ad was not that good, seen many more funnier. Bad choice.

The ad wasn't meant to be funny. It was to touch your heart and it did mine, and several others judging by the replys. Sorry it didn't touch yours.

I used to enjoy the Bud Bowl (Bud vs. Bud Light), but I lost so much money betting on them I had to stop.

Most of the commercials aired during the game are memorable. One that I remember is the Pepsi commercial featuring a goldfish that jumps out of it's bowl to get the drop of Pepsi.

The fact that it's so old, but still ranks #2 says it all. Way to go Coca-cola

While Pepsi' 'It's Beautiful' and, poetically, Coke's 'Mean Joe Green' along with (yet another beverage) Budweiser's Dalmatian whipping the rookie Clysdale into shape are among the most memorable of any commercials shown other than on the Super Bowl, they had the benefit of reinforcement by additional exposure at other times on TV, Apple's Orwellian '1984' was shown only once. However, its startling and lasting impression in stark black and white of one brief moment makes it the all-timer. (Admitedly, the subsequent success of Apple's product adds to the favorable recollection of '1984').
