I watched most of the Super Bowl game and of course saw the ads. My problem is that although I remember ads, I almost never remember the product that is being advertised. So when the next day people rave about or pan the ads by product name, I have no idea which ones they are talking about unless they describe it. If you are like me, you can see most of the ads here.
I do remember that some of them were weird, some awful, some incomprehensible, and a few rather nice.

From That Mitchell and Webb Look.
He hosted the Golden Globes awards show and let fly at all manner of targets. Either British awards shows are much edgier than ours (which is quite possible) or he had the kind of abandon that comes from not wanting to be invited to host again.
See also his final thank yous which likely sealed his fate.
You’ve gotta love Ricky Gervais.
This nasty man richly deserves all the harsh treatment that he receives.
