Betty White Wins Every Time


It goes without saying that my favorite ad from last night's Super Commercial Bowl 2010 was Betty White's commercial for Snickers. Betty White is like bacon. Her presence makes everything better. That being said, Snickers did get it a little twisted. Betty White could murder a herd of Khloe Kardashians just by flinching, so I didn't appreciate that "you're playing like Betty White" line. More like you're NOT playing like Betty White.

The rest of the commercials paled in comparison, but let's talk bout a couple of them anyway. Google's ad was at the top of a bunch of lists. While watching this mess, I couldn't help but think that Hollywood is going to turn this into a feature-length romantic comedy starring Tom Hanks as the Googler and Meg Ryan as the French girl. You've Got Google In Paris!


Oprah and Letterman's sequel to their 2007 ad also starred Conan O'Brien's dream killer. The commercial is more entertaining if you picture all of them pantless. And also if you picture Gayle King munching on Oprah's Frito-Lay pie.


Click here to see the rest of the commercials. The theme of the night was the balls-less man! Is Kate Gosselin producing commercials now?

I love Betty White, and that's why I actually didn't like the commercial. It seemed kinda mean to old people. Why is it funny watching old people getting knocked down? Didn't really see the humor. jmho

When Abe Vigoda appeared there was a collective cry of "Fish!" in my rec room, lol.

I think Leno and Letterman are both tired - give me Craig Ferguson any day of the week and I'm a happy woman.

Thank goodness there was Betty White! She single handedly saved an otherwise boring super bowl adfest this year.

The Bud Light Vocoder was the best.

My sense of humor appreciates the Teleflora commercial.

The Who was lame, so blame Justin and Janet. Instead of pulling them from the grave, I predict(and sadly i'm serious) they will go the other direction and Justin Bieber will be the entertainment next year.

The best character ever created for prime-time television was Sue Ann Nivens on the Mary Tyler Show. Watching sweet faced Betty playing that two faced, conniving woman was really a treat!

The Chevy Chase hotel commercial with the kid valet karate-kicking his car's door shut made me laugh.

There is no way Orcah Winfrey was there in person. If so she would be eating the food on the table in front of her fat ass.

love, love, LOVE me some Betty White!!! that's the Golden Girl for sure. So nice to see that she is so loved by many at her age.

Loved Betty White and the house made of budlight cans. The chickens were funny also.

Google just summed up how boring a breeder's life is.

Betty White and Abe Vigoda in the same commercial rocked! Someone needs to put them back on TV starring in their own show and let everyone know how it's done. I was so into Betty I didn't even pay attention to the Snickers part. Now that's star power!

Soultonic's picture

This commercial is completely a publicity stunt for all in attendance. Jay wants to gain his popularity again for his Late Night show (ratings folks), Oprahs wants to maintain her savior/mediator/angel of heaven image, and Letterman wants Jay to shut the fuck up with the infidelity jokes (he wants a draw).

Phony commercial and rather uncomfortable to watch. Bitches.

Have you ever wondered what happeded to the guys on the "Wassup" Bud commercial?

Watch and see. Be sure to watch the entire thing. Its sooo funny!

I thought they were all pretty weak. Like SNL, the Super Bowl commercials used to be clever, or at least funny.

I mean who gives as a rat's ass about the fucking super bowl and the ads? Seriously. Football is just about the WORST sports out there. Horrible. Mind numbingly stupid - just like its players. So whats the fucking deal with the ads during super bowl. ESPECIALLY if one of the ads has that hypocritical, cunty oreo Oprah fucking Winfrey in it.

How do you really feel about that CandyPerfumeGirl? LOL

It gave me the chills and goosebumps against my will.

Jack - It does kind of seem like a conspiracy though after that commercial.

I liked Petty too. The years all run together, but Prince, Stones, and all those dinosaurs are my cups of tea.

Supertramp,
THey did sound horrible at first. I don't know if they got better as it went on or if I just got used to it?? I have never been a huge Who fan, but I do like a lot of their songs.

I watched some of the commercials. I can't believe the Megan Fox one made me laugh. The best damn thing she has ever been in.

The Careerbuilder ad had me in tears. Especially when he went to get some water from the water cooler.
