Whose Super Bowl ad will suck the most? Every year, the Super Bowl ad orgy serves up its series of duds. This week’s Adweek.com poll asks which client is likely to toss a turd in the punchbowl with a seriously unfunny, undeniably lame commercial during this year’s game. There are many appealing candidates. Perhaps Bob Parsons has lost his creative touch. Or maybe SalesGenie’s inevitable offer of free sales leads will not wow you. Then there’s Hyundai, subject of much speculation that its spot has problems. Why wait to see the spots when you can show off your foresight? —Posted by Brian Morrissey

If Sales Genie's ad is even half as horrible as it was last year, it will win the Super Bowl of Sucking.

Sales Genie is like a lamer erectile dysfunction ad. And they don't even have matching bathtubs in a meadow that we can mock.

Thanks for putting Commercials I Hate.com in your links.
You've got a great blog!
I'll be doing my live Superbowl ad review, and I always have harsh words for the suckiest ads. I'm going to say right now, either Bud Light (they have an ad with CAVEMEN for crying out loud) or GoDaddy - the fake hype about censored ads really gets on my nerves. It's such transparent whiny bullshit.
I hope you'll come and check out my reviews during the game.

My money's on Taco Bell running the same 5 year old husband-getting-pregnant-wife-a-cheese-bomb ad they've been running the last few weeks. At least most of the other ads are new.

We don't have anything like Super Bowl ads over here in UK. Why is it so big in the USA? How did it get to be so big?

Definitely the Taco Bell ad - it's hideous!

What happened, the ads were terrible this year? there were only about 2 half way decent. does not bode well for our industry!

why did super bowl ads get so big? because our ads suck the other 364 days of the year. super bowl ads are unique in that they are funny (most of the time... sort of). how many funny ads do you see any other day youre sitting on the couch watchin the tube?

For anybody interested:
I’ve been doing a full review of the Super Bowl ads since 2004, and will have my 2009 posted before midnight on Super Bowl Sunday.
