New York Giants win Super Bowl XLII!

After church today, my roommate, Tyler, and I went up to our friend, Heidi's, parent's place to watch the Super Bowl on their 55" HDTV (sweet!). Her mom had tons of awesome food out for us including shrimp salad, wings, 7 layer bean dip, and a veggie platter. Heidi's family is a Patriots family except her youngest brother, who is a Giants fan. Tyler, although not a big Giants fan, wanted the Giants to win and I didn't really care (though after hanging out with Heidi a lot, I've started subconsciously rooting for the Patriots and Red Sox).

Obviously, we were all looking forward to the commercials. We saw some pretty hilarious ones. Tyler and I didn't see some of the ads in the first quarter because we got there towards the end of it. My favorites (in no particular order):

• Diet Pepsi Max - everyone falling asleep and their heads nodding


• Bridgestone - starts with the squirrel screaming followed by many other animals plus a woman


• Tide To Go - the job interview where the interviewee's shirt is stained and interrupting everything he says with nonsense gibbering


• Planter's Nuts - the lady with the massive unibrow rubs Planter's cashew on herself and all the men go crazy for her


• Pepsi - Justin Timberlake flies through the city to a backyard and then gets hit by an HDTV (Hey, you! lol!)


• Doritos - man sets a mousetrap with Doritos, then gets pounded on by a person in a rat suit who jumps through the wall


• Vitamin Water - Shaq wins derby


• E Trade - baby talks about how easy it is to invest in the market then throws up on the keyboard


• Bud Light - man is flying when he is sucked into the turbines of an airliner ("the ability to fly no longer available with Bud Light)


• Coca Cola - Stewie and Underdog balloons fight for Coca Cola balloon but Charlie Brown gets it in the end


• Taco Bell - mariachi guy says "Hola" and winks with a "whutchi!! (whipping sound)"

Good times.
