Watch the Super Bowl commercials
Sex sells. Babies sell even more. And advertisers are hoping animals will make you laugh all the way to their stores.
While the San Francisco 49ers and the Baltimore Ravens battled on the field during Super Bowl XLVII, marketers from Best Buy to M&M to Toyota competed against each other on advertising's biggest stage.
A 30-second spot cost an average of $4 million this year.
Here are some ad highlights from the game:
And here are the movie trailers that aired during the game:

The Lincoln commercial had the gal driving on the white line on a curve.  Hint at women drivers?  What the deuce?!
Best commercial was the Speed Stick Laundry
you guys missed the Star Trek movie ad.
I liked the Budweiser Clydesdale commercial best.
Â
I liked the farmer commercial next, mostly because (if you take the politics out of it) it's right...plus it was narrated by the one and only Paul Harvey.
Â
The Doritos Goat for Sale and the Speed Stick tied for third.
Â
The movie ads were decent. Looking forward to them to come out!
Â
The Jeep commercial came across as pandering.
The E-Trade Baby is old and not even remotely funny any more.
Go Daddy commercials left me feeling like I'd been touched by something diseased and rotting.
Coke really failed - awful commercial.
The rest of the alcohol commercials sucked.
Oh yeah, and I had to run to the bathroom real quick when that Korean guy came on.
The fact that you remembered the brand of the product advertised means it worked.
Â
I agree with the Dodge/Paul Harvey ad, by far the best of all. I really liked the KIA Jamaican ad, thought it was very funny. If you've ever been to Jamaica that is totally their attitude down there.
Â
 @Mikey I agree with you except that I liked the Dodge/Paul Harvey commercial the best. The GoDaddy.com commercial was disgusting.
The stupid god created a farmer commercial was by far the most waste of time. Â Talking about a class of taker who whine constantly and take all the government handouts. Â Tying God to it is just an insult to us hard working Americans.
 @Benjamin Schniffle What? Were you drunk when you watched that commercial? If it weren't for farmers you'd have nothing on the table. You should be ashamed of yourself.
 @scoreboard They are not farmers - these are laborers.  Most farms are run by conglomerates.  And even if they are, why are they harder working than say, me?  I get up, I put in my hours, do my thing, pay my taxes.  I don't get no government subsidy when my work fails, I don't get no hand out money when I can't complete with my coworkers.
Â
Farmers exist because I make money and pay for their produce. Â They in turn hire illegal immigrants to do the job that they don't let Americans do because they are greedy. Â I pay for their goods, and I'm the job creator for farm work, so I don't feel like I owe them one bit.
Â
They don't like it? Â They can quit. Â I'll betcha the farming scene won't miss a beat. Â Oh yeah of course it takes a government money taking Chrysler to pander to government money needing farmers to make a commercial about welfare queens, and have people go crazy because god was mentioned by a dead radio guy,
 @scoreboard You need to get a sense of stop being uppity because I chose to use improper English and bait you dummy self into looking like a moron.  I think I'm the superior educated being here, don'tcha?  Well, that and your dismal farming background - all liberal takers.
 @Benjamin Schniffle You really are clueless aren't you?Â
Â
By the way, you need to work on your grammar as well. "I don't get no government subsidy". Ever heard of a double negative Einstein?
Â
I come from a farming community. I know the farmers personally. I know what they put into and all the crap they get. I know what it takes. I've worked on the farms as well. You must be some city boy liberal that just doesn't get it.
@scoreboard @Benjamin Schniffle Errr, yeah I would. I don't buy any food from farmers, I get it all from the supermarket.
 @Oregon7812  @scoreboard  @Benjamin It's for the best because they are all Mexicans.  Every farm I visit, 90% of them working are not white.  This is fact.
 @scoreboard  @Oregon7812 Food comes from Mexican workers, which farmers choose not to check.  They take my tax money as subsidies and whine about hard work when no one asked them to do it.  Why are farmers such an entitles class of liberal welfare hillbillies?  Why? God why?
 @Oregon7812  @scoreboard  @Benjamin Well of course not Einstein. Do you really think the farmers deliver it direct to Safeway or Alberstons? No, they sell it to the canneries and processors.
Â
Where do you think the food comes from? Do you think it just magically appears on the shelf? I'll give you a clue....it originates from the farm!! Crops in the ground, cattle for beef, hops for your beer, etc.
Â
WOW! Can I have some of those drugs you're on?
@scoreboard @Benjamin Seriously. I have never seen a tractor drop anything off at the supermarket where I shop. I don't know where they get the food from, probably a factory or something but trust me I've never seen a farmer there.
 @Oregon7812  @scoreboard  @Benjamin Excuse me? Do you buy fruits and produce and meat? If you do, then it comes from a farm, run by farmers.Â
Â
It's kind of like the idiot that flashes the sign "Who needs oil? I ride the bus." Hmmm....if not for oil, buses wouldn't run. If not for farmers you wouldn't have the fruits, vegetables and meat that you buy in the store.Â
Â
DUH!!!!
The Dodge commercial by far was the best one.
 @scoreboard Paul Harvey was one in a million.
