Yesterday I tweeted “Too much game between the commercials.”  I only watch the Super Bowl when my team (the Patriots) are playing.  Since they weren’t I had no intention of even watching the game.  I did cave and turned it on to watch the commercials.  I missed a lot of them because I was too busy doing…well, I wasn’t really doing anything, I just wasn’t paying attention.  Two commercials were my favorites.

I am a woman, and most of us are saps by nature, so Google sure knew what they were doing when they decided to air Parisian Love for their Super Bowl ad.  I was on Twitter while watching the game, and there was an instant overwhelmingly positive response, especially from women.  If you missed it, here it is.

Google actually has been very opposed to TV advertising, so a lot of people were surprised to hear that they were running an ad.  The commercial has actually been on YouTube since November.  Google CEO Eric Schmidt released this statement:

If you watched the Super Bowl this evening you’ll have seen a video from Google called “Parisian Love”. In fact you might have watched it before, because it’s been on YouTube for over three months. We didn’t set out to do a Super Bowl ad, or even a TV ad for search. Our goal was simply to create a series of short online videos about our products and our users, and how they interact. But we liked this video so much, and it’s had such a positive reaction on YouTube, that we decided to share it with a wider audience.

If you like it too, we hope you’ll watch the others. Enjoy.

The other ad that I didn’t see live, but heard a lot about and looked up online was a Doritos ad.  I won’t tell you what happens in case you haven’t seen it, but here’s the commercial called House Rules.

Hilarious!!!

So which ads were YOUR favorite?  I would love to hear from you.  Leave a comment, and thanks so much for reading!

I’m sure I’m in the minority, but I will not be watching the Super Bowl tomorrow.  My beloved Patriots aren’t in it so I don’t care who wins, and the thought of seeing the cameras go back and forth between Kendra Wilkinson and Kim Kardashian so we can all decide if Reggie Bush or Hank Baskett has the hottest woman is enough to make me seek alternative TV for the night.

For those of you who will be looking for something else to watch at 6pm,  I already checked out what’s on, and there’s a little something for everyone.  Here are some of your options.

Law and Order: SVU marathon on USA.  My favorite in the L & O franchise.  Better get your fill of Stabler now.  I hear Chris Meloni is calling it quits after he films one more season.  Can’t imagine the show without him!

Law and Order marathon on TNT

Teen Mom marathon on MTV.  The stars of 16 and Pregnant are back after giving birth.  Find out what happened to them during the first year after giving birth.

Run’s House marathon on MTV 2.

Puppy Bowl VI on Animal Planet.  I’m not a dog person, but I know plenty of people who are.  If you prefer a night with the dogs over people, this is the show for you!

I Love Lucy marathon on the Hallmark Channel.  If you feel like going old school, and need some laughs, check out everyone’s favorite redhead.

Supernanny marathon on the Style network.

Anything of Lifetime Television for Women or Lifetime Movie Network.  Come on, you know you’ve been sucked in by some of their awfully delicious or deliciously awful movies.  There are plenty to choose from tomorrow night!

Well, those are my picks!  If you have any suggestions or want to talk me into watching the Super Bowl, be sure to leave me a comment!
