Wengler -
Irony dude. Irony.
There's at least 3-4 holidays more generally important than this. At least.

Making Rice Cooker Bread (i.e. Ja-pan #2), just finished a loaf of blueberry and presently making a beer version w/ Guinness stout. The recipe is from Yakitate Ja-pan (a 69 Episode anime series about bread baking and the creation of a Japanese national bread "Ja-Pan" makes one proud to be an otaku):

The third segment is where they get into the rice cooker bread.
And transcoding anime for my new commute (1 hr bus ride each way)

Seeing Brady get hit this often makes my day. Even if it looks like Eli has reverted to Eli and so can't score.
The run on the field without his helmet was just too precious.
Go Giants

I want the Giants D to keep hitting Brady; makes me happy. I want his bell rung so many damned times he hears "The Bells of St. Mary's" the rest of his benighted life.
And Moss? I don't care if the ball thrown to him is catchable or not; I want the safeties to hit him so hard his grandkids will grow up dizzy. Hit Moss often enough and his arms shrink (saw it often enough in Oakland).
Eff the Effin' Patriots.

Nothing against Tom Petty, but wasn’t that your grandfather’s half-time show?
(Sorry, I initially posted this complaint on the wrong thread.)

All I have to say is HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Cheating bastards never win. Ok, well they can win 18 times but they lose eventually.
Congratulations Giants!

Schadenfreude-driven fans like me can always find plenty of silver linings, and in the end I found myself rooting against the king of the wound-too-tight macho nerds, Tom Coughlin.
But it’s not about me. Congratulations, Giants!

Well, I was going to watch Newcastle v. Middlesbrough, but the feed cut out, so I went out with the rest of the fam to pick up 60 pounds of lamb. Yum!

Unefffing believable. Not only did the Giants win, they demolished the Patriots' mystique.
The only downside was not awarding the MVP to the front 7. Without them the Giants don't win.
But then again that one play. That's when Eli ducked out of the defensive line's hold and threw that pass. The one where the guy caught it in his helmet. Enough for an MVP in anyone's book.
All in all, one of the best Superbowls and I'm old enough to remember most of them.

Bread and circuses. Meanwhile NYC's post 9-11 projects are getting scaled back.
The NFL's has wrapped itself so tight in the flag I'm not surprised Goodell shows signs of asphyxiation.
Yeah, rolling out another "classic rock" act is now akin to Anita Bryant back in the day. Have they even had any female acts since the nipple slip?

Yup, that was an amazing play! Gotta be one of the biggest upsets since some other New Yawkas beat my beloved Johnny U in Super Bowl III (the first one I watched--bawled my eyes out afterward (hey, back off, I was in second grade!).

So, to return to the original question, what about the ads? I was more than a little disappointed. Are folks not going for it like they did a few years ago?
What I remember afterward: Godaddy.com continues w/ softcore porn approach, which I dislike, but must admit is memorable; the Bud Lights were cute, but I had higher expectations (though they at least didn't have any more horse farting-girlfriend ignition); lizards (and the hawt gal) dancing to "Thriller" made my high-school daughter laugh out loud and were in my top five (except for this failure: I don't remember what they were advertising for!); the badgers in the quiet Toyota were pretty good (the dude in the car played it perfectly--I imagined him as Beaker at Muppet Labs).
I guess my fave was the Bud Light w/ cans smuggled in the mega-cheese, bottles in the hollowed out French/Italian bread, and TV in the "wine box". But it was no "magic fridge".
FedEx w/ the giant carrier pigeons was kinda so-so. Again, they'd raised my expectations pretty high, what with their "Castaway" classic or even last year's pterydactls (w/ the crack-me-up punting of the small dinosaur)--even w/ its Creationist Flinstones man-living-alongside-dinosuars meme.
Anything else stand out to anyone else?

When the Flatulent Horse Ad first aired I collapsed to the floor, howling with laughter. After that high point, the ads have been pretty blah.
