So it’s Super Bowl Sunday and I don’t really feel like writing a post about personal finance, so here are my favorite commercials from last night’s game. Enjoy.
3. Give Me My Freaking Yogurt!
I grew up watching Full House, so I love when I see the TV stars from my childhood make a comeback. John Stamos made a guest appearance on Glee and was pretty good there, but it wasn’t nearly as good as his Super Bowl commercial tonight.
He thought he was being playful with his girl by not sharing his yogurt with her. I don’t want to ruin the surprise for those who haven’t seen it, but let’s just say that she wasn’t playing.
2. Naked Candy Party
I probably shouldn’t like “I’m Sexy and I Know It” as much as I do, but it makes me smile every time I hear it. So whenever I get a commercial with a naked M&M dancing to that song, I’m gonna enjoy it.
I do have a problem though. Why would the red M&M think it was a naked party when all the people were fully clothed? The fact that it doesn’t make any sense keeps it from making it to the number one spot.
1. Sexy Chick in a Towel
The best of the night was surprisingly an NBC commercial for their show The Voice. There is only one way to absolutely guarantee a great Super Bowl commercial, and her name is Betty White.
The beginning of the commercial is kinda slow, but the last 15 seconds are pure comedy gold.

M&M commercial was awesome!
Bueller, Bueller? Took me back to the 80’s.
Betty White was awesome, but my favorite two are missing! I’m partial to the Chrysler “Halftime” ad and the Doritos “Didn’t See Nuthin'” one.
