Super Bowl XLII was undoubtedly a memorable game, with the New York Giants inching out the New England Patriots in the final quarter of the game for a 17-14 victory.
Many viewers admittedly watch the most televised event of the year for its fanfare – musical performances and commercials. This year featured Hip Hop commercials including the music of Salt N’ Peppa (with a dancing “Donkey Lips” of Salute Your Shorts fame), as well as a commercial from Pepsi MAX featuring Missy Elliott, Busta Rhymes and LL Cool J (who was in Arizona at the game).
Other highlights included a T-Mobile effort with Charles Barkley and Dwayne Wade, playing a one-sided relationship with unlimited talk time, a strip-teasing racecar driver Danica Patrick for GoDaddy.com and a compelling rags to riches story, with a punchline from the end by the Houston Texans for the NFL.
For those looking to relive the commercials, good, bad, racy and dull, Spike TV has them available for viewing comment [click here].
