I think it might be because so many people lack a sense of humor - or a
brain. Of course the latter is a requirement for the former so I might be
redundant in mentioning a brain.

Like nearly every commercial during the game, I really can't say I know what
was being sold. What does a talking monkey who hits on women have to do with
beer? What do bears who abuse hunters and wear their clothing have to do
with buying sugar water? Sure, many of the commercials were cute and overall
I thought the iTunes commercial was a hoot, but in the end I'll remember the
song and the jab at the RIAA and forget it was advertising Pepsi. To my
mind, when I remember the commercial and forget who sponsored it the
commercial failed. In that respect only two commercials I saw that night
were successful - one for Chevy (holy sh...) and one for Chrysler (who knew
a station wagon could look cool!)
