The best and worst of 2010 Super Bowl commercials

by Lynette Alice

Created on: February 08, 2010

The 2010 Super Bowl was no different from any other Super Bowl in the last 35 or so years in that the commercials which were slated to air during the game received almost as much hype as the game itself. Some were right on target and delivered big time while others floundered a bit. A few flat out stunk the joint up, but even those stinkers are going to get exposure just for being bad so to some degree they accomplished something. With that in mind, here are the best - and worst - Super Bowl Commercials from the 2010 New Orleans Saints 31-10 win over the Indianapolis Colts.

Whether it was the best commercial or not is hard to say, but Bud Light delivered again with their "Light House" ad depicting a house made entirely from Bud Light cans - and a couple bottles if you look closely. A couple shows up at a friend's home only to be amazed that he build it out of Bud Light cans. To their shock they find out the cans aren't empty to which one guest exclaims "oh, it's on!" At that point the visitors along with a growing crowd begin drinking their way to total home destruction. They find Bud Light on ice in the refrigerator made of Bud Light, and best of all a woman in the shower while drinking their way through making a window in the wrong location.

Snickers comes through with a hit if for nothing else working the always hilarious Betty White into a football game. It opens up with Betty Getting tackled to the mud. Her teammates - calling her Mike incidentally - begin giving her grief for playing like an old lady. She shoots back at her QB "aww c'mon man you've been riding me all game!" The best zinger is when Betty is called out for playing like - Betty White - to which she says "That's not what your girlfriend said!" She eats a Snickers and Mike is back, but another teammate is suddenly playing like Abe Vigoda.

Hyundai had the world watching and they dropped the ball with their ad for the Sonata. Their commercial wasn't awful if they planned on running it during the View or something else nobody watches, but to run a drab "birth of a Sonata" themed commercial during the Super Bowl guaranteed one thing was going to happen for sure - people got up and went to bathroom, fridge, made a quick phone call, nodded off to the way too mellow classical music, or maybe even whispered "man that sucks" before nodding off into a Hyundai induced coma. This was so bad Hyundai should get a two year suspension from the league for violating some policy or another they should have in
