I’m going to make a running list of every SuperBowl Commercial 2011 here. Please post ones you find in the comments.

2011 Cars.com Super Bowl Ad: Go First

2011 Cars.com Super Bowl Ad: Go First
This humorous Super Bowl commercial comes from Cars.com, one of the biggest retailers of new and used cars online. The ad opens with a King in his royal palace calling out for his “poison checker” before placing a spoon of soup into his mouth. The poison checker intercepts the spoon and tastes the soup … only to quickly die. The meaning of the ads is further clarified when we hear a voiceover proclaim: “Sometimes it’s better to let others go first, so that we can learn from their experiences”

2011 Elantra: Car Wash

2011 Elantra: Car Wash
Hyndaui uses their Super Bowl slot to poke fun at the traditional, and arguably lame, styling of most automobiles.

The words, “obey”, “comply”, and “boring” appear throughout the scenes, followed by the phrase and question, “Have our brains been carwashed?”

2011 GM Chevy Super Bowl Commercial “Bumblebee”

Welcome back, G.

Go Daddy’s 2011 Super Bowl Commercial “The Contract”


GoDaddy has mastered the art of the tease, and this commercial is no exception. The scene opens with Danica Patrick and Jillian Michaels on set refusing to do a GoDaddy commercial shoot because it’s “too racy”. Being told they were under contract to do so, the commercial ends with Patrick and Michaels walking nude through the GoDaddy set. You don’t see much, but enough to make people want to tune in.

“Compact cars don’t have to be boring … or feel compact”. Another commercial in the Hyundai Elantra lineup begging us to “snap out of it” and buy cooler cars, because nothing says cool like a Hyundai.

Hyundai SB Q4 - Anachronistic City
Tech geeks will love some of the nods this commercial gets. Showing a modern with with anachronistic objects, Hyundai poses the question, “What if we always settled for the first thing that came along?”.
