If you just couldn't get enough of the Superbowl XLIV Commercials, or want to bookmark a source for every ad aired, I'm happy to point you to the Hulu collection. For post-air commentary, ya'll come back now, ya hear?
Enjoy.
Note: And for those who can't view Hulu, visit Adweek. They've neatly organized them by quarter.

30 Freaky Commercials and some Modernista!
Has anyone else noticed that commercials have gotten
very WEIRD lately? No, I mean even stranger than usual.
The Geico stack-o-cash ads are admittedly odd, but not nearly on par with these included in Adfreak's The 30 Freakiest Commercials of 2009. Quite a few of the ads are international PSA's I've so far been spared, but Tabasco's greasy talking pepperoni faces have regularly infiltrated my living room.

*shudder*
I can only guess that the economy has advertisers reaching far into their back pockets rummaging for a WOW only to come up with a ball of hairy lint.My vote for CreepQueen goes to Palm Pre's Tamara Hope. It's been a while since I've seen the green-faced woman with a strange sense of Zen, but she really makes me nervous. I'm never really certain what she was trying to tell me. Is it that owning a palm pre, a phone she'd like me to purchase for the purpose of keeping in touch with friends and family, watching videos, playing around with silly apps, or connecting to social networks, is a quiet and lonely experience? Seems ad agency Modernista! may have missed the memo on what a smartphone is actually used for. My theory that the ad is communicating a simple wish that their own personal phones would stop the incessant delivery of work-related messages. Of course I could be wrong. The commercial could very well be a philosophical commentary on the zen concept of emptiness, though a very literal interpretation.
Have you visited the Modernista web page? It seems a lot of folks can't make much sense of their message, let alone this client's.
