Report: Man Watches Super Bowl Just for the Commercials

Quite some Super Bowl last night, wasn't it? Kurt Warner's loss proved one of two things:

1. God does not exist
2. God does exist, but he really hates Kurt Warner

And Ben Roethlisberger turned in the best performance by a half-human, half-hippopotamus hybrid since Jerome Bettis in 2005. Not to mention Santonio Holmes's last second touchdown catch, in which he miraculously landed with not one...not two...but all three feet inbounds.

But that's not what you were there for, unless you live in Pittsburgh. Really, all you wanted to see was talking animals and people getting hit in the crotch. In that regard, the Super Bowl commercials didn't disappoint.

Time's James Poniewozik reviews the best and worst of last night's commercials. Take a look and see how your opinions compare with that of a man who gets paid to watch television.

My biggest beef? He says the Hulu commercial, featuring a tentacled Alec Baldwin, was the night's best. I disagree. As my mother always told me, "Will, just because you CAN make a surrealist commercial featuring Alec Baldwin doesn't mean you SHOULD." Wise woman, my mother.
