2.5 Million

The reported prices for a 30 second Super Bowl ad, last I heard was $2.5 Million $2.4 Million. That's a lot of green for a short amount of time. Through the years, as every one knows, these were the ads to watch - but in the last few they have gone way downhill.

This year there were some good ones (the guys were rolling during the GoDaddy.com commercial) and some mediocre ones - and a couple that were just the product's regular ads (Quiznos). I can't see paying that kind of money to show something you've been airing for months already, especially if it is weak to start with.

You can see them here, check out the Anheuser Busch "Thank You" ad from Quarter 3.

BTW: On the radio this morning, they mentioned an ad with a cat but I didn't see it and can't find it on this list - can any of you fill me in?

Thanks, Vern. I do remember seeing that one now, but I guess it didn't make much of an impression. Not quite sure how it relates to a mortgage company.....

I saw the Anheuser Busch one on the news this morning - very nice. I also saw on the news tonight that after they aired the godaddy.com one they cancelled the other two they had slated because it was too naughty or something. One of my friends just got a job at godaddy.com too - I'll have to razz her about it.
