Hello fellow bloggers and COMM 406 classmates,

This past Sunday many of us tuned into to what is probably consider the most favorite American pass time, the Super Bowl, and with that comes football, wings, and (my reason for watching) the commercials. This is yeas was a good year in my opinion. I liked all of them, even the beer commercials, which I feel at times can be cliche and over done, were hilarious. I did get quite a chuckle when Chevy called out Ford, with this all so subtle line, "Dave drove a Ford", now I have never driven either one of these cars so I can't compare, but the fact Chevy used the Apocalypse angle for the commercial while playing Barry Manilow, pure genius. This, however was not favorite. My favorite and probably the most well done was the CR-V commercial featuring Matthew Broderick reprising his role as Ferris Bueller.

To celebrate the launch of the all-new 2012 CR-V, Honda brought Ferris Bueller's Day Off back in a big game commercial. They cast Matthew Broderick as himself, skipping out on a day of acting work and living it up in his all-new CR-V. Viewers get to relive movie history with Honda's fresh twist and homage to this '80s classic. They hid over two dozen references to the movie throughout the commercial. Some are obvious, some are VERY subtle. See how many you can find.
