The ads for the Super Bowl were pretty lousy. They weren't very interesting. Maybe I'm becoming more resistant to State propaganda. Advertising campaigns usually target stupid people, rather than intelligent people.
This ad was simultaneously amusing and offensive. A man was arrested for throwing out a battery. A man was arrested for using incandescent light bulbs. The ad was intended as a pro-State advertisement. I thought it was an example of an out-of-control State. It really was a car commercial. I couldn't tell if they were serious "People who use incandescent light bulbs *SHOULD* be arrested!" or sarcastic.
The "environmental movement" is really a bunch of pro-State trolling. Most "save the environment" laws really are just restricting freedom. For example, incandescent light bulbs are not patented. By banning incandescent light bulbs, that is huge corporate welfare for the insiders who own the compact fluorescent patents. "Agorist incandescent light bulb manufacturer" is a business I'd support. That commercial says that someone who starts such a business should be violently raided.
Ironically, compact fluorescent light bulbs are an environmental hazard. They contain mercury, and must be properly discarded. That point was not emphasized in the commercial.
It was also offensive to see the US census advertising. Should State parasites be allowed to directly advertise?
The E*Trade ads had a hidden pro-State message. The ad says "The stock market is a good investment!" in addition to advising you to use E*Trade.
I didn't notice any ads saying "Support our troops!" That was interesting. Now that Obama is President, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are over! By no longer covering war, that means it's over!
My mother has an interesting conspiracy theory. She says "The Super Bowl was fixed so that New Orleans won! Now, they can say 'Look at how well New Orleans recovered after Katrina!'" I'm not sure about that one, but who knows?

I was hoping you'd go into more details about all the Fnords in all of the commercials.
I will have to start paying attention again it's been awhile since I've been to your site.
By memory there was certainly a fnord in the Brett Favre Hyundai ad. You're never too old to work, regardless of what kind of beating you take. if he can do it so can you!
It's normal to do manual labor when you continually take a beating. "winners don't quit"
lol, it's like they're cheerleading saying "Rah rah siskoomba.... gooopppp be a slave!!!"
That was somewhat repeated in the "super bowl shuffle remake" ad as they made everyone look old, yet they're still doing commercials.
