Bryant Gumbel said Today Com instead of Today DOT Com. Wow. Things really have changed. Dot and com are now words that are permanently connected in everyone's brain.
I hated the McDonald's commercial. Are they really going to do that to people? What if they ask a customer to call their mom and the mom is dead or they're estranged and they walk out of there feeling morose or stressed out. Or what if a customer is simply shy or has social anxiety and just wants to quietly buy their Big Mac without any fanfare? Getting all up in a stranger's personal business is obnoxious, not kind and heartwarming.
So how did the kid in the Nationwide commercial die? Did he drown in a bathtub like the last shot implied? I don't think insurance would cover that anyway. Way to bring up the most depressing and morbid aspects of the industry.

I'd be thinking, "These bitches!" and a bunch of other not-so-nice words. Imagine someone losing out because one's mother is dead. ETA: Witchie - I didn't get Jeff Bridges being in a commercial. I thought maybe he was doing a take on the Big Lebowski character. By the way, I loved the TurboTax Boston Tea Party commercial. However, I don't understand those who are complaining in the comments section.

Jeff Bridges was for a new website creation company. He created his own website with Squarespace.com. Must admit I went to the site to see about getting my own.

I'm dying laughing over the idea of Debbie Downer being the new Nationwide spokesperson.
My son couldn't get a date to the prom this year because he drowned in the bathtub when he was three. WAH-WAAAAAH.
My daughter didn't join the soccer team because she fell out of a window when she was six. WAH-WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.
Good thing I got Nationwide. Have we talked about feline AIDS?
As for esurance, I liked the Walter White one better than the Lindsay Lohan one.

Weird, I didn't even see the Lindsay Lohan one.
I don't even understand the point of that Nationwide commercial. It's not like they sell Child Accident Prevention Spray. It wasn't even for their product. You buy car/home/renters insurance so you can get a new car/house/belongings in case of an accident.... But hey, congrats for tapping into some of my worst fears I guess?

The way Walter White pops up from behind the pharmacy counter when the lady rings the bell, cracks me up. I also loved the whole "Take it", "No" exchange. It' can't be a coincidence that the suspicious customer looked like Anna Gunn.

I think the Lindsay Lohan commercial was before kick-off.

I am pissed at Nationwide! My 18 year old half-sister just passed away from meningitis in October and my dad finally sounded like himself when he called me about the Superbowl. I can imagine him and my step-mom, sitting there watching the game, enjoying the distraction, and being slapped in the face with something like that. Fuck you, Nationwide. There's a time and a place, and that wasn't your fucking place.
