Chicago's Second City takes on the Clint Eastwood Super Bowl ad and ponders a world where we'd given up on Chrysler. "It's halftime in America, and playing two halves is asking a lot. So, good game." More »

This is very neat: someone took the 1986 movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off and ran all the parallelisms with Matthew Broderick's reprise for the 2012 Super Bowl. It was a great job, although Ferris is not Ferris anymore. [Thanks Brent!] More »

Chrysler's Clint Eastwood ad was the most controversial commercial (for various reasons) of this year's Super Bowl. But it wasn't controversial enough that someone acting on behalf of the NFL should have had it pulled off YouTube. How and why they did it demonstrates just how easy it is for someone to falsely claim copyright protections. More »

The Clint Eastwood Super Bowl Ad was a pep talk for Detroit and a threat to those people who don't think automakers like Chrysler are capable of making a comeback. People like Clint Eastwood, who voiced his opposition to the auto bailout in very clear terms just a few months ago. More »

Of last night's commercials, Chrysler's Clint Eastwood ad was undoubtably one of the best. So why did the NFL claim copyright on the video and force YouTube to pull it down this morning? UPDATE! More »

As we told you a few months back, Sports Ilustrated swimsuit model Catrinel Menghia is the hot, anthropomorphic incarnation of the Fiat 500 Abarth in the now-famous ad every auto enthusiast in the United States has fallen in love with. Although she's actually Romanian instead of Italian, she certainly does a pretty spectacular job playing one on TV. More »

Dropping any artifice of civility in the back-and-forth sniping between Chevy and Ford, this year's Silverado ad comes out and says what they've only been wiling to say behind closed doors: buy our competitors vehicle and you will die. You will be dead. Six-feet under. And your family. You will all die a horrible terrible death. More »

Appearance-wise, the 2013 Lexus GS has actually grown on me. I can't constantly ding Toyota/Lexus for being beige without acknowledging their new luxo-cruiser gives me a slight tingle in my trouser area. The same can't be said for their first-ever Super Bowl ad. More »

Equipped with AWD and a gasoline/electric hybrid powertrain, Acura's hoping its new NSX supercar will herald a new age of responsible supercar when it hits showrooms sometime in the next 24 months.

A pair of animators in Portland made their Italian Greyhound "Bones Mello" famous when they dressed him up as an AT-AT last October. So when we saw the Volkswagen Star Wars barking dog Super Bowl commercial preview last night we assumed the pup dressed up as an AT-AT was him. The animators, however, say it's not. Now we're left to wonder if VW ripped off their idea. More »

Hyundai's fourth quarter Super Bowl ad is set in a make-believe city filled with competitive cyclists on bicycles from the late 1800s, small black-and-white TV sets, Zack Morris cell phones and Pong. We're then asked the question of "What if we just settled for the first thing that came along?" Then, apparently we'd never get the Hyundai Sonata hybrid. More »

As part of GM marketing chief Joel Ewanick's Super Bowl ad onslaught, Chevy will get five different commercials (the Bumblebee commercial from two days ago is one of them), including a 30-second version of this spot found by the crew at Camaro5.com.
