What's a good website to view the Superbowl ads? I hate how they get replaced by boring Canadian commercials that are even worse than regular American commercials.

I am looking forward to the new Canadian Tire Motormaster Commercial. From what I have been able to hear through the grapevine the Canadian Tire Guy has a problem that he is able to solve in a time efficient way so he is able to spend time with his fat ass son, all the while his gay neighbor compliments him on his new pressure washer/sump pump combo....

They might be on a few BitTorrent sites after the game if last year is any indictation.

I hate Simulcasting.

Ahhhh, finally got HDTV this year and will have all the commercials... Global not showing the commercials made the game 1/2 the fun of what it should've been plus HDTV is just mind blowing. When you flip between the HDTV game and the non HDTV game it's disgusting how bad regular TV looks.

Ah, it works. I just switched my package from starchoice and got the Rochester Ny Fox channel and I can see the US commercials. Dumb Starchoice guy told me it wouldn't work.

Channel 132 on the Shaw package shows the U.S. commercials, and so far they don't disapoint. Burt Reynolds 10 things for a succesful superbowl commercial was brilliant. But the best ads usually come at the half.

The one with all the pimped out Diet Pepsi trucks was good too!

The MC Hammer one was pretty funny as well

Did I just see the Calgary skyline on the Subway ad that was just on?

They're usually more entertaining than the actual game...

I like the Bud Light one where the pilot follows the bud light out of the plane with no parachute or anything.

I agree. That was my favourite. Not a word from the pilot he just hauled but out of the plan. Hilarious!

The Fedex one was pretty good too.

I thought one of the best commercials was the one where the guy walks into the convenience store while talking on his cell phone headset - and he says something like "thats too much for the deck - you're getting robbed!" and the clerk turns around and sprays pepperspray in the guys face and his wife hauls off and lays the beats down with a baseball bat.

That one was really good too! Forgot about that one.

Thanks for confirming my non-crazyness browna. Also saw a car commercial w/ the Calgary skyline during the Simpsons/American Dad (on the ch 132). Not that it matters
