Funniest 2009 Super Bowl XLIII Commercials

By Philip Van der Vossen on February 1st, 2009

Super Bowl Commercials are typically some of the most creative and humorous commercials you will see all year. This year was no exception, as a couple of new gems were dropped on the public at a cost of $100,000 per second. Here are the Top 15 Funniest Commercials, based on my own personal rankings. Did I miss one of your favorites? Do you completely disagree with me? Let me know in the comments section below.

15: Careerbuilder.com : Tips
Too repetitive for my taste, but the Money punchline made it for me.

14: Monster: Need a new job?
Situational Comedy, not bad.

13: Hulu: Alex and Huluwood
Not laugh out loud funny, but pretty clever. End tag-line is pretty good.

12: Bud Light: Meeting
Predictable action but still pretty funny.

11: Teleflora: Talking Flowers
Brutally honest flowers.

10. Coke Zero : Mean Troy
Humorous play on a classic commercial.

9: Pepsi Max: I’m Good
Physical comedy, has its moments

8: Sobe: Lizard Lake 2D
Dancing athletes and Lizzards, mildly amusing

7: Denny’s : Thugs
New version of a recent ad campaign they launched, pretty good.

6: ETrade : Talking Baby – Pair
“Take these broken wings, and learn to fly again”

5. E*TRade : Talking Baby – Golf
“Shankapotomus” = Classic

4: Cash4Gold.com: Heeere’s Money
“I could get cash for this gold medallion of me wearing a gold medallion”

3: Bud Light: Swedish
The best of the night from Anheuser-Busch

2: Firestone: Taters
Brilliant commercial, the first one of this list that actually made me physically laugh.

1: Bridgestone : Hot Item
I was already laughing just from seeing Astronauts dancing to Jump Around, before they even got to the punchline.
