5 Worst Super Bowl Ads

Since the Super Bowl is right around the corner, there is already buzz about the advertisements. The couple days following the big game, people are going to be talking about their most favorite ads, but no one really mentions the ones that aren't so good. So I started searching, and found the 5 worst super bowl ads ever.

1. Doritos. While Doritos had two really awesome ads last year, (dog & birthday party) this one was just bad. And not to mention weird. The man is so obsessed with Doritos that he literally licks the cheese off his co-worker's fingers then proceeds to rip the pants off another.

2. Bud Light. A man in an upside down clown costume walks into a bar and asks for a beer. When he goes to take a sip, it looks like he is shoving the bottle up his butt because of the way the costume fits. If that wasn't enough, he then asks for a hot dog?

3. Holiday Inn. I don't really know what this ad was aiming for. It involves plastic surgery, a high school reunion and a transsexual. Personally, I think it was tacky and distasteful but check it out.

4. HomeAway. HomeAway is a vacation rental company that helps you find the most comfortable and "home"-like vacation place. When I first watched the ad, I really didn't understand what was going on. The visuals were so busy and loud and cluttered that I couldn't focus. And when they showed the simulated hotel rooms, the camera panned so fast that I had to watch it a couple times over to understand that that's what they actually were. Then a screaming baby somehow gets launched into the air only to be caught by the host. I don't get it.

5. Go Daddy. Same old, same old. "Sexy" women (although Jillian Michaels and Danica Patrick are very pretty) dressed in leather jumpsuits teasing viewers to go to the website. But this one had Joan Rivers' head on what looks like a teenagers body. As if Joan Rivers wasn't already creepy enough...
