Commercial Break
When the day comes that the Jaguars play the Super Bowl, perhaps some many years in the future, that is the day I will pay more attention to the game than the commercials. Or at least equal attention. Sadly, that was not the case last night, so here are your keys to reviewing the best of the best last night:
Slate's ad commentator, Seth Stevenson, reviewing his favorites

My favorites:
* Leonard Nemoy at the Trek convention, though a much nicer convention hall than I ever went to. Wait, who said that?! *looking around shiftily*
* The continuing saga of "I work with monkeys" and props to them for sticking with the theme, like the days of Bud.Weis.Er.
* The baby Clydesdale, though it was awfully sappy for a beer ad.
* Stunt City.
* The best: "Addicted to LOST" Even though it's not listed as an official ad, Locke looking at the film strip and finding Robert Palmer was hilarious. Nice to see them not taking themselves seriously for a change.
Honorable Mention: MacGyver's Visa charges. Great, but I kept wondering why he had makeup on. Yech. I don't recall him looking like that on Stargate for the last 10 years. Wait, who said that?!
