Superbowl Tech Ads, 1976–Present
Ian Lamont writes "Computerworld has put together a collection of interesting, funny, and just plain weird Superbowl television advertisements from tech companies — excluding Internet retailers. Everyone has seen the Macintosh ad that played during the 1984 Superbowl, but there are a bunch of other gems, starting with a long-winded ad for the Xerox 9200 from 1976. The funniest is probably EDS's 'herding cats' ad from 2000, but there are some oddities, too, including a bizarre ad for Network Associates depicting a Russian nuclear missile launch, and a very dated ad for Sharp from the mid-1980s. Intel has one ad in the collection from 1997, and it turns out that it is returning with two ads this year that it says feature 'geek humor.'"
You could skip the boring part of the show and watch the only the ads later in internet. Internet is just a better media for that for ads and related things (at least you can click over spam links)
O_o Why is this modded flamebait? I remember them saying this morning on Breakfast that they'll be returning to the studio and talking when the commercials are on.

Watching the Super Bowl for the commercials is just about the most womanish thing a person can do that does not involve performing fellatio on a man.
