A look at 20 classic Super Bowl Commercials
created January 24, 2008, last edited February 10, 2009
The Giants last made the Super Bowl in 2000. That doesn't seem like long ago, but it's a long time when talking about Super Bowl Commercials.
In that time period, a lot has changed. But amazingly, the companies which advertise haven't. Did they do a better job then, or now? I pulled 20 classic Super Bowl commercials - 10 pre-2000, and 10 post-2000.
So, you be the judge: Are the old school ads better, or are you a fan of the new wave?
