The Giants did it! They ruined Tom Brady’s year. (Sorry, Tom. Hopefully Giselle can make it all better.) Did you enjoy the big game? How ‘bout that Madonna, hey? Like how skinny did she look next to Cee Lo? She’s no dummy. Anyway, I’m still drunk, but duty calls: Welcome to the Second Annual TV.com Bowlies, awarded for noteworthy achievement in Super Bowl mega-shilling.
Most Disturbing Incorporation of a Falsetto-Singing Vestigial Twin
Cars.com. Hands down.
Best Reason Never to Eat M&Ms;, Ever
This ad, in which an anthropomorphized chocolate candy complained about her flesh-colored coating. It could be worse, I guess. She could have been a California Raisin.
Best Answer to the Question, “Whatever Happened to That Band ‘The Darkness’?”
Which, I kid you not, I asked a friend only last week. (To answer it, they’re shilling for Samsung. Hey—you try making a living as a glam rock band in the current economic climate.)
Best Answer to the Question, “Whatever Happened to That Band ‘The Cult’?”
They guided us through a visual history of the last 80 years of watery-beer-guzzling. Sadly, some rapper came along to ruin the ride. Enjoy the residuals, guys! We missed you.

This Acura ad. Honestly, Jerry. You should be ashamed of yourself.
Come to think of it, could you move aside? Thanks.

Howard Stern with a hose, teasing his upcoming turn on America’s Got Talent.
Best Commercial Featuring John Stamos, Yogurt Seduction and a Concussion
Oikos Yogurt from Dannon. Rejoice, Greece! You have reasons to be proud again.

Clint Eastwood for Chrysler.
Creepiest Night-Stalking Dwarf Pedophile

Worst Use of Huskies
Suzuki’s Eskimo-themed Kizashi spot, which featured sled dogs bopping their heads to 50 Cent.
