Slingshot Babies, Naked Candy and 'Rocky': What Was the Best Super Bowl Commercial?

Did you skip the commercials? Here's an easy way to catch up on those most talked about.

From the Hyundai factory workers singing an a capela version of the Rocky theme song to the sexy-and-they-know-it M&Ms, the Super Bowl commercials offered plenty to talk about.

Like the "Imported from Detroit" Chrysler spot that featured Clint Eastwood.

Or the armagedon scene where only those who drive Chevys appear to have survived.

And the Doritos slingshot baby, which, by the way, we are told Lahser High School graduate Nate Daniels helped produce (he says no babies were harmed in the making of the commercial, by the way).

Advertisers paid an average of $3.5 million for each 30 seconds of Super Bowl air time according to USA Today.

Just so you can be ready for the Monday morning water cooler, here's a look at a few talked-about commercials from the night.

One of my favorites was the yogurt commercial when John Stamos gets head butted. Didn't see that one coming. The Dorittos maffia dog was pretty good too.

I actually liked the Ferris Bueller/CVR one, I just watched the Hyundai one here and that was pretty good.

Loved the overweight dog commercial for Volkswagen. Especially the part where he is under the high chair not eating the scraps!!! Very cute!

I am not a Vampire groupie, but I liked the Audi/Vampire one.

Boycott Skechers for airing a commercial promoting greyhound racing. Thousands of greyhound advocates have worked tirelessly to bring an end to this blood sport and they film, against protests, at one of the worst tracks in the country, Tuscon. Shame on them!

Hugo... the road, bridge, road right of way: The Road Commission for Oakland County (RCOC)... theRead More aesthetic black fence... Rochester Hills... let's assume there waiting for an insurance claim to go through or debating who pays. Thanks for your post. You could call the Mayor, but he is in Istanbul Turkey... looking over some plans for a new shopping mall they want to build in an historic park. Makes perfectly good sense this is the same Mayor who supported tearing down a historic house on Rochester Road to build a new strip mall... and turning Office Research Technology zoning into a Wal-Mart.

Yes I have been wondering too...I am going to use the RCOC website and see if they will respond
