This was hardly the Super Bowl of A-list celebrities in ads. The only other celeb close to A-list other than 'N Sync was Ali Landry, who returned for the third time in a Doritos spot. It's all B-list from there. Bob Dole was in a Viagra parody for Pepsi. NFL coaching legend Bill Walsh talked game talk in an Invesco spot.
People prefer everyday people.
Volkswagen, with three ads, was a bust. This year was no exception. Even the ad for MGM's upcoming Hannibal didn't cause a blip.
