The VW "The Force" commercial is wonderful. On the other hand, I'm afraid VW is jumping the shark with the new Beetle. I liked the Chrysler commmercial too, until it got to the modern day cars.

I had to watch the Super Bowl once. It was at the worst birthday party in the world.
Everyone else but me was fixated at the TV, cheering for the team that was vaguely geographically closer to us. They were getting excited about the ads and laughing at the crass, crass jokes.

I liked the Volkswagen "The Force" ad a lot.
The Kenny G ad for somebody (Audi?) seemed in really inappropriate taste given current events. I'd pull that one if that was my company. Sure it sucks to be out all that money, but it would suck even worse to be seen making light of torture and prison conditions with everything going on overseas right now. Actually, it's pretty distasteful at any time.

The Chrysler commercial seems to borrow music from this memorable VW ad from a few years ago. Seems kind of dicey to run an ad that might subtly remind people of your competitors - and spend so much on it, too.

Many of those posted are "teasers" for the actual ads. The big hint is the running time. a :30 is rumored to cost $3M so I would suspect the advertisers aren't going run anything >1 minute. The Audi ad doesn't even mention a car.

I'm actually a football convert. I never thought much of the sport until recently. I've grown to admire the strategy and the sheer talent of a QB predicting the position of where the receiver is going to be, and the receiver predicting the position of where the QB is going to throw did I get the positions right? I also love the way the ball spins when they throw it.
Anyways, I have to say I am a bit disappointed in these commercials (except for the Darth Vader one), and I really hope that there are better ones out there.
The Kenny G one was way too long and pointless, and the Chrysler one was kinda jerkish. I don't know why. I mean, I see the message that they want to convey, but the grumpy old man in me is saying "Life was never like that! The glamorous, beautiful people that you refer to were probably rich and spoiled, just like they are now!"
And then that scene with the guy stealing the umbrella from the valet? What an asshole! Do I really want to drive a car that umbrella-stealing assholes drive?
And what was the point of the guys in one car and the girls in the other and they all switch cars and couple up? Then the old man looking at the girls? This is supposed to be classy?
Meh, I'll stick with my 2000 Hyundai Accent. No girls will want to make out in that piece of junk, but at least it's paid for.

I really liked the Kenny G one as a short comedy feature, but it was a terrible ad. It's unclear who the audience is supposed to be, it doesn't mention the product, and the association it creates - Audis are for unethical rich people with bad taste - makes me less likely to buy one than I was before watching it.

Automatic Dependent Surveillance. A data link method of automatically transmitting an aircraft’s position, altitude, air speed, and other data. The aircraft acquires position information through a navigation receiver from a global navigation satellite system such as GPS and then uses a transponder to transmit that information along with other data from the flight monitoring system to air traffic control and other aircraft.
FOR WHEN THE SUPERB OWL IS FLYING.
MARKET DATA SHOWS THAT THE ADS RUN DURING THE SUPERB OWL'S FLIGHT CLOCK MILLIONS OF DOLLARS A SECOND.

There are always some sort of also-ran ads for later in the game, where the company buys the ad space but already shot its wad on an earlier ad, so they run some other ad they already had lying around.
