Ahh, Super Bowl XLII. I remember it well. (So I don't remember the teams, or the score, or any plays.)
The commercials are another story. Every year for at least a decade now, I have spent Super Bowl Sunday writing about the best and worst commercials. I'll be doing it again this Sunday. All the top commercials from the last bowl are online somewhere. Most are on YouTube. But the Nielsen Company has a complete breakdown of every ad that aired with a link to a video of the spot.
Here's a look at a popular commercial from each of the past 10 Super Bowls. You can find more commercials from the past 10 years at the link above. All of the clips below are from Nielsen Media.
