I thought the last one was witty, I even laughed.
The Superbowl one was just plain stupid. WTF is up with the size of that thing? It's too big for pockets but too small to be a useful tablet IMO. A bunch of caterwauling marching people doesn't sell a phone these days does it?

Samsung Superbowl Ad
I agree, nothing to write home about.

304 views-- viral!!!
That is one really horrible commercial. Both times they showed the fantazmagorical iPod-killing pen in use there seemed to be no purpose to what was being done with it.

The first Samsung commercial in that vein was much funnier. The one they ran during the Super Bowl is the commercial equivalent of "The Mummy Returns," i.e., more, louder, dumber, not fun any more...

Someone I was with asked "what is that pen thing?" which was answered by another... "It's a stylus. They were popular 10 years ago"

Samsung didn't copy the iPad design. Oh wait, their dock connection is 30 pins. Wonder where they got that number? :wink:

I've never lost a pen so keeping track of a stylus should be no problem.

Exactly. Steve's whole deal was not to need a stylus.
