If you mean my attention to find the remote and change the channel, then yes you are right.

I completely agree, the OG Droid commercials rarely gave you a full list of all the features. I personally loved the one bashing the iPwn as a beauty queen and calling the Droid a robot, fast as a racehorse duct taped to a scud missile. Not many details about all the Droid had to offer, but as a commercial, it totally rocked.

Alright! Then his signed pic is probably worth milliions now. Whoever owns that SGNote with the pic can print out as many pics as he can sell and make bank.

I really like the direction Samsung is taking with their ads. The standing in line thing is a brilliant depiction of ifans well worth exploiting and it shows the company has some balls by not catering to the icrowd. I don’t think Samsung is trying to pry away any of Apples base with ads like these, their just going after newbies to the smart phone world while giving their own fan base something to lol about. Atleast Samsung is getting their message across thru ads instead of using bogus patents/lawsuites to grab headlines with.

The waiting in line part is starting to get old, but overall, the commercial was fun and a bit over the top, which is what Superbowl commercials should do.

I’m just saying some phone commercials seem too silly. They need to demonstrate more practical applications and put some intelligence into the ads.

I really enjoyed this commercial. Commercials are about entertainment and just trying to push products at you.

I don’t get this commercial, I really wanted to like an Android commercial but did they not do any market research? Did the respondents react favorably when they featured the stylus? I see way too many commercials on the air that just suck… I mean people are paid to create these ads? Where are the focus groups? It hard to believe that this commercial did well with any focus group. Who are they trying to target? Just Android fans? If they’re trying to get iOS fans to think twice about Android (or Galaxy Note) I definitely don’t think this way is going to be very effective. The Apple fans that I watched this with simply dismissed the ad pointing out the negatives of Samsung and Android (I don’t disagree with them, when you mock someone, someone who I hope you’re trying to covert to your product, that person is probably going to get defensive instead of opening up to a new idea) It definitely wasn’t as bad as Hulu’s huge f up last year …

FAIL 1.4 GHz dual-core. I’ll stick with my Rezound. Love the huge display, though.

Too many things to talk about during the superbowl, it would bankrupt Samsung due to length of video!

Totally understand, but this is a US commercial.

I thought it was hilarious.

People are complaining that it didn’t show off the features and specs of the phone, but there are lots of commercials for Android phones that list features and specs, and nobody remembers them. People remember the Droid commercials and now the Samsung Apple-mocking commercials.

First, you have to get their attention. Then, they can find out about the features and specs on the web. Of course, entertaining + informative is the ideal, but a memorable commercial will sell more phones than a commercial that people forget about five seconds after it airs…
