For the first time, I got to Tivo the Superbowl, thus avoiding all that pesky football, and going straight to the ads. As almost everyone else is saying, the ads were kind of lackluster this year, but there were a few clever moments. If there was an underlying theme to the ads this year, it seemed to be "random violence".

Google has most of the ads in a nice clean format here, but it seems to be missing a few, including the Sprint "Locker Room" ad - the funniest example of the "random violence" trend.

I think the user-hostile iFilm has the entire bunch. I highly recommend viewing:

(on Google)

Bud Light: Secret Fridge
Emerald Nuts: Machetes and Druids (I just love their surreal ads)

(on iFilm - no linkies, stupid JavaScript popup silliness)

Sprint: Locker Room
Michelob Ultra: Touch Football (more random violence)
CareerBuilder: Practical Jokers (a twist on their getting-old "I work with Monkeys" campaign)
Ameriquest Mortgage Co: That Killed Him (Continuing their hilarious "Don't Judge Too Quickly" campaign)
Mastercard: MacGyver (Clever, but without the mullet, I didn't quite catch on fast enough)
