Bud Light: "Here We Go" Rescue Dog (Super Bowl 2012)

VW: The Dog Strikes Back - Super Bowl 2012

Disappointing. The teaser "the bark side" was great. It raised our expectations for the final spot. But the only great thing about the game day commercial is the dog. The Star Wars' ending seems like a desperate attempt to keep up with last year's success. What do you think?

You all remember Harvey Keitel playing Winston Wolf in Pulp Fiction. Well, it seems that Axe, remembers it too and liked it so much that they made their own Cleaner. So, in the next 2 films, you'll see Axe's Cleaner saving the day. Good job. The films are in Spanish but you don't have to speak the language to understand them.
