Monkey Bowl

As far as putting monkeys on television for my amusement during the Superbowl, this Super Bowl gets 2 out of 5 monkeys.

Monkey Commercial 1: for some family SUV hybrid car. It had a monkey on the guy's back, so bonus points for using a clever monkey metaphor. It featured a large army of monkeys having fun at the car dealership. But, it portrayed the monkey in a negative light. (a monkey on one's back is not anything to crave) 6/10.

Monkey Commercial 2: Funnier, but the monkey talked, and was therefore creepy instead of endearing. 1/10.

Super Bowl commercials, as a general trend, were very average this year.
