Around this time of year, practically everyone puts out a list of the "best" superbowl commercials. Or the worst. Two things these lists have in common include getting the year the ad aired wrong (no, really it happens a lot) and then 85% of the ads on their carefully chosen lists are identical to the ads on everyone elses list. 😉
So here’s our twist on the lists, possibly most forgotten superbowl ads. It doesn’t mean that they’re bad, in fact some show up on other fun lists of good ads – people just don’t seem to recall that they too were once superbowl ads.
Lets start at the beginning shall we? Way back in 1969 super bowl III commercials this Gillette – Techmatic adjustable ad could make me forgive all the other terrible Gillette ads if they just put this one back on the air. Please, pretty please Gillette, do it just once!

In the 1973 super bowl VII commercials, Joe Namath is so exited becaause "he’s gonna get creamed" by none other than Farah Fawcett. I don’t know what Joe thinks "creamed" means, but I’m sure it’s naughty. This is hilariously cheesy.

In the 1975 super bowl IX commercials McDonald’s test people on their jingle for the Big Mac, and they all fail. Sing it with me! Two all beef patties special sauce lettuce cheese pickles onions on a sesame seed bun. Now down a vodka and do it again faster! This should be a drinking game.
