To be fair, a few Super Bowl ads worked. Swedish Conan O'Brien reminded us how happy we are that he's taking over the prime late-night spot, and the CareerBuilder ad with the woman riding the sea lion was sublimely bizarre. However, we tend to agree with our pals at With Leather, who officially declared that most of the Super Bowl ads sucked.Some of the biggest offenders were from usually reliable sources like Anheuser Busch and Frito Lay, who opted for lame horse fables and goofy physical violence respectively in order to sling product. Then there was the Cars.com David Abernathy ad that was a blatant rip-off of the opening of "The Royal Tenenbaums." And our list of lame wouldn't be complete if we didn't call out a trailer: We're sorry, Jack Black and Michael Cera fans (we count ourselves among you), but "Year One" looks about as fun as ABC's defunct "Cavemen."
Vote on which of those ads you thought was the biggest FAIL, and let us know of any we missed in the comments. Below are some other sports-related stories currently on our radar.

The Doritos ads were great. Dresses flying off of hot women and cash flowing out of an ATM machine were hilarious.
But I do agree on the Bud ads. Enough with the freakin horses.

The Doritos ads were absolutely pitiful. What a great idea to have people come up with their own ad for the Super Bowl. The results look like a bunch of amateurs got together to recycle jokes and be extremely cheesy. Massive FAIL.
