Save The Money: Groupon’s Super Bowl Ads May Spark Faux Outrage

When was the last time a web startup bought a super bowl ad slot? It seems to have been right before the bubble. Or maybe the pets.com ad was just so memorable--for the wrong reasons.

Though I've admired the Groupon humor in their emails and PR, these ads just didn't seem funny...not sure what taste it leaves in the mouth...

The best advertisements are ones you don't need sound to understand what's going on.<p>I.E. anyone can understand

Wait, both Groupon AND LivingSocial are running Super Bowl ads? Can we declare this a bubble yet? PLEASE?

Love them. Witty, memorable, and most importantly - they get the point across without being in your face.

love these. anyone know who made them?
