After all the creative energy to produce million dollar commercial epics, my favorite Superbowl ad of them all was a one second spot by Miller Highlife. The burly delivery guy Miller spokesman took a break from chastizing bar owners and simply barked: “Highlife!” as the logo flashed for one second.

Brilliant! Since a 30 second spot cost most advertisers a cool three million dollars, Miller saved some dough by going for the short, blasted message. At one second instead of 30, they would have had to pay only… divided by three… carry the two…

I can’t do the math. But I liked it. And now that the Steelers have just barely eked out a win in what was supposed to be a blowout, it’s time for you to sober up and name that movie quote. It’s completely irrelevant to the matter of championship football, but what do you care? You’re drunk.
