Brilliant - for all you creative types out there, at least. Below you’ll find all the ads from the 44th NFL Superbowl (thanks to the clever people at Forbes.com), equally renowned  for the competition on-field as it is for the creative warfare on-screen. Last year the NFL final was broadcast to a US audience of close to 100 million.

Superbowl has a long history over the last 30 years of enticing the biggest brands in the world to pour a shed load of money into their TV ad and we get to see some of the most brilliant creative minds outdo themselves for the best commercial.

The eagerly anticipated and insanely-expensive  TV commercials (a 30 sec in the 2008 Superbowl cost US$2.7 million according to Nielsen) also always create a little bit of controversy and this year is no exception.

This year’s clash between the New Orleans Saints and the Indianapolis Colts is currently underway as I’m writing so until it finishes the widget below will play the 2009 ads and then switch to the 2010 ads at the end of the fourth quarter. There’s even a voting app so you can have your say on the best and worst ones.
