Super Bowl Commercials: 11 Ads That Never Made It To Air (VIDEOS)

First Posted: 02/ 4/2012 8:43 pm   Updated: 02/ 5/2012 10:22 pm

In the quest to dominate water cooler conversation on Monday (or, better yet, Twitter conversation on Sunday) many advertisers are looking to push the envelope with their Super Bowl commercials. In the past, some have gone too far. And, we're not talking about those ads that merely generate controversy.

There is another group of ads that are conceived, filmed and edited but then banned from even being aired during the game.

From the Go Daddy ads' love of skin to PETA's commercials depicting a serious love of vegetables, scroll down and check out some of the banned Super Bowl commercials over the years.

From this you'd assume that all vegetarians are women?

Most of these? Not so much offensive as dumb.

this country needs to lighten up and have a sense of humor. Only one of these could be construed as offensive to a normal, sane person. Why should what we see be censored by a bunch of old ladies?

I don't get why any of these were "banned" unless they were simply deemed too stupid.

PETA would do something like that. They are all about using girls bodies. I hate PETA.
