Google Airs Super Bowl Ad 315
theodp writes "CNET's hunch that Google might run a Super Bowl ad entitled 'Parisian Love' proved to be well-founded. The ad just ran (did you know that you can search the Internet using Google?), and Apple certainly doesn't have to worry about losing its claim to having produced the best Super Bowl ad ever. In fact, you might want to check out the spoof 'Parisian Love' apparently inspired — 'Is Tiger Feeling Lucky?' — if you want to see a better pitch for Google."

The way I figure it, the next logical search after the last one would been:
"ashley madison"

My wife and I thought it was well done as well. We've also recently gone to Paris... and it brought back good memories for us.
I think it did a beautiful job of showing the service off... and reminding people that Google still works and is extremely efficient. It didn't need to be all in your face and loud... unlike other search engine adds. (Yaaaaaaaaaaahooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
I'm sure it will get ripped apart here on Slashdot... but it definitely wasn't aimed at the Geek crowd.

Doesn't everyone already use google search? Wouldn't they have gotten much more bang for the buck with a Chrome ad?

They should have shown the Google home page on a monitor while the backdrop changes after each search, and provide some indicator of how much time has past in between in each search
Good point. For example, they could have had the Google logo change, which it actually does on a regular basis.

I have heard that already. Some people get the impression that anything you reach through Google is on Google. And I've heard people complain when they find Google "hosting" a site with offensive material.
I liked the commercial. It tells people that Google is still doing very cool and useful things with simple text instead of pretty pictures and vast advertising campaigns (Bing). And it reminds people that Google still does search. With all the Google-branded phones and software, I'm worried that Google is going to get a black eye from one of them and spoil the entire brand.
