Last night, companies across America dumped millions of dollars into crafting the world’s most perfect commercial. What did their millions dream up? Star Wars gags, Seinfeld, and the apocalypse. Here are the best (and the worst) scifi commercials from the Super Bowl.

Hulu Plus – Aliens
Will Arnett swaps in for Alec Baldwin in the new Hulu Plus. It’s the same alien “we eat your brains” gags, but did Arnett pull it off?

The Chevy Apocalypse
This automotive apocalypse pissed off Ford so bad, they issued a statement.
VW Dog/Star Wars Cantina
The eternal battle of “commercials with puppies” vs. “commercials with Star Wars” jokes plays out in front of all of America. So, which one is it? The puppy or Little Vader? One thing is for certain, VW is quite good at selling Star Wars. Perhaps Lucas should of hired them to salvage the Phantom marketing disaster.

Acura – First
Sorry buddy, but I would have taken Jerry and the alien over Jay Leno in his flying squirrel suit any day.

Metlife – Cartoon Party
Super cute commercials with lots of cartoons intermingling. Pepé Le Pew’s lover is riding Battle Cat! But the best part isn’t this commercial, it’s all the behind-the-scenes videos of Snagglepuss being dramatic, Waldo messing with the director, Yosemite Sam freaking out, and Voltron doing the robot.

So long vampires, indeed.
