Maybe you didn't watch the game, maybe you're a huge fan of Conan O'Brien, or maybe your friends say you missed the best commercial while you were getting a drink. You can catch them online. Hulu.com seems to have most -- if not all -- of them. Here is a collection of direct links to some highlights:
The movie "Monsters vs. Aliens" and soft drink manufacturer SoBe combined for back-to-back ads demonstrating 3-D technology. Without the glasses, the effect was evident, yet harmed by a fuzzy screen.
Bob Dylan and will.i.am bridge generations on a version of Dylan's "Forever Young" for Pepsi.
Racer Danica Patrick takes her fifth shower of the day for Go Daddy Group Inc.
Conan O'Brien on a cheesy commercial he thought was only for Sweden.
Hyundai wins an award, sending competitors into screaming fits.
Ed McMahon and MC Hammer make a pitch for Cash4Gold.
Some of these commercials showed a hard edge seldom seen in Super Bowl ads, said Tim Calkins, an analyst at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University.
The economy "is forcing advertisers to really think about how they are going to drive sales," Calkins said. "What they're doing is really focusing on differentiation."
