Syracuse (WSYR-TV) -- The Super Bowl is over, but a lot of you are still talking about all of the commercials.

Advertisers spent $3.8 million for a 30 second spot during the big game. From Tide’s Miracle Stain, to the seniors late night out at Taco Bell, everyone has their favorites.

A Syracuse advertising agency thinks the Dodge commercial featuring farmers was one of the big winners of the night. The commercial features the voice of radio commentator Paul Harvey, in an emotional tribute to America’s farmers.

“The copy was great; the imagery was awesome and they resonated with people,” explained Kevin Tripodi, with Eric Mower & Associates.

It comes out near the top of USA Today’s poll as well. The top spot though went to the Budweiser’s Baby Clydesdale.

One of the lowest rated was that long kiss from GoDaddy.com, which has generated a lot of opinions – some, not so great.

"That's like shock value I guess...but it doesn't want to make me go to GoDaddy.com, it makes me just want to change the commercial when their ads are on,” said Matt Cowen.

Overall, the night left a lot more to be desired for some advertising experts who say they expected more of the “wow” factor on what’s supposed to be advertising’s biggest night.

“Overall, we were disappointed, just a little safe, maybe with the economy coming back this was the year to take more chances,” Tripodi said.
