Everyone knows you’re supposed to go to the bathroom during the game itself, not during the Super Bowl commercials! But just in case you missed them, the national ads that ran during Super Bowl 43 are now available online—including this clever Hulu ad with Alec Baldwin.

Other fun spots included:

CareerBuilder.com (much better than the competing entry from Monster.com);
Bud Light featuring Conan O’Brien;
Hyundai’s Angry Bosses;
and the new Star Trek movie teaser (because I’m a nerd).

(Incidentally, how great/terrible/crazy is it that the ads themselves are preceded by short ads?)

If you were watching the Super Bowl on KING-5, the local NBC affiliate in Seattle, you also may have seen the shortest-ever Super Bowl commercial:

Ivar’s half-second spot (don’t blink, you’ll miss it!)

And finally, for posterity’s sake:

Apple’s 1984 Macintosh commercial

Football season is now officially over. Only two weeks until pitchers and catchers report for Spring Training!
