There were plenty of stars in Indianapolis at Super Bowl XLVI (Gisele Bundchen, Steven Tyler and halftime performer Madonna, just to name a few). But some of the biggest star power was in the commercials. Howard Stern hosed down hopefuls in anticipation of his America's Got Talent gig. Elton John held court with The X Factor winner Melanie Amaro for her long-hyped Pepsi ad. Clint Eastwood inspired the country to get ready for their second half on behalf of Chrysler.

He did get in a few zingers. His five best jabs were aimed at:
His own manhood -- "No profanity: That's fine, I've got a huge vocabulary. No nudity: See that's a shame because I've got a huge [pause] vocabulary. But a...
