WATCH: Dodge Ram's Super Bowl 2013 'farmer' commercial

Admit it. You just had to search for the best commercial from last night and drink it in again.

Well, your search is over: Dodge Ram's beautifully-produced commercial featuring radio broadcaster Paul Harvey's 1978 tribute to the farmer. Harvey, who died in 2009, was a native of Tulsa.

"So God Made a Farmer"

"...God said, "I need somebody willing to sit up all night with a newborn colt and watch it die, then dry his eyes and say,'Maybe next year,' I need somebody who can shape an ax handle from a persimmon sprout, shoe a horse with a hunk of car tire, who can make a harness out hay wire, feed sacks and shoe scraps..."

Dr. Strangelove (last week)

Great ad! Probably one of the best of the night. The controversy now is about the fact that the ad was probably lifted the from an old You Tube video. That and the loons on MSNBC complaining that there weren't any black farmers in it.

Elusive (last week)

One of the best even if it was a Dodge.

Scene Writer Bravetta Hassell’s interests run the gamut: words, books, nature, music, art, furniture, writing, food and Snooki … Did she say Snookie?? No, no, not really Snookie, but squeezed in amid the high and medium brow is the real and made up life that entertainment continues to air and create, which makes Bravetta ponder upon, sing with, look incredulously at, laugh out loud about and then return to reality and her other interests. The prospect of dabbling in all of it and exploring what she was hasn’t was enough for the Alexandria, Va., native to pack her bags and go west to Green Country. Bravetta joined the Tulsa World in February 2012 after receiving degrees in journalism from Northwestern and Hampton universities. She’s previously interned at such newspapers as The Washington Post and the Knoxville News Sentinel and has worked in science publishing and education.
