Superbowl Commercials

I remember a time when the Superbowl ads were full of non-stop laughs. Bug Light would usually win the competition with something outrageously funny. Now it’s full of ‘inspiring’ messages and sadness. It was an odd crop this year, so I thought I would categorize them differently this year.

FUNNIEST COMMERCIALS

Esurance – Walter White

It’s really funny if you’ve seen Breaking Bad

Doritos – Middle Seat

These guys usually have fun stuff each year.

BEST USE OF CELEBRITIES

Clash of Clans – Revenge

Who’d have thought Liam Neeson would do this? Awesome.

Snickers – The Brady Bunch

I love this ad campaign. Fun actor choices this year.

BEST MOVIE TEASER

Minions – Superbowl Teaser

Because they are awesome.

DON’T KNOW WHY THEY’RE ADVERTISING

Avocados From Mexico – First Draft Ever

Don’t know why this needs to be advertised.

INSPIRING COMMERCIALS

Dove Men + Care – Real Strength

Of the multiple ads praising dads, I liked this one best.

Carnival – Return to the Sea

I kind of want to book a cruise right now.

SADDEST COMMERCIAL

Nationwide – The Boy Who Couldn’t Wait to Grow Up

Why do they want football fans to be all sad.

WHAT WAS THAT?

Squarespace – Dreaming with Jeff

Jeff Bridges ‘singing’ me to sleep creeps me out.

I also liked the Mindy Kaling Nationwide ad that was a lot happier than the dead boy one. I liked her in the carwash. Anyway, hoping next year’s ads are a lot funnier and less preachy like the Weight Watchers and Proctor & Gamble. Which were your favourites?
