Maybe
watching Superbowl ads all at once following the big game is not as fun as
watching them during the game. I wasn’t too impressed with the commercials this
year. I hope they improve for next year, when we, in Canada, are finally able
to see the American spots. In any case, here are some of my favourites but aso
the ones that made me go ‘huh?’
FUNNIEST
COMMERCIALS
Avacados from Mexico – Aliens
Strange but
at least mocks Scott Baio.
Doritos – Ultrasound
Need to get
past why these two are married.
FUN USE OF CELEBRITIES
Bud Light – The Bud Light Party
Seth Rogen
& Amy Schumer go over the line, but still fun.
TurboTax – Actoring
Nice to see
Anthony Hopkins getting work
BEST USE OF A SONG
Marmot – Love the Outside
The use of
Flight of the Conchords made this work for me.
INSPIRING COMMERICAL
Pantene – Dad-Do: Strong is Beautiful
Very cute
watching football players try do their daughter’s hair
GREAT PSA COMMERCIALS
Colgate – #EveryDropCounts
A great
reminder.
Budweiser – #GiveADamn
Helen Mirren
is so ‘polite’ calling out the drunk drivers of the world
NOT SURE ABOUT COMMERCIALS
Heinz Ketchup – Weiner Stampede
The dogs are
cute but the family of ketchups kind of deflates it
NFL – Superbowl Babies
Funny but
weird to sing about your parents. It was hard to understand all the lyrics in
the beginning. This ad also went on way too long.
BIZARRE HEALTH COMMERCIALS
OIC is Different – Envy
Have
constipation? Talk to a doctor. What? No pill or remedy being promoted?
Xifixan – IBS
Who came up
with this mascot?
Jublia – Toenail Fungus
It was odd
last year, and now they have NFL celebrities helping out. Huh?
TERRIBLE MESSAGE COMMERCIAL
QuickenLoans – What We Were Thinking
Are they
trying to create another financial crisis?
MISGUIDED USE OF CELEBRITY COMMERCIALS
Skittles – The Portrait
Steven Tyler
is not relevant anymore. Also tired of Dream On.
T-Mobile – Drop the Balls
Very timely
with Steve Harvey but just not funny at all.
Also thought
the Apartments.com ad was pretty cheesy with Weezy.
“WHAT?” COMMERCIALS
PayPal – New Money in Town
Glad they
showed Canadian bills but how new is PayPal?
Mountain Dew – Kickstart
Puppymonkeybaby.
What am I watching?
Anyway, that’s my assessment of the ads this year. Here’s hoping for better next year.
UPCOMING REVIEWS: Deadpool; Zoolander 2
