Super Bowl Sunday is one of the best days of the year
to be a football fan. This year the game
was very competitive but the Baltimore
Ravens were able to come out on top.
The game is great but my favorite part of the Super Bowl is the
commercials. This year I felt that the
commercials were a little disappointing.
Even with the disappointment there were some that stuck out and others
that just flopped. I am going to talk
about a couple commercials that I liked and some that I did not like.
My favorite
commercial of the day was the Tide Miracle
Stain. This commercial was very clever
and gave me a nice laugh. It was great
that Tide featured the teams that were in the Super Bowl in the
commercial. I don’t know if I just noticed
it more this year but I feel like more commercials featured the teams in the
Super Bowl this year than any year before.
Regardless this was an awesome commercial and it worked out very well
for them since the Ravens won the game.
Another
commercial that I liked a lot was the Mercedes
Benz Soul commercial. This one had
to be one of the most expensive to film because of all the big name stars in it
including William DaFoe, Usher, and Kate Upton. Mercedes had a
lot of commercials before the Super Bowl to build excited me for this one. In the end it did not disappoint because it
was different. It did not have to be
funny to be a great commercial. Mercedes
put out a very good commercial that was rated by Forbes as the best commercial from
Sunday.
The ones I didn’t like:
One of my
least favorite commercials was the E*Trade
baby. These commercials use to be
funny when they first came out a few Super Bowls ago. I use to look forward to the new one and they
were always pretty funny. Now I feel
like they have run this idea into the ground.
The commercials are no longer funny and they need to come up with a new
ad campaign. Maybe other people still
enjoy the E*Trade baby but I am no longer a fan.
The Go Daddy commercial titled “Perfect
Match” was one of the creepiest commercials of all time. They went with a whole new approach to
combine sexy and smart and it came off really weird. What made it worse was the close up view and
the enhanced sounds of the kiss. Even
though this commercial was so odd it was Go Daddy’s most successful Super Bowl
commercial ever. Over 4 million people
viewed it on YouTube before it even premiered.
I guess this goes to show that the best commercials don’t always yield
the best results.
As I said
before these commercials were some of the most disappointing in recent years. I
hope that next year’s commercials improve and give us some really good ones
that we will look forward to seeing every time they come on. Until then I will just have to deal with
being grossed out by Go Daddy and hating the E*Trade baby.
What did you think of this year's commercial lineup?
