Super Bowl Adverts

Rejoice, for this years Super Bowl adverts are online already…

It was kinda a mixed bag this year, but I’ll name my top 5.

1. Michelob Ultra: Touch Football
   Does it get any better than extreme violence on women in beer adverts? Nope, didn’t think so… “You were open but now you are closed!” was probably the best line all night.
2. Mastercard: MacGyver
   Oh, who didn’t like this? It was MacGyver for crying out loud…
3. Sprint: A Song for Every Occasion
   Silly, yes, but the Benny Hill moment at the end was just a bit surreal for prime time Super Bowl viewing, which raised it up ever so slightly…
4. ESPN Mobile: Sports Heaven
   A pretty smart advert for this new phone
5. Ameriquest Mortgage Co: That Killed Him
   Kind of like the Ameriquest adverts from last year, but the look on the family face when they walk in was priceless.

There was a few bubbling under, like the “I’m going to DisneyWorld” and Bud Light Roof and Secret Fridge ones. Some were bizarre, like the Burger King “Whopperettes” one. Some started off good and got extremely boring afterwards, like Pizza Hut’s Jessica Simpson one, it’s only saving grace was the Miss Piggy version later on. Some flat out sucked, like the GoDaddy and Diet Pepsi ones…

A mixed bag all round
