I must say, this year I am slightly disappointed. Superbowls commercials are suppose to make you laugh, make you want to buy something shiny, inspire dirty thoughts (!). However, I feel as though marketing executives and public relation coordinators are severely lacking. Perhaps the slump in interesting commercials has something to do with the failing economy (I wouldn't be surprised), but still, people come on! Give me something good!!
I will say my two favorites were the talking babies and the High Life commercial. For those of you who were unavailable (or hiding under a rock) the babies commercial is a newer take on the baby ordering items offline. This time he was accompanied by another baby who could care less about the internet and just started singing a song (I don't know the name, comment if you do please). Wasn't the funniest commerical I have ever seen, but I laughed. I was amused. Second favorite commercial of the night was the two seconds of a man in a warehouse who screamed "High Life" and then it was over. Clever, witty. I mean, I still don't know what high life is (??) but it might inspire me to google it.
So, that is my sort but sweet take on our Superbowl 43 commercials. I'll give it a C+.
I wrote this to someone else too today, but I am gunning for the one-second graduation commencement speech.... what do you think?!

ReplyDeleteI thought the commercials definitely were lacking this year, there were a few scattered here and there. The two that stand out in my mind were the Crystal ball through the vending machine for Doritos, I believe? And also the small kuala bear being punched in the face over and over. I was disappointed in Budwieser, they are usually known for their superbowl commercials being clever and witty, but there was nothing special from them this year. I see a lot of people watching the superbowl strictly for the commercials and this year, I wasn't impressed.
