The Google commercial was a major turnoff...somebody driving down a country lane JUST HAPPENS to pass a house with a rainbow flag hanging on the porch. What in the world was the point of that, other than to rub our noses in it?
I agree with the KIA ad being the best. Laughed out loud and it wasn’t preachy, mean-spirited or heavy-handed like so many others.
The first thing I thought when I saw that ad was that it was most likely written back last year when everybody assumed Hillary would win and would be shoving her far-left feminist agenda down our throats right about now. Audi wrote the ad to cozy up to the Hillary administration and help advance her agenda. Once Trump won, they ad was already in the can and they'd bought the air time, so they just shrugged and ran it anyway.
At our SB party we laughed that he must have lost the good German beer recipe jumping from the riverboat fire so came up with American Budweiser.
I always like reading the “report card” for the commercials the day after the super bowl. As I should have known, the article I read showed all the political ads getting a grade of “A”. Just more liberal nonsense.
Audi’s are waaaay overpriced Volkswagens. How does overpaying for a car help those poor underpaid women?
“How does overpaying for a car help those poor underpaid women?”
Audi’s subliminal ad: “Hey, stooped broads! Since you’re dumb enough o get paid so little, let us scam you into an overpriced VW!”
Out of curiosity about the history behind the ad, I read a little about Busch and discovered that he didn’t like beer, preferring wine, and always referred to Budweiser as “dot schlop.”
I’ve seen that commercial here in Maine.
Tom Brady places his super bowl rings in a small safe in the waiting room.
I DVR’ed the whole game and started watching at 7:30. Then used the 30 second advance button to skip the huddles, the BS from the commentators and the commercials...and watched Star Trek during half time. Quite enjoyable.
As a St. Louis native of German ancestry, I was curious about what Anheuser-Busch would do. I found the commercial beautifully-filmed and very moving, and pretty much a completely-fabricated story bearing only the slightest resemblance to Adolphus Busch’s actual biography.
Breitbart has a link to an interesting Slate article that provides some needed clarification:
“We are not as third-world as they like to imagine.”
That’s just it. All those ads were trying to soothe the nation into accepting the idea that third-world is all we are and should be, and if you don’t accept it your are racist, along with all the “ics” and “isms”.
Yeah, huge let down, the Audi ad.
Especially considering last year’s ad on the R8...
You probably haven’t driven any of the Audi S or RS series.
They def aren’t dressed up VW’s.
There was a ball game on? I was watching some old DVD movies from the 1940s and 1960s. No time for men chasing balls.
During that ridiculous Coca-Cola ad, I switched for a short time. HSN was having a sale on bath towels.
I liked the Hyundai ad. Go-Daddy blew a few million on a piece of garbage no one will ever remember. Coca Cola was being Coca Cola, which was expected. It’s been almost 45 years and they still haven’t figured out how to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony. I can tell them, I add Jack Daniels to their product and I sing great. The Justin Timberlake, Christopher Walken ad was funny as was the Justin Beiber ad. I just don’t remember what they were for.
As for Lady Gaga, I enjoyed her performance. It was clean, energetic and she entertained both vocally and instrumentally. Say what you want about her, but those meat sweater, acting like an idiot days have been over for a while.
While all the other rally cars are straight off the showroom floor, of course. LOL.
Skipped the game, watched the ads at Brietbart.
My sister and nephew, who did watch everything, tell me that there were no ads with a political theme. I guess they don’t know politics very well, even though my nephew and BIL watch cable news shows every day, which have been nothing but politics for the past year.
