Super Bowl LIV commercials: The best and the worst
Fox News ^ | 02/03/2020 | Staff

With the Super Bowl comes a slew of commercials vying for viewers' attention. During advertising's biggest night, companies and organizations forked over up to $5.6 million for 30 seconds — with nearly 100 million people tuning into the big game.

This year, Hyundai and Jeep made the "best of" list with their whimsical humor by poking fun at Boston accents and reuniting the “Groundhog Day” cast, Punxsutawney Phil included. Google struck heartstrings with a quiet message about aging and remembrance. Cheetos and Doritos both played off exaggerated dancing to good effect.

IF I were the CEO of some of the companies I'd be firing my advertising/creative mgr. Some of the commercials were downright terrible.

But then again, the CEO probably approved the commercial.

The commercials didn’t live up to the over hype, the halftime show was the worst ever, the game was pretty good, nice to see dirty frisco get embarrassed.

Anyone who watches the Super Bowl for the ads needs to get a life.

But to me, that is true of anyone who watches the Super Bowl period.

No, it was not like the old Bud Light commercial days...there was a lot of creativity then. And many of them were funny. The quest for quality and craftsmanship died a long time ago in this country.

Well, Canadian law blocks American advertising on the game’s telecast up here, so I am glad I least missed out on the repulsive Bloomberg ad on gun control.

Watch part of it and found it very creepy knowing Big Brother is behind it.

Really liked the one where the mans mustache moved. Too funny. Couldn’t tell you what the commercial was about but I really thought that part was funny.

I am so sick of the “Girl Power” message. Sick of it.

What I saw on display, outside of the playing field, was toxic feminists.

What have we become in this country where — everything — is female centric/dominant? In keeping with corporate America and Madison Avenue, the only the thing a male is useful for, especially a White male, is to be the buffoon or foil to the stronger, wiser female.

Enough.

Bounty was funny, but I’m a sucker for a good poop joke.

The Tide ones were the most creative. Went on through most of the game. I chuckled at the Doritos with Sam Elliot. The rest except Trump’s were meh.
