I thought the VW ad and both Doritos ads were funny (the one with the goat was funnier)
I’m with you, I thought the vw commercial was funny, not insulting or hurtful towards anyone. Yes, the go daddy one was nasty, I speed watching part way into the kiss, second time it came on I went to the kitchen. I thought the t shirt one and the Doritos ones were dumb. I liked the bud voodoo doll one,thought it was on - there’s always a fan for the other team just as into it as you are.
This year was terrible compared to past years, nothing really clever.
I watched very little of the superbowl, though I did see the Clydesdale ad. Very good one, but it seems that whenever they pull out the Clydesdales, the ads are good.
Nice to see someone besides Anheuser-Busch can make a memorable, pro-military commercial while keeping their product low-key (Jeep).
Not only are the Go Daddy commercials bad, their company sucks to boot.
C’mon! The best was PSY in the pistachio advert!
Who couldn’t help but laugh with PSY lip-synching “Crackin’ Gangnam Style” while the chorus in the background sang, “Heeyyyyyyyy, crack your nuts, now!”
The Doritos commercial was funny!
I was eating when the “Go Daddy” kiss commerical came on. Sickening.
On the best, a toss up between Dodge Ram “God made farmers” and the Jeep salute to our troops.
Kleenex for both...
The second Go Daddy ad was actually effective in its message, and lacking in sexual crudity (for a change). Can’t see that being a “worst” ad. (The first one was easily the bottom of the barrel, however.)
Doritos Goat, Bud Light - jinxing the chair, and the dateless kid taking his dad’s car to the prom & kissing the prom queen.
And the M&M commercial.
Wife, kids and I had a SB Commercial watching party - we fast forwarded through most of the game and stopped for the commercials.
We didn’t mind the VW commercial - we thought that if they played that very often it would quickly become annoying, but it wasn’t offensive.
We liked the Doritos commercials - goat and girl/daddy/friends (goat one was best).
We really didn’t care for the Century 21 ads - we just didn’t think they were that funny. Our 16 year old commented that apparently all those women are Gold Diggers looking for the first opportunity to “off” their husbands for insurance money. Now THAT was funny!
The Farmer ad was awesome! We thought the Jeep commercial was heart-felt, but my wife commented on how far Oprah had fallen that she needed to do a voice-over for a commercial.
The voodoo commercials were pretty good (of course, I am a Miller man, so the product SUCKS), but their commercials are usually funny.
The half-time show SUCKED! It had nothing but partially-naked women shaking their butts at, and thrusting their ho-ha’s at, the camera! You could barely hear her sing and I heard more of the back-up singers throughout the whole show that Beyounce! It was very BAD!
I thought the two (carbonated flavorless water sold as if it was beer) commercials w/ Stevie Wonder were funny. The oreos in the library commercial was hilarious. Although opinions vary.
Worst year for commercials I’ve ever seen. The kid kissing the prom queen one was ok.
The commercials were generally so unmemorable that I wondered if they are intentionally trying to start deemphasizing them.
Farmer, Clydesdale, without question. I also liked the Taco old fogy nursing home night out. Funny! But so many of the ads made little sense and used sex to make a point instead of humor. I did like the Doritos dad and his friends, tho.
Why is there always so much destruction? Crashes all over, yet no one hurt. Makes people feel immortal. Not just commercials, but movies too. The Oreo was funny in a way, but only in that the rescuers whispered, too.
Notice most of the WashPost reasons were for politically correct reasons. Not quality of ad. The Godaddy ad was uncomfortable, but not because it objectified women or demeaned nerds. It was the gross up close kissing. That said, it was extremely effective (as usual).
I LOVED the God made a farmer ad for Ram with Paul Harvey
