Well said
“We were presented with a panoply of post-modern themes: technology idolatry, pop culture idolatry, gender neutrality/bending, diversity and, of course, climate concern.”
And one more post-modern theme: stupidity
Long for the days of Budweiser frogs, Master Lock, and Apple “1984”.
Dreadful, but I'm sure the writers are in Schiff denial and thought they were great.
That about sums up the current state of the US. When we decided that diversity and multiculturalism were the highest ideals & that egalitarianism about the only thing worth projecting and protecting we were destined to be where we are. Nothing about an old white Western morality or history that is worth a damn. Morality has become old fashion and passe and our past apparently not worth emulating or protecting.
You know it’s bad when there’s not even a funny beer commercial in the bunch.
They had the Tide ad on up here (Canadian law blocks US ads on telecasts up here). Found the reverse sexism in one of them repulsive.
The dancing horse in the Doritos ad was pretty funny. Trump’s ad was the best one of the night.
I know exactly when this author went to the kitchen for another beer:
Budweiser Typical American 2020 Super Bowl Commercial
Game was great, commercials plus half-time show, not so much. I had to watch to know what all the fuss was about. Learned really quick.
I didn’t see the whole game, but I thought every one of the commercials that I saw was stupid. And the stupidest of all was one in which someone at a party threw a pot of soup into a ceiling fan which splattered it all over the guests and everything in the room. And it didn’t even say in the ad what was being advertised!
Superbowl ads are not cheap. Who would have paid beaucoup bucks for that piece of garbage?
I looked at the ads and said “This is the effect of rampant drug abuse.”
I noticed that 50 % of the ads had 100% actors of color in them. The other 50% had actors of color, mostly dominating the ads.
Where’s the diversity?
I like that. Thanks for posting.
I saw nothing of the Super Bowl or the commercials so have no idea how many commercials were good but that is a good one.
i also didn’t know what products or companies were being advertised in some of the ads.
Hope their marketing people consider the expensive ad space worth it, if people can’t even understand what the product is, and/or what political statement you are trying to make.
I really wonder about a sport that generates as much or more talk about the commercials than about the game.
The ads and half-time pole dancing represent what they think American popular culture is, and what they want it to be.
I liked some of the ads, but thought they paid way too much money for stupid stuff.
