My impression of the ads was that, of the ones that piqued my interest...they never finished them off correctly, and by the time the commercial ended, I was unenthusiastic about the commercial.

There weren’t any really great ones.

On the Google ad, I thought at the end of the ad when they simply had a white page with the Google icon and “Google” under it, they should have had a fade in that said:

“We’re not spying on you” followed by a short pause, then complete it to say:

“We’re not spying on you now.”

I admit I was a little shocked at the pole dancing thing. I was watching it distractedly, then suddenly realized “That is a pole dance. This is new. The Super Bowl is featuring Pole Dancing.”

I admit that it caught me off guard.

I didn’t like it. (I am no fan of Jennifer Lopez at all, and that made it even more un-likable for me)

The younger woman Shakira was more interesting musically (and visually) but not by much.

Both of them looked like they were simply finding ways to show their crotch as the point of their shows to the point I found it off-putting.

“Superbowl ads are not cheap. Who would have paid beaucoup bucks for that piece of garbage?”

I kept thinking, are any of these insipid multimillion dollar ads going to bring the companies any additional sales?

That would explain the trend.
