Bad Bunny was dope. The Game was just ok. The ads were so mid; especially because they’re supposed to be showcasing the epitome of creativity in the industry.
Vote For your Favorite Super Bowl ad, a headline on LinkedIn encourage today. None. Can I vote for my least favorite? Yes? TY! The following were extremely creative, in how they went about blowing a minimum of $8 Million Dollars:
Someone told Draft Kings that they should further associate themselves with sports and play on its LIVE nature by pretending to air a live commercial. Someone then green-lit a terrible script.
Toyota’s ads were so lame I lost interest in under 5 seconds. They should have jumped the Grand Canyon in a Camry and called the spot ‘Grand Camry’. Think Big People !!!
State Farm, T-Mobile and the NBA all reworked lyrics to popular songs. That must have taken a lot of imagination.
Lay’s Potato chips tried to tug our heart strings, which is just strange coming from a snack which is safest when enjoyed in infrequent, small portions.
Pepsi maintains the crown for intentionally trying to destroy its brand during the Big Game, this time by reminding everyone how strong their #1 competitors’ is.
Unfortunately I can’t get the image of the kid spitting on his birthday cake as he blows out the candles out of my head in the Gemini spot.
Good Will Dunkin’? Doesn’t hold a candle to ‘Time To Make The Doughnuts’.
Ritz had a party on Ritz Island! I mean, it’s really impressive how they thought that one up. Being that paradise like adventures or mysterious investigations in an Island setting haven’t been done before (except for Shutter Island, Skull Island, Fantasy Island, Gilligan’s Island, Love Island, Temptation Island, Treasure Island…).
Finally, the Budweiser stallion raised a weak and wet behind the ear chick into a bold and glorious Hawk. I honestly still am not sure if it was supposed to be a spoof of themselves or not.
Maybe next year Coors will get the horse to drink out of a trough filled with the silver bullet…
