As I’ve said many times on this very site, the Super Bowl is pretty much all about the commercials for me. This year, there was a few commercials that I liked but, for the most part, the selection was pretty bland. Usually, I pick anywhere between 8 to 10 favorite Super Bowl Ads. This year, there’s only six that really made much of an impression on me.
And here they are:
6. Frito Lay — Push It!
Sloths are so cute!
5. Amazon — Mind Reader
Why is Alexa trying to destroy Scarlett Johansson’s marriage!?
4. All-Electric Chevy Silverado — New Generation
To be honest, I got kind of sick of all of the electric vehicle commercials that aired this year. Most of them felt …. a little insincere. But I did like this one, just because it reunited The Sopranos’s Meadow and Tony. Jr. It’s good to see that they’re still with us, regardless of what happened to Tony at the end of the series. I’m not sure how Tony would feel about his daughter driving an electric truck, though. “Gary Cooper didn’t need no charging station.”
3. Planet Fitness — What’s Gotten Into Lindsay?
Of course, if anything bad happens to Lindsay, we know who to blame.
2. Budweiser — A Clydesdale’s Journey
The horse survived! I had tears in my mismatched eyes.
- Salesforce — “The New Frontier”
I’m not sure what exactly Matthew McConaughey is selling here but he’s one of the few people who can pull off lecturing from a hot air balloon. As I watched this commercial, I considered that if McConaughey had run for governor, he could have floated around the state, campaigning from his balloon. Instead, we’re stuck with Beto and his skateboard. Oh well. Miss opportunities.
