Super Bowl Ad Review: Winners!!!

At long last! I have caught up on the Super Bowl Ads. And, after going over them, there are a few that stood out, either they worked for me, they failed for me, or they left me going… “what?!” And of course, being a Business Major, I LOVE commercials, I LOVE Super Bowl Sunday, oh sure… there’s a big game on, but!!! There are also commercials! (Prof. Bryant, aren’t you proud)

AT LAST

The list of the ones I feel WON!:

SLUG BUG!!!



I love this commercial!

VW has taken a game, that EVERYONE either plays or has played, and instead of denying its existence (though it has no reason to) it has taken ownership of it! It has made it its own!

PLUS!

A blind guy who can see. B-E-A-utiful! Win, full on win!

AHHH Clark Griswold strikes again!

What better way to display how inefficient the traditional way of doing things is than Clark Griswold. The epic failure of failures. Good to see him on the road after all these years, and I can’t believe his wife hasn’t killed him yet.

My major problem with this ad is the French reference. Besides that, I LOVE how Google flat out says, “We will provide you with anything and everything”
After all, according to one of the 12 billion doomsday shows on History Channel, Google can predict the future.

Laughing My Ass Off!

Aahhh Brett… will you ever quit?

I don’t know, but I do know this commercial is GOLD for the audience that it was going for.

You all know I am a Pepsico person, BUT, I highly respect the Coke Marketing Department (not the Coke Zero Marketing Department, those guys are shmucks).
Watch closely!

They take what is going on in current day America. They take two classic icons of America, The Simpsons and Coke. THEN they mix all 3 together!
And everyone has a smile by the end of the commercial.

Beautiful.

Betty White = funniest old woman ever!

This commercial played to its audience.

It showed its audience what using it can help them achieve, in this case, turn a scrawny guy who plays like Betty White, into a guy who can perfectly catch a pass.
Oh ya, and it was friggin flaggin hilarious!

AND NOW!!!

My favorite 2010 Super Bowl Commercial:




It played to an audience of men who have probably been saying quotes from “The Hangover” all day. And of course, it’s hilarious! You are left wondering “How the hell did they get an orca in the back of the truck!?!” and so, your mind begins to wonder, and fill in the gap, but then you think, who cares, it’s friggin hilarious. Then you and your buddies get into discussion on tires and are Bridgestone really that good?

I don’t know, I’m not a tire guy, but I do know, I really really liked this commercial.



2010 Super Bowl, these are the winners… the cream of the crop who rose up to the challenge of their rivals. Good commercials… I salute you!
