The Superbowl. A time to watch the two best teams in the NFL fight for the championship of the league, or if your team is not playing, a time watch some, hopefully, awesome commercials. Personally, I could have cared less which team won the Superbowl as I am a San Francisco 49ers fan. I tuned in with a pile of snacks and barbecue food at my in-laws house with the wife and her family.
Hoping to not miss a single thing I stayed glued to the screen the entire game and made sure I was watching at every commercial break. There were definitely some commercials that were a huge disappointment and received a "meh" reaction from those watching with me and myself as well. However, there was some amazing commercials that engaged me and made me want to watch them again on YouTube the next day. I enjoyed the "Old World Luxury" Audi commercial and the "Darth Vader Kid" VW commercial the most by far. After those there were some others like the "Doritos Bring Stuff Back to Life" commercial and the Bud Light "Hack Job" commercial were also enjoyable. I'm sure there were others, but these ones have stuck in my memory since this past Sunday. These four commercials seemed to do a great job appealing to a majority of the audience across different demographics. I will leave them linked down below.
On a complete side note my wife and her mother enjoy the Black Eyed Peas a fair amount and were excited for the half time show where they were to perform. As soon as it started I cringed, but did my best to think through the reasons it may have sounded poor to us sitting in their living room. I thought, "maybe it sounds good in the stadium and it's just not coming through nice for us." As it went on and Slash came on stage and his guitar sounded great I started to lose those thoughts. He did his best to save and recover the show, but it really continued to go downhill. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't there and I don't know anyone that was so I have no one to ask how it sounded in person, but I will still give them the benefit of the doubt for that. I look forward to the next Superbowl where we can see more amazing commercials and hopefully a better half time show.
