Super Bowl Ads

 Let me just be frank here. I couldn't have cared less about the Super Bowl outcome. I was in it for the commercials. And the Indiana pride.

Our family scooted down to Indy this weekend to enjoy the Super Bowl festivities (minus the Super Bowl). We met Justin there, so it was a win all the way around. Indy did a fabulous job with the Super Bowl Village--though of course, I have no previous experiences to compare it to.

Now on to the commercials. Not as funny as some SBs in the past, in my opinion. There were naked M&Ms, pretty funny,  a moonwalking dog, chimpanzees, and polar bears. My favs were the Doritos commercials: "You didn't see nuthin'" (my apologies to cat owners) and baby bungee--because I have remember what it was like to have an obnoxious older brother.

Detroit scored with another poignant commercial. None of the movie trailers targeted females, certainly not me. Wasn't sure what to think about the apocalypse/Twinkie one.

Nostalgia winner, hands down, goes to the Ferris Bueller spoof. Even funnier because my kids didn't get it.

What were your favs?

  1. Ferris Bueller and Seinfeld were tied for me. Both were a surprise and made me laugh. Loved them. I'm now yearning for a new Ferris Bueller movie.

  2. My top three were Clint Eastwood, M&Ms, and the Doritos commercials. I didn't care for the Apocalypse by Chevy - it felt sacrilegious or something.

    I learned something cool about the dog/cat Doritos commercial - a professor at my school (Regent University) made it with a friend. It was a "low budget" (they spent $20 to make it) contest entry, and they won $1 Million! So cool!

  3. My fave was the panther chasing the car. Also loved Ferris Bueller!

  4. I haven't seen them all yet, but I am a Marvel fan so the Avengers one caught my attention. Can you believe I've never seen Ferris Bueller? LOL
