Super Bowl Commercial GTKY

[lickwed]

Okay, the only reason most people watch the Super Bowl is the commercials.  So, what were your favorites and why.  What did you think of the commercials  as a whole?  Good, bad, outstanding, meh, let us know.  If you didn't see them all, click here and you can see them.  The banned Go Daddy ad counts and you can see that one here.

I loved the Budweiser puppy and Clydesdale ad. They always make me cry though. So have a tissue handy.

Budweiser one is my favorite. They always make me cry. If you watch the go daddy one right after, it will stop the tears with laughter. That's what DH did because I was bawling.

The domestic violence one really spoke to me too. A few years ago I learned that Super Bowl Sunday was the one day of the year that had the highest incidences of domestic abuse. I thought having that ad run on during the Super Bowl was really moving.

I think the Nationwide commercial about the boy that didn't grow up was horrifying and made me want nothing to do with them. Overall I found myself crying at too many commercials and found there to be more depressing commercials than funny ones.

The Doritos commercial was funny. (guy on a plane).

bearfootz I missed the Nationwide one with the boy. The Nationwide one with Matt Damon and the girl from the Office was just creepy.

I missed that one, the one with the boy was depressing

Loved the Budweiser one. Teared up at that one! I thought the Doritos one was pretty funny, too. I like funny over touching for the super bowl, but did find the domestic abuse one to be compelling and effective.

Oooh this is a fun GTKY lickwed!! I liked a lot more this year than last but so many were tear-jerkers and totally tugged on heartstrings! I thought the funniest one was probably the Viagra that accidentally fell into the Fiat's gas tank and turned it from two door to four LOL! I thought the P&G/Always ad embracing girl power sent a strong message and the one about DV (where the abuse victim pretends to
order a pizza while talking to a dispatcher so that the abuser wouldn't know) was very powerful.

DH thought that was funny coming from a product that is made for something only girls could do..."menstrate like a girl."  I wanted to bop him on the head for that one but I was laughing to hard.

Well...ya know, the Gillette Mach V just didn't seem to cut it for the girls LOL!

I cried at this one and luckily hid it from MH b/c he always pics on me for being such a hardass day-to-day but commercials, TV shows, books and such always make me cry! I also shed a tear at the Nissan commercial.

[wannabmama]

aswedishbee I totally welled up at the Nissan ad...so did DH...shhhh don't tell anyone, ha.

[bearfootz]

The Dodge 100 year one was good too

I felt like the cruise ship one with audio about the sea was a ripoff of the Dodge commercial featuring Paul Harvey

[meredithcarole]

"Dad"' was a theme for a lot of commercials. I cried a lot at commercials last night....

[octavia65]

Fun GTKY! So...I thought that overall the commercials were really somber and not very good. Agree that the Nationwide commercial with the boy was horrifyingly depressing. I get what they were trying to do but not the right place for it. The Fiat commercial was pretty good and I did really like the "dad" and "like a girl" commercials but just not for the Super Bowl. But then again I complain every other year when all the commericals are just people getting punched or girls in bikinis so maybe I'm just never happy

[nikolie93]

I was at a party and even then budweiser one came on they all looked at me.. And I didn't disappoint. They so knew I would get teary eyed.

Most I know loved the Nissan one since most are all Nissan owners but all I got out of it was a dad that missed his sons childhood. I found it very sad

I liked the doritos one on the plane and the Fiat commercial with the cialis (except the beginning when it made me think of really old people sex lol)

[nikolie93]

Can I just add wtactualf with the halftime show with the dancing trees, sharks, and beach balls? I think I needed acid to enjoy it.

And the flame outfit? Ack!

[octavia65]

[nikolie93]

octavia65 that's the first thing I thought of when I saw her on that!

Yeah we noticed the "dad" theme too. MH got choked up quite a bit...

[WVaRN]

I slept during the super bowl so I had to watch the commercials online when I got to work. I got the feels with the Budweiser add. The song with the puppy was just to much.

The Doritos commercial was funny. (guy on a plane).

I found the Nationwide one so distasteful and disturbing....  the way the two other serious topical commercials were done were much better (End domestic violence and How we speak about girls).  I am disgusted by the Nationwide one.

The Budweiser puppy was just lovely- not as tear inducing as last year's to me for some reason, perhaps bc I'm "familiar" with the characters, but my favorite by far.

The viagra/ Car? one was cute but I don't even recognize the car name so there's that...

The Dorito's one was funniest.

[vh2014]

Overall, I wasn't really impressed. I like to laugh. The "little blue pill" and the car made me laugh... because the suspense of where it was going was just too much. The one with the dad taking the girl to the airport was really sweet... but this year I actually enjoyed the game and the effects at the half time show were pretty cool.

[luvmyponies]

Of course I always love the Budweiser commercials, the Nationwide commercial was horrible. Just what I want to think about while I'm having a good time with my family, dead kids. I work in mental health and sometimes I'd just like a break from the seriousness of life... tough to do with all the tear jerker commercials.

[flyliceandcoffee]

I was the weirdo who was watching the game and not much of the commercials haha. although, am I the only one who thought the loctite commercial won the internets?! The extended version was hilarious.

[agpjt413]

And what really sucked re: Nationwide was that their first one of the night was hilarious & super cute! It had Mindy Kalig (sp?) & Matt Damon (towards the end). Too bad for their next one...

[wirt2cute]

I did not watch any of the game however I did you tube the commercials and I loved the Microsoft and McDonald's commercials. I also thought Kim K's was pretty funny because she was making fun of herself.
