While I've come to enjoy football more over the last few years, the main draw of the Super Bowl for me has always been the commercials.
This year I wasn't horribly impressed. I don't think any of them will make a lasting cultural impression. But these are my thoughts:
Best Trailer: MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - FINAL RECKONING
Only a few new shots in this trailer, but I have to say that all of the high-flying action has me incredibly excited.
This commercial was so weird that I found myself laughing out loud at how ridiculous it was.
I loved seeing all the old mascots throughout the years. It was fun to find the very obscure ones from my childhood.
Like the Mountain Dew Commercial, this was so over-the-top ridiculous, but I couldn't help but find it incredibly funny. What can I say? I have a weird sense of humor.
Most Emotional - Google Gemini
This ad really got to me. At first it was just the usually schmaltzy. But the last shots where the father is crying in the car and then his daughter hugs him and turns back into a little girl... that got me right in the feels.
Readers of this blog know what a big Affleck fan I am. I think this was also a really good ad that took a pot shot at the more expensive coffee houses: "How much to wait a half-hour to get my name spelled wrong on the cup?" I don't know why, but I loved that line.
All of these are my own subjective feelings. What are your thoughts?
