The Best and Worst Super Bowl Commercials

It was a weak crop of Super Bowl commercials this year . . . sort of like the game.  But there were some stand-outs:  Our favorites were brilliant badass BOB DYLAN and his Chrysler ad about what makes America great . . . Radio Shack's reunion of '80s icons . . . and Budweiser's ad about the friendship between a Clydesdale and a puppy.  Our least favorite was probably the Kia ad with LAURENCE FISHBURNE doing an uninspired "Matrix" parody.

The Top Five Commercials

 

1.  Chrysler nailed it with their BOB DYLAN commercial, that rounded up every image of Americana from the past 60 years.  That can seem like shameless pandering . . . but not when it features a BRILLIANT BADASS like Dylan.

 

 

2.  We loved the Radio Shack ad where the '80s icons smashed up the store to introduce the "new" more modern Radio Shack . . . Alf, HULK HOGAN, the California Raisins, KID 'N PLAY, MARY LOU RETTON.

 

 

3.   Once again, Doritos crowdsourced their commercials and had a winner.  They had a spot where a kid with a homemade time machine accidentally tricked a guy into thinking he'd been transported to the future.  It definitely worked.

4.  Budweiser ran an emotionally manipulative commercial about one of their Clydesdales becoming friends with a puppy.  But emotional manipulation WORKS.

 

 

Every Super Bowl party in America had women crying after that one.  And the ad won the "USA Today" Ad Meter.

 

 

5.  We also really liked Hyundai's ad where a dad kept saving his kid the moment before imminent danger . . . until they were driving in a Hyundai, which had the safety features to do it for him.

The reunion of JERRY SEINFELD and JASON ALEXANDER to promote Seinfeld's awesome web series "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee".  It looks like they're going to do the upcoming episode in character.

 

 

Budweiser threw a parade for a returning soldier, featured it in one of their ads, and even got the guy to go to the Super Bowl . . .

 

 

And Chevy's ad featuring a sexy bull being transported to see other sexy cows.  (???)  But the tone wasn't clear, the comedy wasn't either, and we're still a little confused.

The Five Bottom Commercials

1.  Bud Light stormed out of the gate doing a two-part commercial about an average dude who got a "crazy" night featuring run-ins with Minka Kelly, Don Cheadle, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and One Direction.

They tried to make it epic but it just felt sterile and didn't quite connect.  They clearly blew ALL of their effort on that ad . . . because a Bud Light ad later only showed close-ups of their new bottle.

2.  GoDaddy's hyped commercial about a woman quitting her job on live TV to start a puppet company definitely got lost in the shuffle.  It didn't have the impact they were clearly hoping for.

3.  We REALLY wanted to like the "Full House" guys reuniting for Dannon Oikos Greek yogurt, but it just didn't land . . . because we knew it was coming.  They reunited on "Fallon" and the ad got a lot of hype.  A surprise would've been better.

4.  The LAURENCE FISHBURNE "Matrix" parody ad for Kia felt like they threw a lot of random, unconnected stuff together.  In the end, it was just scattered and forced.  Like, why would Morpheus from the Matrix start singing opera?

5.  Coke swinging and missing on a commercial of "America the Beautiful" in different languages that was desperately trying to make you say, "Wow, Coke LOVES America!"  But a lot of people online didn't like it.

Dishonorable mention goes to Axe body spray for their borderline misguided ad showing racial stereotypes choosing world peace over war . . .

And Maserati for throwing 10-year-old QUVENZHANÉ WALLIS in an ambiguous ad that wasn't clearly a car commercial until the last few seconds.  That might be the weirdest spokesperson and company matchup ever.

Super Bowl Commercials:  The "Controversies"

There weren't too many controversial ads during this year's Super Bowl but we found a few.  A Volkswagen ad showed engineers getting their wings, like angels . . . and there were NO female engineers.   And FOX aired SCARLETT JOHANNSON'S Sodastream ad, even though the company has gotten a LOT of heat for having a factory in the Palestinian West Bank in Israel.

1.  Volkswagen's ad showing engineers getting their wings, like angels, had a minor blowup on Twitter . . . because they showed NO female engineers.  The one woman in the ad didn't get wings . . . she slapped a man when his wings touched her.

 

 

2.  There was talk about whether SCARLETT JOHANNSON'S Sodastream ad would air, because the company has gotten a LOT of heat over having a factory in the Palestinian West Bank in Israel.  Fox DID end up airing it after all.

 

 

As for the controversy . . . it's hard to say whether or not people even know about it.  Someone at my Super Bowl party said, "Ooh, this ad is controversial because Sodastream is competing with Coke and Pepsi."  Which is sorta true . . .

 

 

Fox refused the commercial at first, because in the original, Scarlett said, "Sorry Coke and Pepsi", and of course those two companies spend tons of money on the Super Bowl.  So SodaStream had to cut that line from the ad.

 

 

3.  And finally, we HOPE this isn't a controversy . . . but the Cheerios ad showed an interracial family with a black dad, a white mom, and a mixed race girl.  In 2014, we're really happy that commercial aired during the Super Bowl.

The Seahawks Annihilated Peyton Manning and the Broncos in Super Bowl 48 

The Seattle Seahawks annihilated the Denver Broncos in the Super Bowl, 43-to-8.  Basically, Seattle was right on point . . . and the Broncos were NOT, as they committed four turnovers, and couldn't get anything going on offense.  Meanwhile, the weather was FINE . . . despite all the hysteria over the past week.

Obviously, the answer to the other question is:  The Seahawks' defense ANNIHILATED the Broncos' offense . . . and it wasn't even close.  The Seahawks won 43-to-8, and the game was LITERALLY a blowout from start to finish.

 

 

If the alcohol and / or food coma blocked your memory, here's a brief recap:

On the very first offensive play of the game, Manning's center snapped the ball before he was ready.  It flew over his head and rolled back into the end zone, giving the Seahawks a safety and a 2-to-0 lead.

 

 

Seattle followed with a pair of field goals, and then a touchdown in the second quarter.  Then, right after the Broncos' offense was FINALLY able to get a first down, Manning threw an interception, which Seattle ran back for ANOTHER touchdown.

 

 

It was actually Manning's second interception of the game.

 

 

During the ensuing kickoff, it looked like Denver fumbled, giving the ball back to Seattle AGAIN . . . but the call was reviewed and reversed, when the returner was ruled down by contact before the ball popped out.

 

 

A few minutes later, the half ended with the Seahawks up 22-to-0.

 

 

Any thoughts that the Broncos might turn things around in the second half were CRUSHED IMMEDIATELY, when PERCY HARVIN returning the kickoff 87 yards for a Seattle touchdown.

 

 

Later in the third, the Broncos fumbled . . . for real this time . . . and six plays later, the Seahawks were back in the end zone.  Quarterback RUSSELL WILSON hit up JERMAINE KEARSE for a 23-yard touchdown.

Bruno Mars' Halftime Performance Was Amazing  

BRUNO MARS brought PERFORMANCE back into the Super Bowl halftime show . . . with an outstanding set that included drumming, dancing, and a medley of his hits.  And he also joined in with the RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS on their song "Give It Away".

Joe Namath's Fur Coat . . . Cool or Cruel? 

:  The fur coat that JOE NAMATH wore for the coin toss was one of the more interesting things that happened last night.  What we want to know is, was it COOL or CRUEL?  Whatever your take, there's no denying it caused an UPROAR on social media.  One person on Twitter even compared Joe to the Ikea Monkey.

 

The most interesting thing that happened during the whole damn thing happened even before the coin toss:  JOE NAMATH'S FUR COAT.

 

 

Namath came out to toss the coin in one of the most PIMPIN' fur coats of all time.  The question is, was it COOL or CRUEL?

 

 

Remember, this is BROADWAY JOE, the MVP of Super Bowl 3 in 1969.  He was so cool he made the New York JETS cool.  In his day, he was like a cross between Tom Brady and George Clooney, and he did what he wanted.

 

 

He even wore PANTYHOSE in a Hanes commercial, and got his face lathered by a then-unknown FARRAH FAWCETT for Noxema.

Getting to the Super Bowl on Public Transit Was an Absolute Nightmare

About 15,000 people were expected to take the subway to the Super Bowl yesterday.  Instead, about 27,000 did, and apparently it was a NIGHTMARE.  It was upwards of 130 degrees in the stations, several people PASSED OUT, and medics had to push through hundreds of people to get to them.  Also, security basically stopped checking people's bags.  Luckily nothing bad happened.

Sports Junkies:  A List of Super Bowl 48 Trivia and Interesting Facts 

We've put together a list of interesting facts, stats and trivia from Super Bowl 48 . . . including:  The Seattle Seahawks' safety 12 seconds into the game became the fastest score EVER at the start of a Super Bowl.  Plus, Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson made $526,217 for the ENTIRE 2013 season, while Peyton Manning made $882,352 . . . for each WEEK of the season.

1.  The Denver Broncos are the first Super Bowl team to be shut out at halftime since the New York Giants in Super Bowl 35 in 2001.  They trailed the Baltimore Ravens 10-to-zero at the half, before ultimately losing 34-to-7.

 

 

2.  The Seattle Seahawks' safety 12 seconds into the game became the fastest score EVER at the start of a Super Bowl.

It beat the 2007 Super Bowl . . . when the Chicago Bears started off against the Indianapolis Colts with a kickoff return for a touchdown.  That happened 14 seconds into the game.  However, the Colts came back to win that one, 29-to-17.

 

 

3.  Interestingly enough, this is the third-straight year with a safety in the Super Bowl, but it's only the ninth safety in the Super Bowl's 48-year history.

4.  The Broncos have now faced the three largest halftime deficits in Super Bowl history.  They were down 22 in this one . . . they were down 27-3 (or by 24 points) in their 55-to-10 blowout loss to the San Francisco 49ers in 1990 . . .

And they were down 35-to-10 (or by 25 points) in their 42-to-10 loss to the Washington Redskins in 1988.  Not surprisingly, these three Denver losses are among the five worst Super Bowl blowouts in history.

 

 

5.  The Broncos have now lost FIVE Super Bowls, more than any other team.  However, they've also won TWO:  In 1998 and 1999.  The Seahawks are now 1-and-1 in Super Bowls.  They lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers 21-to-10 in 2006.

 

 

6.  Seahawks linebacker Malcolm Smith, who was named the game's MVP, became the first player in Super Bowl history to have a fumble recovery AND an interception return for a touchdown in the same game.

 

 

7.  The Broncos entered the Super Bowl with the highest scoring offense in NFL history.

 

 

8.  Despite the Broncos offensive problems last night, wide receiver Demaryius Thomas caught 13 passes . . . the most of anybody in Super Bowl history.   And Peyton Manning completed 34 passes, the most-ever by a Super Bowl quarterback.

 

9.  Check this out:  $526,217 is the base salary made by Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson for the ENTIRE 2013 season.   And $882,352 is the salary made by Peyton Manning . . . for each WEEK of the 2013 season.

 

 

10.  Can Seattle keep it together to turn their run into a dynasty?  According to Forbes.com, "the Seahawks tied the 1971 Miami Dolphins as the youngest Super Bowl winners ever with an average age of 26.4 years."

The Seahawks had the fourth youngest roster in the NFL this year, and Russell Wilson is just 25.  This is his second year in the NFL.

 

 

11.  According to Pregame.com, Las Vegas bookmakers ALREADY have the Seahawks as the favorite to win NEXT year's Super Bowl as well, with 7-1 odds.

 

 

12.  The Seahawks are the first team to win a Super Bowl with a team FULL of Super Bowl virgins since the Washington Redskins in 1983.  Every winner since then has had at least ONE dude who has Super Bowl experience.

 

 

13.  And finally, according to Pro Football Reference, the final score of the Super Bowl, 43-to-8, has NEVER BEFORE been the final score of an NFL game.  Not just in the Super Bowl . . . in ANY game.
