What’s one of the main reasons people watch the Superbowl? The commercials of course!
This year, the cost for a 30 second commercial…$4.5 Million dollars, I wish I had that kind of money! Oh well, it reaches a ‘gazillion’ people, right? Worth it for the company… they wouldn’t do it otherwise, would they?
There have been some great commercials over the years and I will share a few with you. This year, I fell in love with the Brady Bunch Snickers commercial, mostly because it had Danny Trejo [Machete] is in it and you know how much I love that movie! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RasdnWfPC_E
A great one that premièred in 2011 which was a hit and one of my favorites, the VW Darth Vader: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1n6hf3adNqk
But… the one that gets me EVERY time is anything with the Clydesdales and this one was the brothers one and I watched in just now, boo hop hoo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTbLBL2P6YA
Here’s something that kind of bugged me over the last few years. It used to be that when a company premièred a commercial during the Superbowl it was new and a surprise, but now, half of the commercials have been on TV for a while or on youtube, so they’re not a surprise or special and then I think…what’s the point? I know it’s to sell products and advertise, but that was half the reason people show up to Superbowl parties or to even watch the game. Come on, surprise me!
Here is a compilation that I found of the 25 top Superbowl commercials, I didn’t watch the entire video, but I don’t always agree with everyone else on what’s awesome, but have some fun watching.
