Every year the Superbowl brings all sorts of excitment to football fans all over the globe but one thing that sets this game apart from any other Sunday (besides it being a championship) is the commerical breaks. All Americans, football fans or not, anticipate these commericals because they are humerous, original, brand new and give us something to talk about. A Superbowl commerical slot is known for being the most expensive timeslot all year around but this year had a record breaking price tag of $3 million dollars for 30 seconds. Pepsi and Doritos had a competition between consumer to who could come up with the best 30 second commerical and they actually showed 6 of the finalists ideas. It is always a compeitition between companies to have the best commerical of the year. If you watched this past sunday popular celebrities such as Justin Bieber, Ozzy Osbourne, etc. were all formulated in the mix. Here was my favorite from this year: M&M's: "Sexy and I know it"

I think my favorite all-time superbowl commerical was Budweiser's frogs. What was yours?
Probably my all-time favorite was "1984" for Apple. Only aired once, but had such power.
ReplyDeleteAs you mentioned, I definitely noticed all the celebrities that were in different commercials this year. I think the celebrities did not help or hinder the commercials because there are more commercials that had no celebrities that I remember better than the ones with them. I believe that the commercials that were set apart as the more popular or creative ones were the commercials that grabbed the audiences attention and kept their interest throughout the entire commercial. The M&M commercial was also my favorite commercial. I thought it was simple, cute, and funny and it was easy to remember because of the popular LMFAO song they included in the commercial.
