The Super Bowl is today. This event is more of a national pastime, than just another sporting event. Outside of the few hundred thousand fans of the Colts and Saints, the Average Joe (or Jonathan, in this case) is just looking for a good, competitive game. Or AND AWESOME COMMERCIALS!
The Super Bowl Ad’s are like the unwritten reason why 58.7%* of Super Bowl viewers watch. So when the Saints start blowing out the Colts in the 3rd quarter and all you have to look forward to is another Doritos commercial, you can check out some of our favorite Super Bowl commercials of ALL TIME!
Here are our Top 5 (Feel free to add your own suggestions in the comments section):
#5: E*Trade- “Money Out The Wazoo!”
A classic hospital scene with a man with a problem we wish we were all having.
E*Trade- \”Money Out The Wazoo\”
#4: Apple- “1984”
Hey, we are in the TV business here. And we are all geeks with Macs. Just be glad that I didn’t put this number 1.
#3: McDonald’s- “The Showdown”
It might be a football game that you are watching, but the commercials are all about superstars. When you combine Larry Bird and Michael Jordan, it makes for a good commercial. The word on the street is that LeBron James and Dwight Howard will star in a remake this year.
#2: Bud Light- “Magic Fridge”
The over-21 beverage spots are at an all-time high during the Super Bowl. And this happens to be one of my recent favorites. Humor goes a long way in selling a product.
#1: Pepsi- “Security Camera”
This ad goes to show that a motion picture sized budget and fancy graphics aren’t needed to get the point across. Simple. To the point. Hilarious.
