I found a website this morning that rated the best and worst Super Bowl commercials from yesterday’s extravaganza. Since there was only one commercial of those I’d seen that really caught my attention, I wondered what the website would say.
So I spent half an hour viewing commercials that had aired last night and that really went over my head. The one that Earl and I liked best was deemed one of the worst.
Commercials were rife with cameos from Hollywood types: Martin Scorsese, Christopher Walken, Sir Anthony Hopkins, Jennifer Anniston, Ben Affleck, et al.
There were definite themes: extraterrestrial challenges, promos of coming movies in theatres, lots of mayhem regardless of the situation.
As I viewed a commercial without its accompanying commercials, I saw more of the content and intention that I didn’t see when the commercial segued into another that segued into another.
Without intrusions, the Anheuser-Busch Clydesdale commercial made me smile. Like me, the Clydesdales are “over the hill” and don’t appeal to younger beer drinkers. But the horses delivered to the younger generation in the ad.
As for our favorite commercial that ranked at the bottom of the list, I still think seeing Eagle and Raven football players flying away because the season is over is pretty funny.
