15 Best and Worst Super Bowl 51 Commercials

TVGuide

A lot of people watch the Super Bowl. In fact, it's one of the most watched things every year. How many people actually watch it for the football, though? The commercials are where it's at. Companies use their best creators and advertisers to create the best and most interactive, funny or heartfelt messages that people talk about for weeks. They use the best because it costs the most money to advertise during the Super Bowl because a ton of people watch it! Here are the best and worst commercials of 2017!

Best:

Ford Go Further | Ford

This commercial really didn’t have much to do with Fords, but it was really cool to see that everyone fails. Everyone struggles in life. It was the perfect blend of funny and adorable.

The Internet Wants You | GoDaddy Big Game Commercial

Combined examples of everything Internet in the past few years. From the ice bucket challenge, the controversy over “The Dress” and Rick Rolling, this commercial shows everything popular on the internet.

Honda CR-V 2017 Big Game Commercial - Yearbooks

This is the definition of glow up for these stars and celebrities. They CGI-ed yearbook photos of tons of stars talking about their futures and encouraging people to follow their dreams.

Super Bowl Baby Legends | Who’s Next? | Football is Family

I guess this commercial is promoting the NFL? It’s basically babies dressed up as different stars in NFL history. The kids are so cute.

Mr. Clean | New Super Bowl Ad | Cleaner of Your Dreams

Who knew you could be so attracted to an animated character? The high energy feel of this commercial makes it very likable. Dancing is always a good idea.

2017 Kia Niro | “Hero’s Journey” Starring Melissa McCarthy

This commercial pokes fun at all the people that are trying to do everything to save the world. While this may be good in theory, but not one person can do it all. But Melissa McCarthy makes this commercial hilarious.

The Walking Dead Season 7 "Football Season Is Over" Teaser Promo

Very simple, and it caught you off guard. Perfect for people sick of Sunday nights being consumed by football.

We Accept| Airbnb

This commercial quickly started trending as a “smack in the face to our president” by saying that we all belong, no matter who we love or where we’re from. A very simple commercial, with a very important message.

Not all the commercials were good though. Here are some of the misses...

Worst:

Brady Everyday | Tom Brady | Intel

Just because he won the Super Bowl and MVP, again, doesn't mean he needs to star in a commercial. Not everything his does is epic.

#UnlimitedMoves with Justin Bieber | T-Mobile Commercial

This commercial had promise, and with the kid’s dancing and sassy comment, it looked like a winner. Its downfall was when Justin Bieber decided to comment on his own dancing…

Febreze 2017 Super Bowl Commercial | Halftime #BathroomBreak

I don’t think I’ve ever heard of the Halftime bathroom break and neither had anyone else. I guess it was timely placed into the commercial lineup, but not well executed.

Persil Super Bowl Commercial 2017 Ft. Bill Nye

Good job to an unknown laundry detergent company getting a Superbowl commercial slot. This had potential, but the acting was so poor. It wasn’t funny-bad either, just plain bad. Good try, but no.

Wix.com Big Game First Spot with Jason Statham & Gal Gadot

Throwing celebrities into them doesn’t create a good commercial. Why does Jason Statham belong in a Wix commercial?

Turkish Airlines - Morgan Freeman Super Bowl Commercial (2017)

Again, Morgan Freeman? Turkish Airlines isn’t a relevant company, how did they get him? How much did that cost?

eye roll

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

16 Things Blondes Are Tired Of Hearing

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.

15 Things That Happen On Your Birthday

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.
