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?

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.

StableDiffusion

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
