The Best and Worst of Super Bowl XLIX Commercials
Marketing Land

There is a reason that the Super Bowl takes the top rank as the most viewed television event of all time and it sure is not for the football. We have all been patiently waiting to see who has given us the best entertainment through commercials and of course the ones who make us question the sanity of the entire advertising industry. So without further ado, I give you the top five best and worst commercials of Super Bowl XLIX.


The Best:

Budweiser, “Lost Dog”

Budweiser knew exactly what they were doing when they threw in an adorable lost puppy that brought a tear to most viewers’ eyes. The sentiment was brilliant, and the puppy was genius.

Always, “#LIKEAGIRL”

Everyone always enjoys some girl power and this Always commercial does a great job of capturing it. Showing off those confident little cuties made for a powerful message.

Snickers, “The Brady Bunch”

Bringing back an old time classic with a hilarious twist is always guaranteed to get a great response. Plus, throwing Steve Buscemi into the mix can always help!

Coca-Cola, “#MakeItHappy"

Turning all the world’s hate into happiness with the spill of just one Coca-Cola bottle? It is impossible not to enjoy this uplifting commercial especially with all the internet hate we see these days.

NoMore.Org

Bringing a remarkable true story to national attention was a clever and tasteful way to spread domestic violence awareness . Not to mention it blew away the awkward “Speechless” commercials aired on ESPN involving famous athletes getting emotional making the whole world feel all kinds of uncomfortable.

The Worst:

Fiat 500X, “Blue Pill”

Trying to play on the idea of erectile dysfunction to provide humor to your commercial is just never going to end well. As expected, it was not funny.

T-Mobile, “#KimsDataStash”

While I appreciate the attempt at bring funny, everyone is sick and tired of seeing Kim Kardashian plastered all over the media and her obnoxious narcissism is starting to lose its humor.

GoDaddy, “Working”

This commercial was just extremely subpar. Not to mention, according to the content of the commercial, their target audience would be “too busy” working than sitting on the couch watching Super Bowl commercials. Not the smartest move, Go Daddy, it might be time to retire the Super Bowl commercials.

Carl’s Jr., “Au Naturel”

Another typical tasteless commercial involving the Hardee’s corporation that features a naked girl showing off a big juicy burger is less than impressive. Also, that girl is no Kate Upton, give it up Carl's Jr.

And for the last and, by far the least,

Nationwide, “Make Safe Happen”

I am all for pulling at the heart strings, but there is a difference between trying to make us tear up a little and trying to ruin our lives. And yes, Nationwide, this one was a life ruiner.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
