If you are like me, you didn't watch the Super Bowl for the football. You watched it with high hopes of the infamous commercials in between the game, plus Katy Perry’s halftime performance. With much anticipation for the commercials, I was sadly disappointed. There were a few funny ads that had me going, but it seemed like the theme for this year was to see how sad the ad companies can make America feel. One example that should automatically pop into your head was Nationwide’s “Make Safe Happen.” If you don’t know what I am referring to, Nationwide used its Super Bowl time to make people forget about the game and, instead, set their attention on this little boy who died. Thank goodness there were a few commercials that put a smile on our faces. Even though there went many, here were some of the best Super Bowl 2015 Commercials.
1. Doritos, "Middle Seat."
You can always count on Doritos to keep the humor in its Super Bowl commercials. Everyone knows what it's like to protect an empty seat next to you. This guy took his guard dog position to a whole new level, until he saw the one, or who he thought was the one.
2. Budweiser, "Lost Dog."
I literally can't! Everyone who watched the game should have guessed that this commercial would make the list. It combines everything you would want to watch -- an adorable yellow lab puppy, the popular Clydesdales, the great rendition of "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)," adventure and a good looking farmer. Budweiser sure knows how to play with its audiences emotions.
3. Clash of Clans, "Revenge."
I am sad to say that I use to enjoy playing Clash of Clans, so this commercial made me laugh extra hard. It starts off with somewhat light, upbeat music. Then everything changes once the unknown player loses. The music gets dark, and the camera pans out to none other than Liam Neeson. Neeson gets his Taken voice on and begins his famous threatening, I know I wouldn't want to be BigBuffetBoy85.
4. Nationwide, "Invisible."
I didn't really know if I should feel bad for Mindy or be jealous. I mean she did get a lot of free stuff, and she almost got to kiss Matt Damon, which is worth being jealous over. At least Nationwide steered away from dead children for this commercial.
5. Mophie, "All-Powerless."
This commercial had me confused, at first. Fish were falling from the sky, dogs were walking their owners, so much confusion was happening in the small span of one minute. Then Mophie brings out the laughs at the end of the commercial. #Staypowerful
