Super Bowl 50 Ads: The Highlight

The Super Bowl has become America's unofficial holiday, where almost everyone in all 50 states gather to eat finger foods, drink beer and watch the NFL's biggest game. It has become such a hot commodity and it is one of the most watched television on any national broadcast. Companies and industries all have turned their biggest marketing campaigns to Super Bowl Commercials, which to some are more entertaining than the Super Bowl, itself. This year was a good year for the ads, where we saw many different versions of the broadcasts; inspirational, comedic, depressing, heart-warming, and just complete bad ass. Here are the commercial highlights of Super Bowl 50.

I. The Funny

Doritos

Once again, Doritos did a great job at making the viewers smile and laugh. The Ultrasound commercial was too hysterical to even process that the wife went through an easily painful child birth. The Doritos dogs were just too cute.



Avocados From Mexico

If you think that a space museum about Earth where Aliens frequently visit to get a glimpse of us human beings isn't entertaining television, then you might as well be an... well an alien.


Bud Light

Amy Schumer and Seth Rogan make a very good one-two punch when delivering comedy and they don't shy away from it here. They're coming in with full power and swinging with a huge caucus. Watch out, Hillary!

Snickers

Who would think that putting Willem Dafoe in a dress and blowing steam up it would make such great comedy. It's fresh, it's surprising, it's actually Marilyn.


T-Mobile

T-Mobile knocked it out of the park this year with two sarcastic commercials, mocking both Steve Harvey and Drake. You got to see them for yourself.



Bai

It just doesn't make sense that a drink that is good for you, tastes amazing, as well. I guess their commercials are funny, too.

Shock Top

T.J. Miller sits at a bar alone, talking smack with a Shock Top beer tap. Both are sassy, both are equally hilarious.

II. The Tried to Be Funny

Amazon Echo

Had way too many plugs and what felt like forced jokes. Besides, Alec Baldwin, Dan Marino, Jason Schwartzman and Missy Elliot all wouldn't be at one place in one time #BaldwinBowl.


Skittles

Although, it is interesting what could come of Steven Tyler arguing to a painting of himself, the execution here was lacking a bit. Skittles came up with a rare loss in Super Bowl 50.


Apartments.com

Well it for sure wasn't funny, but it tried to be witty from the top and failed. Still with the subpar vocal performance from Jeff Goldbloom, we happen to approach George Washington hanging out with none other, Weezy cooking on a grill. Yawn!

III. The Celebrity Cameos

Many celebrities were a part of brand named commercials. Just like...

Odell Beckham Jr...

Janelle Monáe

So Much Ryan Reynolds...

Kevin Hart...

And A Walken Closet.


IV. The Musical

Honda

A bunch of sheep just trying to figure out where they are while singing to Queen's Somebody to Love. Long live Freddy Mercury.

NFL

Data suggests that nine months after a Super Bowl victory, winning cities get a rise in child birth. To find out more, you should probably watch the video.


V. The WTF Did I Just Watch???

Mountain Dew

#PuppyMonkeyBaby


Marmot

What they showed on television...

What the actual commercial is....

Heinz

This is just TOO ADORABLE!!!

VI. The Inspirational

Weather Tech

Jeep

#MERICA

VII. The No-Nonsense

Budweiser

Normally known for their heart warming narratives of the Budweiser Clydesdale Horses, the notorious beer company went towards the real route. Hellen Mirren can tell you what I mean...


Colgate

Simple, just turn off the faucet.


No More

In my honest opinion, this was the most powerful ad of Super Bowl 50.


VIII. The Bad Ass

Budweiser

Making a second appearance in this article are the best bread horses around and they finally show up. Except this time, they are meaner, sleeker and just a whole load of bad ass. This was the only commercial that made me want to go drink a Budweiser after watching.


Acura

What he said...

Axe

Any guy can tell you that this was a great commercial! Ladies better find a man that has the magic.

Mini

Well.... Damn! Well put, Mini! Well put!


IX. The Best Ad of Super Bowl 50

Audi

Not one commercial this year made anyone such emotions of happiness, sadness and proudness all at once. Making an old man's dream come true again, while tributing David Bowie in the background, stuck it home for most. A slow hand clap should be awarded to the brilliant minds behind this commercial. Well done Audi!


Extended Cut...

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.

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.
