5 Super Bowl Commericals To Remember

It shouldn't come as a shock that the average commercial during this year's monumental 50th Super Bowl cost $5,000,000 per 30 seconds. Well today I'm going to pin point which ten stuck out to me for good and bad reasons. This is NOT a "Top Ten" or a "My Favorites". This is simply a list of the most memorable commercials and my interpretation of whether or not they did their job of advertising to the masses.

At the end you will see my friends who commented their favorites. All the commercials will be available to watch on this article as well. So read, watch and determine for yourself whether or not they advertiser did their job. To figure this out you have to ask yourself:

WOULD I [as a consumer] BUY THIS?

#PUPPYMONKEYBABY


Comments:
Without a doubt the most disturbing commercial this year, maybe even in a long time. However, did you remember it? I sure did. This was one of many commercials leaked on the internet before the big game, so I knew what to look for. I thought it was not only funny, but catchy. Three words. Three things that are cute. Might as well put them all together. Hence the idea: "Three Awesome Things Combined".

Do I want to buy it?
Definitely want to try it, but I don't want to buy it just yet.


SUPER BOWL BABIES CHOIR



Comments:

This was probably the feel-good commercial of the entire Super Bowl. The NFL produced a "cute" little promo on how football makes families, with the statistic that birth rates rise in winning cities 9 months after the big game. I guess we shall see what Denver looks like in November 2016.

Do I want to buy it?
Wait, did they sell anything? Yes they did. They sold football. Yes this makes me see how other people view football and it should get you thinking about how this "so-called sport" is American culture and pride. We surround it in military, advertisements and lots of money. You cannot be an American without understanding that football (the NFL to be more specific) controls the biggest night in the country. Yes, I do buy what the NFL is selling.


THE PORTRAIT


Comments:

First of all, I love Steven Tyler. Aerosmith is one of my favorite bands of all time. However, I am not a fan of Skittles. The commercial did its job though. It gave me the music that I love from Tyler and the comedy of "respect the rainbow" never gets old. I enjoyed this commercial because it had an idea and then for a comedic aspect made a U-turn (the portrait exploding).

Do I want to buy it?

No, I do not like Skittles.




STEVE HARVEY AND HIS BALLS



Comments:
Definitely one of the funniest ones. If you don't get the joke, go watch the crowning of the 2015 Miss Universe and move out of the rock you have been living under. As a T-Mobile customer, I can see the puniness in picking on Verizon's Big Ball/Little Ball representation of data. T-Mobile hit the jackpot on this commercial, I just hope they used CGI because that's a big mess to clean up.

Do I want to buy it?

Kind of already a customer...



DORITO'S ULTRASOUND



Comments:
Dorito's is at it again. This time instead of someone outsmarting someone else for a bag of delicious Dorito's, we go to why we like them in the first place. "It makes people jealous." The baby wants it, which means it's probably a boy, but the commercial speaks to more than just the comedy. The fact that the father is easily distracted tells us that that is how the advertisers view their male customers. The doctor and the pregnant mother are both unimpressed with the father and not amused by the baby's desire for the Dorito. All in the all the commercial spoke about how most of the commercials this year were geared to amusing men than women.


Do I want to buy it?

Of course!

Here are the pictures I promised:

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.
