This year was a phenomenal year for super bowl. With all of the craziness that 2016 had, 2017 needed to start off with something to give the people of the U.S. hope again. Not only did the Patriots take the win against the Falcons (34-28), but the commercial game was anything but weak. So for all of you that were live streaming the game and weren’t able to watch the commercials live, here’s a list of the top 10 commercials from this years Super Bowl 2017.
1. Audi, #DriveProgressive
One of the most and only moving commercials of the night had to be by Audi with their #DriveProgress. The commercial takes you to a go kart race where the dialog of a father watching his daughter race plays in the background. He explains his fear of having to tell her the cruel realities of life growing up female, but in the end finds that she can stand alone against gender oppression. This commercial really calls to the inner feminist in me as it may to you.

2. Tide, "Gronk's Cleaners Discount" Starring Jeffrey Tambor and Rob Gronkowski
Gronk made an appearance in not only 1, but 2 commercials during the super bowl. In his Tide commercial that he co stars with Jeffrey Tambor, you can find the two of them in “Gronk’s Cleaners”. There’s a classic deadpan humor conversation between the two, and then we have our ending with Jeffrey Tambor being an unsatisfied customer. The humor in this commercial was very light hearted and I think that’s why it scores so high in the eye of America.

3. Skittles “Romance
The Skittles commercial took on a classic situation with a twist. The use of the scenario with the innovation of the different people who live in the house/enter the house/ hide in the house is clever and leave for a very entertaining 30 seconds.

4. Mr. Clean, "Cleaner of Your Dreams"
The classic Mr. Clean took on a sexy aspect this super bowl. You can find Mr. Clean picking up the house and mopping the floors with his companion. Throughout the commercial you see the woman falling more in love with Mr. Clean up until the very end… and you can watch that part for yourself. After all, who doesn’t love a man that can clean?

5. Kia Niro “Hero’s Journey” Starring Melissa McCarthy
Rounding out the best commercials for Super Bowl 2017 is Melissa McCarthy in her ad for Kia Niro. The commercial takes you through a few examples of Melissa trying to help the environment, but having everything turn horribly wrong. In the end you don’t have to be a huge environmental activist in order to help the planet, you can just buy the cool car Melissa is riding around in.
