When you think about the cost of the average Super Bowl commercial, it’s pretty remarkable that Ford decided to run an ad during the big game that is almost two minutes long. Sure, we know that they’ve got the money for it, but it’s still a long commercial, especially given that this is an ad […]
We’re going to have a performance from Luke Bryan shortly doing the National Anthem at Super Bowl LI, but before we get to him, Fox’s broadcast of the big game opted to give you another memorable performance: The famed Schuyler Sisters, who most people know from the musical “Hamilton.” The three ladies (Phillipa Soo, Renée Elise […]
If you’re going to be advertising a movie during the Super Bowl, odds are that you are going to have a mountain of confidence in how much money it’s going to air. Yet, at the same time, we’d argue that “Ghost in the Shell” (which hits theaters next month) is far from a guaranteed sure thing. […]
Well before the start of Super Bowl Weekend, we first heard the news that Luke Bryan was going to be performing “The Star-Spangled Banner” on Fox. The country-music superstar therefore had the huge challenge of trying to impress one of the hardest-to-impress audiences in all of the world. Just think for a moment or two […]
KFC is a rather odd duck when you look at everything that they do from an advertising point of view. After all, it seems like they have a new Colonel Sanders every couple of months, and also some other random product that they are promoting. We saw Nashville Hot Chicken at one point, and we’re […]

Sometimes, that is really all that you can […]
For those of you who enjoy your Super Bowl commercials when they are a little bit more of the meta persuasion, there’s probably a good bit to like with what Squarespace chose to do with their ad dollars this year, and with movie star John Malkovich to go along with it. It only makes some sense […]
TurboTax is one of those Super Bowl advertisers who you should be rather used to at this point in terms of them having ads that air during the big game. They almost always do so, and they’ve got one today that features one of the more iconic fairy-tale characters out there in Humpty Dumpty. Now, […]
It’s not much of a surprise that there would be no new episode of “Homeland” tonight. After all, just consider the competition! The Super Bowl is the most-watched event on American television over the course of the entire year. Therefore, there is no reason for Showtime to want to go against it. Now that we’ve […]
Super Bowl LI is going to be a night full of performances — maybe not as much as it is a night full of football or full of commercials, but there are a number of performances coming your way regardless. You’re going to have a good chance to see a number of different musical numbers, […]
