Skittles is a company with a long history of producing ads for the Super Bowl, but that does not necessarily mean that many of them are actually all that good. Last year’s Steven Tyler spot was one of the biggest disappointments of the year, and they are sometimes so off the wall that we wonder […]
Clearly, someone at Mobile Strike knew very well what they were getting themselves into when they hired Arnold Schwarzenegger yet again for their Super Bowl commercial this year, and then had him build a wall with the press of a button. There are probably some Donald Trump hate-tweets in his future! We’ll be honest in […]
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 […]
Within this article, we’ll certainly give a little bit of credit to the folks over at Febreze for coming up with a memorable ad for Super Bowl LI — we’re not sure if it is incredibly funny or incredibly disgusting, but one way or another, it’s memorable. 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, […]
