Top 5 Super Bowl Commercials
Super Bowl XLVI is over. Eli Manning finally proved himself Eli-te and Tom Terrific didn’t quite live up to his nickname. Get over it New England, New York gets to hoist another banner and the Hoodie has once again proven fallible. You know what’s infallible? Commercials featuring cute dogs, Jerry Seinfeld flying around Manhattan on zip lines and Clint Eastwood narrating anything. They may not have made the game day roster, but they earned honors as part of our Top 5 Super Bowl Commercials.
The Dog Strikes Back
A Bark Side teaser trailer let fans know that another Star Wars-themed ad was coming, and Volkswagen’s follow-up to “The Force” didn’t disappoint. Volkswagen has once again achieved the perfect balance of pop culture and cute.
Matthew Broderick’s Day Off
Honda’s Ferris Bueller-inspired commercial delivered a surprisingly thorough adaptation of the 1986 hit film. Movie fans were either delighted to see a rehashed version or horrified by the substitutions and the fact that it wasn’t shot in Chicago.
Halftime in America
Beautifully written and delivered with the grit that only Clint Eastwood can apply, Chrysler went big in its follow-up to “Imported From Detroit.”
Rescue Dog
Combine a cute dog with a strong concept and you get a memorable Super Bowl spot. It’s a simple yet effective equation that Bud Light executed perfectly.
Transactions
Jerry Seinfeld shines as a buyer intent on getting the first model of the new Acura, resorting to increasingly inventive negotiation tactics.
