Overall, I thought that this year’s Super Bowl commercials were lame. There were a few that elicited a “that was cool” reaction or really made me laugh, but for the most part I found them to be pretty stupid. The  MacGruber Pepsi commercial definitely takes the gold for the dumbest ad. But I’ll talk about the ones that stood out:

My favorite was the Coca-Cola Heist commercial. Instead of trying to shove their brand in your face or going for cheap laughs, the Coke people made an animation which was interesting to watch for the entire minute. I thought that it was a great way to advertise their brand – who can resist a soda that’s so good that a bunch of happy little critters would team up to steal it from a human. And, in times like these, the commercial manages to convey this happy feeling very well. Props to the Coca-Cola marketing department for a job well done. Here is the commercial:

As far as funny ads, I found that the Doritos commercials were the only ones worth watching. I don’t think there’s much to explain, so enjoy:

P.S. Dear Coca-Cola and Doritos, you’re welcome for the free publicity.
