When it comes to the game, some people look forward to the football and others to the halftime show; but a surprising percentage look forward more to the commercials. Super Bowl 50 promised to have some great ads throughout the game. Here’s our list of the best of this year.
-
Avocados from Mexico
Based in a futuristic society, this commercial looked back and made fun of “human progress” of our time (including airplane seating, the “unsolvable” Rubik’s Cube and the blue and black/white and gold dress that broke the internet).
-
Apartments.com: “Movin’ On Up”
Any commercial that can combine George Washington and Lil Wayne is a winner in my book.
-
Heinz: “Wiener Stampede”
Maybe it’s just me, but there is something about hundreds of wiener dogs dressed as hot dogs running in slow motion down a hill.
-
Hyundai: “First Date”
Kevin Hart was hilarious as always as the overprotective dad following his daughter on a date.
-
Snickers: “Marilyn”
Willem Dafoe dressed as Marilyn Monroe over a subway grate…there really isn’t anything else to say.
-
Pantene: “Dad-Do”
A commercial with NFL players doing their daughters’ hair, topped off with DeAngelo Williams telling his daughter she is “strong and beautiful.” Perfection.
-
Audi: “Commander”
This one got me in the feels. A retired astronaut finds excitement and life again when he gets a ride in the Audi. It was very inspirational and super sweet!
