Super Bowl Sunday. The one day when most people tune into tv just to watch commercials. The biggest day in American football has turned into the biggest day in the world of advertising at least for creativity and hype. The commercials that run during the Super Bowl XLIX (that’s 49) cost around $4.5 million per 30 second spots. Many advertisers target the Super Bowl because of the hype that surrounds the big game. Now people take to twitter and Facebook to rate, judge and comment on their favorites as they happen.
So which Super Bowl ads were a hit? The game may have been better than the commercials for the first time in recent memory but here’s our top five best Super Bowl commercials.
Hardbody Top 5 Best Super Bowl Commercials of 2015
5. Clash of Clans: Revenge (Official TV Commercial)
Actor Liam Neeson plays the part well and anyone who has been to a coffee shop will relate to their name being mispronounced. It’s way more creative than some other approaches video games have gone.
4. Official 2015 Dodge Super Bowl Commercial | Wisdom | #DodgeWisdom
This spot by Dodge features elderly in a classy way. The spot gets better and better as it progresses so watch until the end.
“You call it attitude, we call it character. Sometimes in order to get the most out of life you need to keep your eyes open and your mouth shut. So live fast, don’t bitch and most importantly never, ever forget where you came from.” via Youtube.
3. SNICKERS® – “The Brady Bunchâ€
You’re not yourself when you’re hungry. Who can’t relate to that? HA! Especially those of you in contest prep mode. If you didn’t watch the Brady Bunch growing up it may not be as funny to those who did but it’s still gets a thumbs up in our book.
2. Always #LikeAGirl – Super Bowl XLIX
ALWAYS reintroduces the “LIKE A GIRL” campaign after it was widely successful in 2014. The commercial has received over 54 million views since it went live on Youtube. We’d put this one first but since it was a remake of the previous commercial we had to put it in the runner-up spot.
“Take a stand. Join our movement. Together, let’s make #LikeAGirl mean amazing things.” via Youtube.
1. 2015 Budweiser Super Bowl Commercial “Lost Dog†| Budweiser #BestBuds
Who doesn’t love a a spot with animals, especially dogs and horses? The answer is everyone. Ok well maybe not everyone but millions of people saw the spot before it aired on the big game and were fans. Will it make you buy Budweiser? Probably not but it is a feel good spot that you’ll want to watch more than once.
Which was your favorite commercial from the 2015 Super bowl? Join the conversation on twitter and/or Facebook and let us know.
Many people have cited the FIAT commercial as their favorite but really? It’s a total boner concept (lame pun intended) that has been played out but hey maybe it resonates for reasons we don’t need to know about.
Saturday Night Live makes fun of the big game and women’s role in it. The Super Bowl Activity Pack for Women is ridiculously funny because we know it would never happen.
