Super Bowl XLVIII on February 3rd was the best game of the year for Seattle Seahawks fans and possibly the saddest game of the year for Denver Broncos fans.
Something most viewers can agree with, I’m sure, is that this year’s Super Bowl commercials were pretty great.
The commercial that had me teary was Microsoft’s “Empowering” commercial. The commercial is narrated by former NFL player Steve Gleason. I have been moved by Gleason’s story since I first learned about his diagnosis with ALS. The commercial shows how technology unites us, is a helping tool and as the commercial says, gives hope to the hopeless and voice to the voiceless. If you haven’t seen this commercial, do yourself a favor and check it out.
Both of Tim Tebow’s T-Mobile commercials were some of the funniest. They were such a brilliant way to play on the whole “no contract” theme. I love that Tebow talks about not having a contract, but then turns around and shows how he (supposedly) spent the NFL season. Some of the things Tebow does in those commercials are so audaciously funny, like bull riding in one and playing football on the moon in the other. I definitely laughed with each T-Mobile commercial shown.
The Hyundai commercial with the dad who has a “sixth sense” was awesome. It made you think about how dads always seem like the superheroes who save the day. By the end of the commercial the Hyundai Genesis saves the day when the young teen driver gets distracted. Hilarious.
Alright, the Doritos commercial where the kid rides his mastiff like a horse was super cute. Who hasn’t pretended to be a cowboy or cowgirl when they were little? Very adorable.
M&M’s commercial was like a little movie. The poor peanut M&M doesn’t even know what is going to happen to him. You have to appreciate the yellow M&M’s positive outlook.
