The worst ones were ETrade baby (as always), Dodge’s Paul Harvey bullshit, GoDaddy, and some Kia ad that I can’t even remember twelve hours later. Overall it was a very lame year. I did like the Budweiser Clydesdale one, as well as the ones with good songs (Stevie Wonder’s “Superstition” in the Bud Light ads and “Sympathy for the Devil” in the Mercedes one). ---

Lame commercials this year. I didn’t see the Clydesdale one. Only Budweiser ads I saw were the Black Crown ones. ---

I forgot to mention the Taco Bell Old People acting like 20 somethings was funny too. ---

> [@Kimballkid](#): > > Do you live in a city? This is a very ignorant statement. Agreed. Roughly one out of five guys I went to high school with are exactly those sort of farmers. ---

The people who conceived the CokeChase ad forgot to write an ending. Man, how anticlimactic. I think the best commercial of the night was the old people going to Taco Bell. ---

I loved the Oreo fight in the library. The cops at the end with the megaphone was hilarious! The farm ad was terrible and inaccurate and stupid. That it was being used to sell trucks is so bad… And the Clydesdales ads are always dumb to me. Horses are just giant manure bags, and I kept waiting for the Chicago PD to gun down the horse as it rampages out of control through the Loop. I would have liked it much better that way. 🙂 ---

> [@Vlad\_Igor](#): > > …and when we needed to be bludgeoned with a sledgehammer, Chrysler made a farmer commercial. Oh yes, horrible ad. :mad: Sympathy for the Devil car ad, very nice, best ad.🆒 Wishes was funny. Clydesdale is most heartwarming. ---

Has anyone been compelled to buy whatever go daddy sells after watching I]any\* go daddy commercial? Even the nude Danika Patrick commercial. They aren’t clever at all. ---

I dunno. Would anyone really have known about godaddy (I mean how famous are other web hosting sites) without those commercials? It seems like people remember the name of the company, which is far more than a lot of other ads and likely the point of SuperBowl ads. ---

> [@Kimballkid](#): > > Do you live in a city? This is a very ignorant statement. I can’t find info on the percentage of Framers who own their land (I have read that this number is low but can’t find a specific cite) but [here](http://www.epa.gov/oecaagct/ag101/demographics.html) is data from what I assume is a few years ago (based on the fact that gives our population as 285,000,000) that indicates there were about 960,000 people in the entire country that call themselves a Farmer. ---

The Samsung Galaxy ad with Rogan, Rudd, Odenkirk and the LeBron cameo was funny. The Oreo commercial was the best. Simple concept, stuck to the brand message and delivered a laugh. > [@ISiddiqui](#): > > I dunno. Would anyone really have known about godaddy (I mean how famous are other web hosting sites) without those commercials? It seems like people remember the name of the company, which is far more than a lot of other ads and likely the point of SuperBowl ads. They maybe differentiated themselves from other cut rate hosting sites. But it feels like they are courting the porn industry with those ads. ---

No one else mentioned the Axe commercial? It’s the first Axe ad I’ve ever seen that I thought was actually funny. And I thought that was Penny as the car genie, but I wasn’t sure. ---

As somebody who’s worked on ranches and farms, and is more than acquainted with the life such work entails, my eyes just about rolled at of my skull when I watched the Dodge commercial. What a worthless, pandering piece of tripe. ---
