Week 5 EOC: Best and Worst Superbowl Commercial


 
 
There are bad commercials and there are good commercials. What I have seen at the super bowls were ridiculous, one of the commercials that I thought were the worst were the bud light commercial that was advertising towards dog sitters. I thought that one wasn’t that good honestly, even though it meant you don’t have to sit around all day taking care of dogs, you can have fun doing it in a different way. The best commercial I thought was really funny was about the Doritos commercial where he taunts the dog and the dog actually gets the advantage and breaks the door down. In a way commercials have gone a lot more creative with how they advertise things, also where they place them, and the super bowl is perfect for something like that. The thing is it’s really expensive to put an advertisement out like that. Sometimes it’s really good to have some sort of marketing or advertising campaign otherwise the company will end up not making any profit at all. This is also a great opportunity for great public realists. There was a large number of statistics who watched these commercials and they said, “As millions of fans gather to watch the Super Bowl and the numerous commercials each year, often times memorable quotes arise from the game, the advertisements and the events leading up to the game.” http://www.mahalo.com/super-bowl-quotes/  This shows that most companies have great social responsibility and know how to utilize that to create something worthwhile and interesting to watch. In the end most of the commercials didn’t really capture my interest except for the Doritos and the dog sitter one, but who knows there could be more amazing ones next year. We just need to keep an eye out for it.
