It’s probably no surprise that I watch the Super Bowl every year for the commercials. This year there were three ads that really stood out for me while I was waiting for Glee to start.
First, this Chrysler ad. I always get excited to hear some Eminem beats in the background and this commercial was really mysterious at first. It had the look and feel of a cool music video but the message wasn’t clear. Was this about football? America? Following your dreams? Turns out it was about a car. But it was also about the pride of Detroit. I’ll be honest. It gave my chills.
This second ad also gave me chills. We watched as little metal pieces of SOMETHING reassemble to form…the mighty Simon Cowell. It was for his new Fall show, The X Factor. Sure, it was over the top, but if this doesn’t get you excited for his new show then nothing will.
Finally, I had to include this Volkswagen ad because I’m a sucker for a cute kid.
