Worst Super Bowl Commercial! EVER! RANT

[jellybeanscloset412]

First of all what's up with all the tear jerkers? This is a football game.

The worst commercial is the Nationwide commercial with child saying he missed out on life because he died. It is much more disturbing then I can convey. I'm not looking for the link because it is just too too sad. I just can't believe they would air something like that during what is supposed to be an entertaining football game!

I'm done, thanks

The ads this year are pretty pathetic. So many dull, same old, same old nothing original ones and so many seem to be trying way too hard.

I did like the Bud one and that Fiat one with the Viagra was a hoot.  But the rest are pretty much forgettable.  


And the game itself hasn't been too exciting either.  But after watching the excitement of the Michigan State vs Michigan basketball game earlier in the day any football game would be dull as dishwater.  


ETA: Ok, I will admit that the second half of the game was much better.  But I will say that Tom Brady is no Joe Montana.

I knew you were gonna say the Nationwide one. Yeah, I said to DH, "doesn't that just make you feel all warm & fuzzy abt buying insurance from Nationwide" LOL. Then we started LOAO. Sorry, it was just disturbing. How any exec's ok'd it, I do not understand. I found it more bizarre & disturbing than sad.

eta: the Bud one made me cry & I think every woman in the US now wants to marry the puppy's owner

Oh they just played the 2nd Katie Couric one. I think that first one in the car with Bryant Gumbel was hilarious. "Can you twerk Katie?", with an impish smile "maybe". She pulled that off really well!

It just pushed my buttons.The puppy / horse one was really cute too bad it was for Budweiser, would have been good dog food commercial.

Pete Rose was the only good ones. I'm with you Jellybean, these are the worst ads, its the THE SUPERBOWL GAME!!!

they're PSA's

accidental death
domestic violence
Dads (2 of those)

I can't remember the rest

I wasn't a fan of the 1/2 time show either, but I;m getting up there in years...so I thought Missy Elliot and Lenny Krvitz were good.

I have been watching the Kitten Bowl which just ended.

I always vote for the Budweiser commercial as the best because it has the Clydesdales. This one did sniffle me up a bit more than the others have.

apparently others thought the nationwide ad was lousy too:

But the Breaking Bad eSurance commercial was funny!

[Shirley U Geste]

The ads have way too much 'social relevance', they just don't fit with the SuperBowl.

Plus way too many ads for TV shows and movies.   

Very disappointed in the ads this year, and it's the main reason I watch.  Next year I will probably just watch the ads online and skip the game. 

Although I did really like the Loctite ad, very original and funny.

The ads get worse and worse every year. As in the majority SUCK and there are better commercials on during the year at normal times.

I personally have hated Nationwide since they started using Peyton Manning. I HATE him with a passion that burns intensly and just because of Peyton I would NEVER get insurance from them if they were the last insurance company on the face of the earth. So since they've already shown poor judgement by the use of him it doesn't surprise me with their douchey SB commercial.

I do not drink, I prefer a Belgian or a Percheron over a Clyde when it comes to drafts BUT I think Bud always has some good commercials. I DO love the Bud clydes.

The Loctite one made me laugh. It was just so dang dorky.

The viagra one with the car made me smile.

And I laughed at the one with Liam Neeson. I think he's sexy and what made that ad funny was how it was so out of character for Liam. I could not however tell you what the commercial was for.

Chevy wasted so much money and of course chevy sucks so I wanted to puke there.

I think it's getting suckier every year because the commercials aren't a competition any more. Remember when coke and pepsi used to go head to head with awesome commercials. Now they're just all lame assed yawn fests.

Thanks Harley! I can't stand the Peyton Manning commercials either. I forgot about them. I actually have to turn the ones when hums off.

1/2 time show was great,  The commercials not so much.


My new look in honor of Valentines Day, and Chinese New Year!

Love the Clydesdale & puppy one of course.

Hated the Nationwide.

I did like the domestic violence one-having been a victim of that (mental & verbal), women might find that very helpful.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — Anheuser-Busch InBev’s Budweiser’s “Lost Dog” commercial won 2015’s Super Bowl ad war, at least when judged by how many times the commercial is shared on social media.

The commercial, first released online on Jan. 28, had garnered 2.17 million shares across Facebook, Twitter and blogs as of Monday morning, according to social video marketing firm Unruly. The commercial gave Budweiser BUD, +0.93% the most-shared Super Bowl ad for the third straight year.

Bud Clydesdale commercial----2,168,530 views

Second place was Universal "Fast & Furious" with 640,038 views.

Best surprise? Walter White, hands down.

Harley, if you can imagine singing this, it may make you laugh. Sing to "Nationwide is on your side": DH was singing "Watching the Super Bowl From Home" to the same tune.

Totally agree Jellybeans, it was supposed to be a fun day, too much sadness in a few of them.

And WTF was with the toenail fungus commercial? I didn't want to eat my munchies anymore
