It’s the day after the Super Bowl and I’m legit still trying to process the show. The entire evening of entertainment? All the ads, the movie trailers and yeah, the halftime show. Wow. I’d mention the football of it all, but frankly I didn’t care about that part. I just wanted to see a good game. HA! Oof. Anyway, here’s my breakdown of Super Bowl 59. What was that? It’s a look at the best and worst moments from the show.
This won’t be a moment-by-moment recap. That’s not how memories are built. You need to ask yourself, ‘what do you remember’? What are the standout moments? Good or bad. Because that’s all that matters. What will people actually remember? That’s how branding works.
Right out of the gate I want to say something positive. That Doritos ad was pretty great. Might have been the ad of the night in my book. Fun. Funny. And it made like Doritos more.
I’ll post more ad stuff later on. But next up on the list? The halftime show. Nope. Didn’t care for it. Call me old. Call me what you will but that shit sucked. In a doomsday scenario a viewer could at least hope to tap a foot. Enjoy the beat? Nope. That was a Squid Game referencing, Sam Jackson as an angry uncle Sam, Red, White and Blue shit show. On the upside? I could have done that. I strongly believe I could have done as well as, if not better than Kendrick what his name.
But I’m sure the crowd LOVED it… oops.
Next up? The Harrison Ford Jeep commercial. Let’s just say I didn’t believe this thing for a second. This felt so tactical in its ‘America is great blah, blah’ I frankly found it off putting. Jeep was trying way too hard on this one. Harrison Ford was able to semi salvage it with his hilarious delivery of the ‘And my name is Ford’ line. That was money well spent. Good call by Jeep on throwing Harrison a mountain of money. Everything else felt forced and awkward. 32 million? Hope Harrison got 30 Mill. Just saying
God help me, I really dug the Thunderbolts trailer. Yup. I’m a glutton for Marvel punishment at this point. It’s a good edit on the Trailer.
The NFL Flag Football commercial was probably the best insight as to what’s going on behind the scenes. The woke is still there. They’ll just wrap it up in some comedy and keep pushing forward with the woke bs, hoping you won’t notice too much.
Lastly, you all can stop booing Taylor Swift. There’s no upside to booing this girl. She’s popular. You don’t like the music? Fine. But by booing her so much, you make people like me rush to her defense. I felt bad for her. I got no skin in the Taylor Swift game. Now I feel bad for her! Come on! I’m always going to root for the underdog. That’s the American way! And speaking of Underdogs, congrats Eagles. You all had a great game.
PS. the Seal commercial was disturbing. Don’t even know what that was an ad for, but don’t do that again. That was nightmare fuel.
The Eagles are infamous for booing everybody but their team. They have their own jail at their stadium. They throw batteries at the opposing team. Taylor got booed because she is part of the Chiefs Kingdom and they hate the Chiefs, especially Travis Kelce! lol
The halftime show was a shit show, you are correct. While he may be a great artist, his music style is not a fit for a large platform production. I did not understand one word or hear one song that I can recall.
I cannot recall even one commercial other than the Shane Gillis Bud Light–Bud reverted to Bro commercials. Desperate.
I love your humor–I watch you on Gutfeld! and you are hilarious!
Dig it. Philly has quite the rep. LOL!
Thanks for being here!
