There were so many, probably even the majority, of ads that lacked creativity and didn't get any message across. Several tried so hard that they created a mess. Some were good. I honestly wonder who runs/hires people in marketing at some of these companies. It's like they were given 10 minutes to come up with these ideas, they were that bad. Never got it, same goes for most standard (non SB) commercials. So many are just awful. Yea, you'd think they have test groups and all, but these places have so much misplaced effort its unreal. Just bad.

I didnt watch the super bowl so i cant comment on the standard, if its anything like the uk very few are any good.
Clearly it got people searching during the super bowl though, but i guess what ever you put on would get results from the sheer numbers.

This year's Super Bowl commercials were probably the worst I've EVER seen...extremely disappointed minus some of those Doritos commercials and the E-Trade baby one of course, haha.

This has to be the absolute best Superbowl ad I've ever seen. I love the guy sitting down on the ice. His reaction is just priceless. Such a feel good ad - it's brilliant.

Posting since I'm sure the Americans didn't see this

This one was my favorite, minus the car.

Also my favorite the Fiat. Thought it was one of the best ones in a long time actually.

That budweiser one is awesome.

They are getting a big push over here in the Uk at the moment. Obviously that advert wouldn't land as well over here but something similar would go down a treat. Currently i cant think of one good advert being shown in the UK
