Buehrle>Wood Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Katy Perry killed it. But giving Missy Elliot 3 songs and Lenny Kravitz 10 seconds...Huh? Commercials were generally way too serious. Not sure what that was about. Liam Neeson one was the best though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigruss Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Perry was good, but what were those outfits? Way to hide her boobs for 90% of the time. Liam Neeson won the commercials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Yeah, Katy was good, but far too conservative. Which is funny, because the older adults at the super bowl party were commenting on how raunchy it was. lol, they have no idea what it COULD have been. Crazy old people. That dead kid commercial, yeeeesh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigHurt3515 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 The halftime sucked IMO.. What was Perry wearing on the way out? A bag of flamming hot cheetos? Then the whole beach balls, sharks, and trees with eyes and mouths was weird as well. Then you got Missy Elliott who hasn't been relevant in 10 years while the "and" act had about 15 seconds of time. Sexy outfits could have saved it a little bit but I thought it was horrible. I was confused with all the dark commercials they had this year. The Budweiser puppy one was good and I laughed at the Heisenberg commercial as well. I will have to watch some of them again to remember the other ones I liked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Did they really think anyone would care if Missy Elliott showed up? Has she been relevant in the last decade? I'm embarrassed to say I knew all the words to Katy's songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogan873 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I too thought Katy Perry did a good job. It certainly sounded like she was actually singing and not lip-synching. I'll giver her credit for that. The commercials weren't very good, but they haven't been for a few years now. The Snickers ad with Danny Trejo and Steve Buscemi was funny, but Liam (Li-am) Neeson was the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 This was by far the worst group of super bowl commercials I can remember. Even besides the dead kid, so many of the commercials were just sad and depressing. Most of the ones that were supposed to be funny, weren't. The two that stand out the next day are the snickers commerical with Steve Bushcemi and the Liam Nieson one. Everything else was blah.

"Can someone explain to us what the internet is?" That was good. I agree with SS2k5, worst set of commercials i've ever seen. Liam Neeson was ok, Cranston was ok. The truck commercial was the best since it trolled everyone into believing their cable was going out. Everything else, D-. Halftime show was a halftime show. Perry did ok. It always cracks me up how the NFL always relies on music from 10-20 years ago. Missy Elliot? Lenny Kravitz? Snooze. I thought Bruno Mars last year was 100 times better. I vote ac/dc next year.

Chisoxfn Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 It seemed like their was a whole theme to all the commercials regarding "family". I am going to presume NFL sent a message to advertisers they didn't want people pushing the envelope? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 With so many commercials trying to capitalize by creating an emotional resonance with the company now, it was bound to hit a tipping point. It was almost a relief when the super glue commercial was actually putting their product front and center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangeSox Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I think my favorite car commercial was the one with the race car driver. I think we can all really relate to what it's like to be a professional race car driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given recent NFL events, I could understand an avoidance of Terry Tate-style "violence as comedy" gags, but there have been countless funny Super Bowl commercials in the past that didn't rely on that type of humor. This year's crop was just godawful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So long and unnecessary. The moral of the story was abandon your son and family and once he's in high school, buy a Nissan and it'll all be ok. Wha?

StrangeSox Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I heard somewhere (deadspin maybe?) before the super bowl that either the NFL or NBC were pushing for less violent, less "frat house" GoDaddy-style commercials this year. They're trying to get more women to watch, so I think that's where all of the ridiculously sappy and overly emotional ads were coming from. At least for my wife, though, she was more annoyed at those attempts than swayed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
