A lot of people watch the Super Bowl. In fact, it's one of the most watched things every year. How many people actually watch it for the football, though? The commercials are where it's at. Companies use their best creators and advertisers to create the best and most interactive, funny or heartfelt messages that people talk about for weeks. They use the best because it costs the most money to advertise during the Super Bowl because a ton of people watch it! Here are the best and worst commercials of 2017!
Best:
Ford Go Further | Ford
This commercial really didn’t have much to do with Fords, but it was really cool to see that everyone fails. Everyone struggles in life. It was the perfect blend of funny and adorable.
The Internet Wants You | GoDaddy Big Game Commercial
Combined examples of everything Internet in the past few years. From the ice bucket challenge, the controversy over “The Dress” and Rick Rolling, this commercial shows everything popular on the internet.
Honda CR-V 2017 Big Game Commercial - Yearbooks
This is the definition of glow up for these stars and celebrities. They CGI-ed yearbook photos of tons of stars talking about their futures and encouraging people to follow their dreams.
Super Bowl Baby Legends | Who’s Next? | Football is Family
I guess this commercial is promoting the NFL? It’s basically babies dressed up as different stars in NFL history. The kids are so cute.
Mr. Clean | New Super Bowl Ad | Cleaner of Your Dreams
Who knew you could be so attracted to an animated character? The high energy feel of this commercial makes it very likable. Dancing is always a good idea.
2017 Kia Niro | “Hero’s Journey” Starring Melissa McCarthy
This commercial pokes fun at all the people that are trying to do everything to save the world. While this may be good in theory, but not one person can do it all. But Melissa McCarthy makes this commercial hilarious.
The Walking Dead Season 7 "Football Season Is Over" Teaser Promo
Very simple, and it caught you off guard. Perfect for people sick of Sunday nights being consumed by football.
We Accept| Airbnb
This commercial quickly started trending as a “smack in the face to our president” by saying that we all belong, no matter who we love or where we’re from. A very simple commercial, with a very important message.
Not all the commercials were good though. Here are some of the misses...
Worst:
Brady Everyday | Tom Brady | Intel
Just because he won the Super Bowl and MVP, again, doesn't mean he needs to star in a commercial. Not everything his does is epic.
#UnlimitedMoves with Justin Bieber | T-Mobile Commercial
This commercial had promise, and with the kid’s dancing and sassy comment, it looked like a winner. Its downfall was when Justin Bieber decided to comment on his own dancing…
Febreze 2017 Super Bowl Commercial | Halftime #BathroomBreak
I don’t think I’ve ever heard of the Halftime bathroom break and neither had anyone else. I guess it was timely placed into the commercial lineup, but not well executed.
Persil Super Bowl Commercial 2017 Ft. Bill Nye
Good job to an unknown laundry detergent company getting a Superbowl commercial slot. This had potential, but the acting was so poor. It wasn’t funny-bad either, just plain bad. Good try, but no.
Wix.com Big Game First Spot with Jason Statham & Gal Gadot
Throwing celebrities into them doesn’t create a good commercial. Why does Jason Statham belong in a Wix commercial?
Turkish Airlines - Morgan Freeman Super Bowl Commercial (2017)
Again, Morgan Freeman? Turkish Airlines isn’t a relevant company, how did they get him? How much did that cost?
