Doritos, 'Dew, And Dogs—The Winning Commercials From Super Bowl 50

Doritos, 'Dew, And Dogs—The Winning Commercials From Super Bowl 50
Fastcocreate

Confession time: I love watching football. It was no question that I would be watching this past weekend when the Carolina Panthers battled it out against the ultimate victors, the Denver Broncos. While I was excited to watch a good game, and even to watch Coldplay kill it at halftime, my favorite part of the Super Bowl is (and always has been) the commercials. Anyone with me on this?

For Super Bowl 50, companies spent $4-5 million dollars for a mere 30 seconds of air time. I don't know about you, but I was a little disappointed this year by the commercials throughout the four-hour program. In my mind, several ads just missed the mark, especially considering how much these businesses were paying for time on millions TVs. Even so, there were still a few redeemers that made me LOL.

Mountain Dew

I have absolutely no idea what a puppy-monkey-baby is, and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna have nightmares after seeing it. But honestly? The song's been stuck in my head since the commercial aired. Props to Mountain Dew for being catchy.


Doritos

Not gonna lie, this one also weirded me out a bit too. And it may also give me nightmares this next week. But it still made me laugh and was a hit among viewers nationwide.

T-Mobile

I may not have seen the actual event that sparked such controversy back in December, but I would have to live under a rock to not catch Steve Harvey's reference to his Miss Universe flub. I always appreciate when someone can laugh at their own mistakes, and Steve definitely played his off like a champ.


Honda

This one was my suite mate's favorite and made my top two. Talking animals are always a win in my book, but it's even better if they can sing. Not even mad that they're better at singing than me either.


And my absolute favorite commercial of the evening...

THE HEINZ WIENER DOGS.

Oh my gosh this video made me giggle uncontrollably for an embarrassing amount of time (just ask my suite mate, she caught it on Snapchat). I'm also currently accepting donations of dachshunds dressed like hot dogs. In case you tragically missed the best commercial of the night, you can watch the extra-long 60 second version here.

Shoutout to the strong few that made us all check Twitter to make sure everyone else thought they were hilarious too. You guys are the real MVPs of Super Bowl 50.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer.
