Greatest Super Bowl Commercials
For people who are not sports fans, the Super Bowl is not about winning or losing. It's not about which player is named MVP and the team head up the Lombardi trophy at the end of the fourth quarter. It is not the coach is submerged in a tub of Gatorade. It is one thing and one thing only: the commercials. Without advertising, television broadcast the Super Bowl, as may well be off, or worse, turned a Lifetime.
Super Bowl Commercials are expensive to air a thirty second spot in the game last year, cost 2.5 million euros. This makes them great: advertisers do not want to waste their money so they burn the midnight oil over the flow of more creative juices, and more Thai food for all outdated offices. Some of these advertisers have ads with brilliant success, others leave us scratching their heads and asking, "Really?" The good, the bad and the ugly all find a way into our television on Super Bowl Sunday. The following is a list of five of the best ads produced in recent years.
Apple "1984": a commercial that aired in, well, 1984, this Apple commercial is still considered one of the greats of all time. A parody of George Orwell's novel about a man living in a world marked by totalitarianism, this ad was directed by Ridley Scott "Blade Runner fame." IBM plays the role of "Big Brother" – a euphemism for "dictatorship" in Orwell's novel – and it appears in the ad, like a giant television screen to an audience that rattles aircraft emotion. From nowhere, a hip woman who enters the room and launches its new Macintosh on the screen, destroying in the process. The voiceover says: "On 24 January, Apple Computer will introduce Macintosh, and you'll see why 1984 will not be like 1984."
McDonald's "Showdown": In 1993, this commercial is a game of "call his team of horses" between two basketball greats: Michael Jordan and Larry Bird. The winner was none other than a Big Mac Every shot was followed by an even more spectacular shot, preceded by the slogan, "Nothing but net." Since players struggled, hitting shots out of the rafters, and out of the soil, it became clear that there is no winner will be decided. The commercial ends with Jordan and Bird sitting outside on top of a building as Jordan says Bird, "Out of the motorway over the river, facing the fence, through the window in the wall, Nothing but net."
Budweiser "Clydesdales Play Ball": In 1996, the Clydesdales commercial shown that, despite popular belief, can actually play football. During a pickup game snowy, two men look like a Clydesdales team scores a field goal against another. In 2004, Budweiser updated the ad parody video recording of the NFL. This announcement appears as an arbiter, a zebra, a review of a play under the tent ref.
Nissan Maxima "Pigeon": America loves to talk with the announcements of the pigeons, especially when doves sound like Cliff Clavin from "Cheers". In this 1997 AD, three pigeons to see a new peak emerging from a car wash. Immediately sense it is their duty, well, doodie on the windscreen of the car. As the subject of "Top Gun" plays in the background, two pigeons miss their target and let their leader, Cliff Clavin esqe bird, to fly down in the Maxima. Despite his confidence, which only ends up bumping heads with a garage door closing.
Budweiser "Cedric": According to the theory that Budweiser usually has some of the best ads of Super Bowl 2001 was a year that did not disappoint. This spot is pretty simple: Cedric the Entertainer is a romance of a handsome woman.He goes to the refrigerator to get two Bud Lights and proceeds to make a "happy dance", showing their joy and unknowingly shaking the bottles in the process. Your date quickly comes to an unpleasant end when the Bud Light Cedric opens, only to realize all your date is very annoying.
