Like most people, I find the ads to be half the fun of the Super Bowl. For a blog that’s purely about commercials, I guess the Super Bowl is like the Super Bowl of commercials. Um, yeah I think that makes sense. Best move on quickly before too much time can spent thinking it through.
All that matters really is that we’ll be looking at three ads that are airing tomorrow. If you’d rather be surprised, and enjoy it in the moment, don’t blame you, you may be excused from the class. I only let myself view 3, cause I want the pleasure myself. For the rest lets see those ads.
Harry Potter Theme Park:
Wow, that’s pretty bad. They manage to make kids flying around on broomsticks in long red robes look geeky and stupid and… never mind. Actually I loved Harry Potter and probably wouldn’t mind seeing the attraction. The commercial though is just hyper-lame. Something about the feel of it just screams 1992. They assume they can get away with it because it’s Harry Potter (the first time I typed this sentence I accidentally wrote ‘Harry Pooter’ Now that would make for a different story) but that’s being lazy and disrespectful to us the viewing audience.
There must be better.
This isn’t the ad that’s going to be playing as I understand it. This is just a teaser ad. Tomorrow we shall see where Bridgestone is going with this. I think this could be a good thing. Bridgestone in the past has put out some very stylish commercials. They weren’t really geared toward humor, but they had an undeniable flair. I’m on the optimistic side for this. Plus the little guy looks funny.
It’s football though. You can’t have football without Favre.
Favre for Hyundai:
You’d think I’d get tired of the Favre retirement jokes, but I just don’t. This is head shoulders above the Sears commercials. When I first heard of the ads I was skeptical because I’ve sort have thought that Hyundai is one sneaky monkey the way they’ve targeted people for the past couple years. The idea that they would now attack at the heart of America through its favorite pastimes, bothered me. But here it is, and it’s hysterical. I’m still not going to buy a Hyundai, but they have funny commercials.
Evidently Hyundai means “modernity” in Korean. Ironic don’t you think that they’re narrated by Jeff Bridges who is going to be starring in Tron 2, in effect just bringing the old back to the front. Not to mention that they’re whole point is about their lasting commitment by showing a man that most pundits originally labeled as antiquated before this last season started.
