We all know that the main reason we turned the channel to Super Bowl LII this weekend was to watch the commercials (oh, and that awe-inspiring performance by JT). Here are the 10 most notable commercials and what I thought of them.
1) Weirdest Commercial
This TurboTax commercial will make your kids check twice under their beds. *Goes to check under bed.*
2) Funniest Commercial
As a person who is slightly addicted to the small chocolate candy M&Ms, I had a good laugh while watching this one.
3) Saddest Commercial
Let’s start the water works. Verizon’s All Our Thanks video honors the first responders of Hurricane Harvey. Watch the video here.
4) Best Beer Commercial
The Bud Knight. Every time they said “Dilly Dilly,” I said “Philly Philly.” I was obviously rooting for the Eagles.
5) Best Car Commercial
This commercial would have been funnier if the Minnesota Vikings were in the Super Bowl LII.
6) Oh, A Movie That’s Coming Out that I MUST go see? Don’t mind if I do.
Are you really a Star Wars fan if you aren’t excited for this movie?
7) Honorable Mention (We’ll get them next year, Giants).
Eli and Odell’s dance. Perfect beyond words.
8) Second Honorable Mention
Do you want to know how to make me cry? This is how you make me cry. Lauren Woolstencraft, Paralympic gold medalist, made an appearance in the aired commercial from Toyota.
9) Overall, My Favorite Commercial
Mikaela Shiffrin made an appearance in the Winter Olympics commercials. One phrase stuck with her throughout the commercial; “Always be faster than the boys.”
10) My Favorite Commercial from the Puppy Bowl That Needs Recognition
Who DIDN’T watch the puppy bowl? I was in tears at the end because they all got adopted! The 2018 Subaru Crosstrek Commercial stole my heart, as Butch the dog learned to accept his mommy’s new boyfriend. My mom made the comment that this was going to be me and my dog- if I actually get a boyfriend. Thanks, Mom.
