Super Bowl XLVIII In-Game Ads, Part 2: My Honorable Mentions

In part I, I posted my top five ads of Super Bowl XLVIII. Now in part II, the ads that deserve my honorable mention.

Remember the criteria (see part one of this post).

Now let's proceed.

Cows can make love too!

It's 'nice,' but please don't do this on the road.

What language do you speak?

Those damn Muppets hijacked my Highlander!

 

Puppy-Clydesdale love!

 



Touchdown celebration...at an empty Lambeau Field (the best of the two Coke ads).

So there you have it. Some of the best ads from this year's Super Bowl. Have at it!

Super Bowl XLVIII In Game Ads Part 1: My Top Five (Yogurt and Cars)

It is back! The fourth annual edition of the best Super Bowl advertisements (in the United States). Before proceeding, these ads must follow the following criteria:

• Must be in-game ads
• No movie trailers
• No ads previously that have ran for at least one month (I'm talking to you SONOS)
• No network promos (regardless if it's the network broadcasting the game)

This post will be broken up into two parts. This one covers the top five ads, and a following post covering the honorable mentions.

So here we go.

5. The Full House reunion.

4. Bob Dylan for 'America's Import.' Not as good as 'Halftime in America,' 'God Made a Farmer' or 'This is the Motor City and This is What We Do.'

3. Bear can't resist a Chobani.

2. The hybrid dog: the Doberhuahua. Featuring Sarah McLachlan.

And the best Super Bowl XLVIII ad is...

(drumroll please)

1. NESSUN DORMA!

So there you have it. In part two covers the honorable mentions from the in game ads.

Seahawks Win 'Weed Bowl' XLVIII

 

First it was the Metropolitans winning the Stanley Cup, then the Sonics and Storm won theirs. Now it's the Seahawks turn. And a linebacker is MVP for the third time in game history. In a game where it is dubbed the 'weed bowl' because Colorado and Washington have already legalized cannabis.

 

Mariners and Sounders, where's yours? 

Your Micro Super Bowl XLVIII Preview.

A subtle west coast flavor is the theme for the NFL championship game on Sunday.

Despite possible changes to the game, such as shifting to another day to avoid snowstorms (which would be a very pussy move), the game will be played as scheduled: on Sunday night.

The Seahawks--featuring their invisible '12th Man' (the real '12th Man' is in College Station, Texas)--are playing in just their second Super Bowl in franchise history (lost in Super Bowl XL), while the Broncos are making their first Super Bowl trip since XXXIII, where they defeated the Falcons at Joe Robbie Stadium.

Come to think about it...weren't they used to both play in the same division before 2001?

The rivalry continues on Sunday, live on Fox. The commercials should be just as good as the game.

Singing the Star Spangled Banner at Super Bowl XLVIII is...

It is not Jim Cornelison, but still a good choice. Sure beats mainstream pop trash.

Just like the London NFL games where Katherine Jenkins has sang both God Save the Queen and Star Spangled Banner. Excellent choice as well.
