Oprah Narrates Jeep's 2013 Super Bowl Commercial

Sarah Shahzad — Tue, 05 Feb 2013 21:15:38 +0000

We knew to prepare for some emotional manipulation when this 2013 Super Bowl Jeep ad started with a quote from Oprah. Unlike many other advertisers, who prepared the ground for their commercials with teasers and campaigns, Chrysler was very closed-mouthed about their Super Bowl production. After previous offerings, this one might fall a bit flat.

Sarah Shahzad — Tue, 05 Feb 2013 20:15:25 +0000

Sarah Shahzad — Tue, 05 Feb 2013 18:30:42 +0000

The Lincoln Motor Company’s new car is called the “Phoenix” so there is, of course, a requisite shot of the vehicle engulfed in flame. So far, it goes as one would expect, but other than that, there is a free-associative quality to the Super Bowl commercial that we find delightful, even in its incomprehensibility. The [...]

Kia Debuts 'HotBots' For Their 2013 Super Bowl Commercial

Sarah Shahzad — Tue, 05 Feb 2013 17:58:22 +0000

Kia’s Super Bowl 2013 commercial features attractive robotic attendants who turn out to be not as pleasant as they look. That said, we should mention that we find their cutaway skin a little unsettling — who thought exposed metal joints would be charming? Admittedly, the customer examining the car is pretty annoying, with his squeaking [...]

Sarah Shahzad — Mon, 04 Feb 2013 21:44:41 +0000

Skechers’ 2013 Super Bowl commercial for the GoRun 2 running shoes features an adrenalin rush-inducing chase: a gazelle flees from a cheetah, who in turn is run down by a man wearing Skechers’ magic footwear.

Old Spice continued their tradition of featuring over-the-top pitchman in their 2013 Super Bowl commercial. Their latest is Wolfthorn.

Sarah Shahzad — Mon, 04 Feb 2013 20:30:26 +0000

Mio Fit’s Super Bowl commercial features Tracy Morgan advocating the American knack for change, a move that effectively makes the whole situation absurd. Also, we find Tracy to be an interesting choice–since it is in fact a “sports” drink, maybe they should’ve made some kind of nod towards athleticism other than stuffing the former Tracy [...]

GoPro Baby Does Dubstep in Awesome Super Bowl 2013 Commercial

Emerald Catron — Mon, 04 Feb 2013 18:00:03 +0000

GoPro saved money to pay for their Super Bowl airtime by using one of their own cameras to film their commercial. Well, that's the theory we have anyway. We don't know that for certain. It doesn't really matter, anyway. The only thing that matters is look at the chubby cheeks on this baby! Now we want to buy a camera so we can affix it to other people's heads. Good work, GoPro -- your commercial was a success.

Emerald Catron — Mon, 04 Feb 2013 16:17:11 +0000

Will Ferrell filmed an ad for Old Milwaukee that aired during the Super Bowl last night. But you probably didn’t see it.

Or it could be [...]

Tom Blunt — Mon, 04 Feb 2013 03:56:19 +0000

It will take a lot to top all five previous entries in the ‘Fast and the Furious’ franchise, but based on what we saw tonight, six could be the magic number. It’s hard to imagine a movie in which every special effects sequence is as big as the climax from any typical action movie. However, [...]

Calvin Klein was courteous enough to sneak a little something for the ladies into their commercial for the 2013 Super Bowl. Actually, that’s pretty much all this commercial is.

See M&M's Take on a Meatloaf Classic in Super Bowl 2013 Commercial

Emerald Catron — Mon, 04 Feb 2013 01:37:21 +0000

Red makes a lot of good points in the M&M’s commercial for Super Bowl 2013. We think it’s perfectly fair to not let somebody eat you just because you love them. It’s also absolutely fine to not shove yourself into a pinata or an oven. It’s totally cool if you don’t want to be attacked [...]

Oreo's Super Bowl 2013 commercial features a "whisper fight" in a library that breaks out over whether the cream or the cookie is the best part of the glorious whole that is the Oreo.
