Super Bowl Commercial

 
 
Super Bowl XLVII was just like another super bowl in the past, there were many loud cheering fans either in the stand on at home watching the game on a big screen television, other football fans tuning in to watch the game and gather with friends for a good time. There were about ninety Super Bowl commercials made for this year’s Super Bowl, each commercial cost all over three million dollars to make and produce each commercial. Not every Super Bowl Commercial is the same. The change every year and every decade.  There are so many commercial every year it is hard to pick one out. There are many Super Bowl commercial’s that stick out in my mind but if I had to pick one that I did like and one that I did not like would be easy to do.
The one commercial that stuck out to me that I did not like was the Wonderful Pistachio with PSY the singer of the song “Gangnam Style” I really did not like this commercial because I think that the song “Gangnam Style” is extremely over played  and I also personally do not like this song at all mainly because it is sung in a different language and I do not understand what the lyrics’ are saying. Also I have seen many advertisements for the Wonderful Pistachio. I have not liked any of them commercial’s for the pistachios’ that I have seen. They are all way to glamourized and over exaggerated just for a bag of pistachios.
The one Super Bowl commercial that I really did like and that stuck out a lot out me was the Budweiser commercial The Clydesdales named "Brotherhood" I really liked this commercial not because it was and advertisement for alcohol or beer, I liked it because it was different from all the other Budweiser commercials I’ve seen before. The main purpose of this advertisement wasn’t just to promote Budweiser it was also based on a bond between a man and his horse. The commercial began when the horse was new born and their bond soon began. Soon he had to give the horse away and it was to the Budweiser Clydesdales. Three years later he saw and add in the newspaper for the Budweiser Clydesdales, he went to the parade and at the end of it his horse saw him walking away and ran to him and they were reconnected. I really like this commercial because every time I go home for a weekend from school my cat gets every excited to see me again. This commercial show a true bond between a man and his horse, while also adverting for a large beer company.

  1. Colleen,
    I agree with you about both of your points. I don’t think there is really anything special about the bag of Wonderful Pistachio’s. I don't think pistachios are very exciting and I don’t think any commercial would make me want to buy them. Also, I was contemplating whether or not I was going to write about the Budweiser commercial. That was definitely one of my favorites. The commercial wasn’t a long and dragged out story, it was straight to the point. I felt interested in this commercial the whole time while I watched it. I love Clydesdales and this commercial was a very heartwarming commercial. The ending when the horse remembered the guy who raised him was adorable. I also liked that fact that it was different. The vibe was different; one that you wouldn’t picture being a beer commercial. I liked the fact that they utilized the mascot of Budweiser as well.
