Super Bowl Commercials: CBS Viewers Pick Their Favorites
This year's Super Bowl commercials went all out, and social media is already helping give some [...]
'The Falcon and The Winter Solider' Trailer
It is no surprise that fans gravitated straight towards a trailer for a long-anticipated TV show, rather than an advertisement for a product or service. The trailer for Disney+'s latest entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe was a hit this weekend, making fans emotional over the events of Avengers: Endgame all over again.
prevnextTide - The Jason Alexander Hoodie
On the other end of the spectrum, the apparent absurdity of Tide's "Jason Alexander Hoodie" campaign stuck in many viewers' minds well into Monday morning. The commercial's obvious meme-ability did nothing to dissuade people from talking about it.
prevnextParamount+ Expedition
The culmination of ViacomCBS' ongoing campaign to advertise its upcoming streaming service, Paramount+ did not disappoint. The ad let America know where to catch all of its favorite CBS, MTV, BET, Comedy Central and Nickelodeon content starting next month. The musical addition of SpongeBob SquarePants left no doubt that there would be some binge-worthy content there waiting for them.
prevnextReddit's flippant five-second advertisement was easy to miss, but it perfectly matched the tone of the website's activity in recent weeks. If anyone was on the fence about signing up for the forum site, this ad could easily have pushed them over the edge.
prevnextUber Eats - Wayne's World
Reboots and revivals are still hitting hard these days, as evidenced in Uber Eats' Super Bowl ad featuring Mike Myers and Dana Carvey in character as Wayne and Garth. The addition of Cardi B did not hurt either.
prevnextAmazon Alexa - Michael B. Jordan
In terms of actually landing an unexpected joke, Amazon may have stolen the show with its Michael B. Jordan commercial. The actor personified Amazon's voice-activated assistant, to the delight of its female user in this ad.
prevnextMichelob ULTRA Organic Seltzer
Michelob ULTRA made a lot of big promises with is new organic hard seltzer campaign, and it purchased plenty of star power to add weight to those promises. If Americans can't take Don Cheadle's word for it, who can they trust?
prevnextCadillac - Edgar Scissorhands
Finally, Cadillac shelled out for rising star Timothee Chalamet and, presumably, for the right to do a parody Edward Scissorhands, all to advertise the new hands-free features in its all-electric Lyriq. Some viewers honestly appreciated this long walk for a short drink of water, and many would have taken any excuse to see Chalamet in this pitch-perfect costume.
