Some fans were confused by the dialogue-free ad, feeling like it wasn't clear if a full-on Sopranos revival was implied by the teaser.

I believe they met at the restaurant where the last scene took place, Stuart’s.

Is that Chevy commercial “Sopranos” canon or…?
— Joe Ovies (@joeovies) February 14, 2022
Whether it was meant to tease a reunion or not, fans noted that the episode had major significance for The Sopranos, since it was the location of the final scene in the series.

How did they drop the ball on that Sopranos Chevy commercial by not having “Meadow” struggle with the parking?!! Ugh.

If you have no Sopranos knowledge, that Chevy commercial is just a strangely emotional parking job.

The final scene of The Sopranos infamously generated anxiety by showing Meadow struggling to parallel park, so fans thought it was intentional that she had no trouble parking in this commercial. Between that and the nod to Tony's old Chevy, they found the ad to be perfectly justified in using this IP.

After the commercial tonight, I'm 100% ready for a Meadow Soprano spinoff.

Was the electric Chevy commercial a hint that the sopranos are coming back? Hmmmm

Although the ad was for the Chevy electric truck, some fans were optimistic that it would also serve as a foot in the door to create a Sopranos revival series centered around Meadow. In the world of entertainment, stranger things have happened.
prevnextImplication
one of the feature of the truck is it only loops the sopranos theme when you drive it and it cant be turned off

I loved seeing AJ and Meadow Soprano but that commercial made me feel nothing about the electric truck
— Matt Whitlock (@mattdizwhitlock) February 14, 2022
Some fans joked that being associated with The Sopranos – and all the violence that comes with it – might not be the best branding decision for Chevy. They wondered if drivers would subconsciously feel like a mob boss whenever they drove the truck.

Give me a Meadow Soprano spin off, where her & AJ want to reclaim their fathers turf. The only mobster that’ll help them is Paulie due to Jersey not respecting him.
Throughout the series we watch this rag tag trio go through trials and tribulations to ultimately fail abysmally! https://t.co/yap1W7eI0B

Some fans got right to work theorizing about what a Sopranos revival might be about – which characters would return, what their allegiances would be and what the situation in North Jersey would be after all these years.

We got a sopranos commercial in the Super Bowl with Meadow Soprano in it? I’ve ascended

Omg. My jaw in the floor from the Sopranos Chevy commercial. Extra impressive bc Robert Iler doesn’t act anymore!

Finally, between ads like this and the halftime show lineup, some fans commented on how this Super Bowl played to their generational nostalgia – for better or for worse.
