Each year, persons tune in to the superbowl for things other than the game or the wardrobe malfunctions. The commercials broadcasted during the superbowl are a lot more fun to watch than the game itself.
Since we are at present in superbowl mode, with game six behind us and the season underway, i thought it was time to look at what we may see in the means of superbowl 44 commercials.
I did a quick google search, but it seems that advertisers are holding mum in regards to their plans this year. Still, we may at least get an idea of what they’re up versus from previous years’ ads. So, here’s a quick list of the top ten superbowl commercials of all time:
At number 10, the budweiser frogs. This mercantile featured a series of frogs burping out the word “budd “weiss” “err. ” yeah, it seems ludicrous, but still, it was cute and naturally budweiser retained the concept going, with dozens of commercials building on the frogs, so we unquestionably do not forget it.
At number 9, the xerox monks. Back in 1977, the idea of a photocopy machine was still a quaint one. I do not forget the old mimeograph machines where you had to write on exceptional paper in order to make copies, but the monks in this mercantile plainly didn’t feel the demand for that. They stepped straight from a quill to the xerox copy machine.
At number 8 we have the tabasco mosquito in 1998. This one is memorable because it genuinely ends seriously for the mosquito, who thinks he’s getting a nice juicy bit of blood from an unsuspecting mark but rather gets a mouthful of tabasco sauce.
At number 7 is the eds cat herder family. We’re not sure why we liked this one and honestly, what a cat herder has to do with data processing, we’re not sure either, but hey, it was cute and we like cats.
At number 6 is one that will give any superbowl 44 ads a run for their cash: basketball greats michael jordan and larry byrd face off for the extreme prize: a big mac and fries. Mmm. Made me want to go out to mcds during the 1993 superbowl.
