Super Bowl LI Ads: Will they be worth the watch?

With the Super Bowl coming up quickly, viewers from across the nation will gather to watch the game. Along with the game, of course, come the commercials. Companies pay monstrous amounts of money to advertise during the game, with prices getting as high as $5 million for a 30-second spot.

Commercials during the Super Bowl have become so popular, people who are not interested in the game itself will watch solely for the commercials. In the past, there were some ads that were so memorable they lingered on the internet long after it aired. There were also some that were a complete flop.

The question is, what will Super Bowl LI bring to the field when it comes to it's commercials?
Let's take a look at what companies have provided throughout the years to get us pumped for the big day:

What better way to begin a glimpse into Sunday's game with Budweiser's AD from 2015 (prepare some tissues):


Ugh, one can't talk about Super Bowl commercials without adding this classic from Apple in 1984:


One company that always knows how to make a memorable appearance is Old Spice, but this one is particularly memorable from 2010:


Now let's head to the world of fast food, where Taco Bell rules in their Super Bowl ads:


Finally, in my opinion, one of the most memorable commercials from all of Super Bowl history. Ladies and gents, I bring to you, Talking Baby:


So, does this glimpse into the past help us pan out what this year will bring? Super Bowl LI will definitely be memorable, but will it be because of the game or the ads? Go watch this Sunday, Feb 5th and be the judge!

  1. I almost forgot about a few of these advertisements, and watching them again reminded me how powerful a 30 second ad can be if it is quirky and something a viewer has never experienced before. I wrote a post a couple weeks ago about the #PuppyMonkeyBaby commercial, and I think that one also coincides with your list of ultimate/memorable Super Bowl ads. I can't wait to see what's in store for us tonight!
