Best Super Bowl Ads: Did ‘Seinfeld Reunion’ Beat Out ‘Puppy Love?’
The best ads on television always happen during the Super Bowl. It’s a common truth held amongst all American TV viewers. As bad as the actual game that took place between the Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos was last night, at least we had a good time in between plays judging which Super Bowl Ad we thought was the best.
And according the USA Today Ad Meter, “Budweiser’s precious puppy has pranced off with the best-of-breed ribbon for Super Bowl commercials.” But that doesn’t mean we weren’t treated to more Super Bowl ads in between that left us laughing it up. Here is a rundown of the best Super Bowl ads that aired yesterday, including Tim Tebow, Radioshack and the much hyped Seinfeld Reunion:
The Seinfeld Reunion Finally Happens
One of the best Super Bowl ads to appear last night was the much hyped about “Seinfeld Reunion” that featured Jerry Seinfeld and George Constanza (played by Jason Alexander) reuniting at the show’s legendary diner to discuss their second half Super Bowl plans. It also featured Seinfeld’s arch nemesis Newman stopping by to rub in the fact that Jerry and George were not invited to the same party he was attending (well, George anyway). The ad was created to promote Jerry Seinfeld’s new web series, “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.”
Tim Tebow Doesn’t Need A Contract
Tim Tebow is having the time of his life. The ex-NFL star who was famously cut by the New York Jets after last season has filled his free time, according to T-Mobile with an assortment of really cool new jobs. In one segment, Tebow is seen delivering a baby in a hospital, while in another he’s tracking down the elusive creature known as Bigfoot. Even though another NFL team doesn’t appear willing to put up with the Tim Tebow circus, television viewers seem to be more than happy to.
Puppy Love
The aforementioned winner of the best Super Bowl ad according to the USA Today Ad Meter is guaranteed to leave you in tears. The ad features an adorable young puppy that gets adopted, but keeps coming back to the farm to visit one of the signature Clydesdale horses that he befriends. The most touching moment occurrs after the puppy is seen driving away with his/her presumed new owner only to the have the Budweiser horses form a barricade so their friend can be returned.
RadioShack Brings Back The 80’s
…And does a nice job poking fun at themselves in the process. If the cameos from Hulk Hogan, Erik Estrada and Alf weren’t enough to get you curious, then nothing in the world will get you into a RadioShack to see how much they’ve changed since then.
Which commercials did you think deserved to be considered the best Super Bowl ads of the night?
