Super Bowl Commercials 2011


Sadly enough - I really wasn't too impressed with the commercials played during the 2011 Super Bowl.  Only a few commercials caught my attention and even those commercials had come 2nd to those that I have seen in previous years.  Many of the car commercials had the same feel to them and just seemed very boring and unoriginal to me.

Commercials I Enjoyed:

 

Volkswagon Commercial: The Force - this commercial was with the little boy dressed up as Darth Vador and he kept trying to use his "force" to turn on electrical appliances and other things around the house.  Without fail he could not succeed until his dad arrives home with his new Volkswagon and the child believes he turns on the engine with his "force".  This was a cute commercial and I enjoyed watching it. I believe Volkswagon wanted to touch parents hearts and did a great job in doing so. 

 
Doritos: Pug attack - This commercial is HILARIOUS! I have a small dog of my own therefore I know what it is to tease small dogs.  The dogs strength breaks down the glass door and the guy ends up squished.  It was very modern and fun - for a product that is also looked at as young and fun.  

 
Bridgestone: Reply All - This commercial put a smile on my face! The guy looked so funny running around grabbing everyone's computers or cell phones in order to prevent them from reading the email he sent and also it hits home because how many times have we thought we hit reply all.  Or even just sent an email that we wish we could take back.   




Commercials I Disliked: 

Coca Cola: Siege - I really like Coca Cola and have always enjoyed their commercials however this commercial I feel wasn't great.  I thought it was boring and I didn't know what they were advertising until the very end of the commercial. Very disappointing being that I love the Coca Cola brand and what it represents.  
Groupon: Tibet - I thought this was a horrible commercial! I don't know if they were being for real in trying to gain awareness on what is going on in Tibet but this commercial was tasteless and embarrassing. I still don't even know what Groupon is.
