Best Super Bowl Commercial??

[whipped guy]

Well I was not really impressed this year, but at the risk of this thread being moved to the Arts Forum this opera lover votes for the Alfa Romeo commercial that appeared very late in the proceedings. It featured one of my favorite Italian words... Mozzafiato.... meaning that it takes your breath away.... my favorite opera aria... "Casta Diva" from Bellini's Norma.... and my all time favorite singer Maria Callas to boot! What's not to like!!! It was all class as befits Alfa Romeo.

Some of the others were poignant or funny, but no grand salami in my book this year.

Maybe not a "Grand Salami"...but pretty damn good.

And still my favorite...

I guess the Anheuser-Busch "immigration" one is the most thoughtful....and the dude playing Busch wasn't bad-looking

 

without Doritos ads and edgy GoDaddy semi-porn, wasn't so funny this year.....we all thought this was the best:

I like the Busch one a lot.

Just saw this one on the tail end of another Super Bowl commercial. I didn't watch the game, so I'm not sure which version played, but it's powerful considering the current political climate.

Made me weep again. And open my wallet. I was a teacher in a border state for many years and saw first hand the pain of exclusion. What wouldnt any parent do to give their child a chance at a better life? Bravo, 84 Lumber!

I am not sure if the Airbnb played this this year but I find it one of the best at accomplishing what it wants to.

I heard something about a Superbowl advertiser having their ad rejected.......?? Any one else? If this one played, I missed it. ?????

I read a headline in the Washington Post about Fox asking for an ad to be edited. I didn't click on it, as I am not interested in anything Super Bowl related.

Audi commercial made me tear up.

AirBnB and Google Home ads were also pretty cool to see on such a huge stage.

It was a political leaning ad about "the wall" and it didn't run. I'll not go into details here - no politics here *please*, google it if you're interested in more.

From what I understand the ad about the wall was indeed edited for the reason you suggested but it did run.

I think ?? it was the 84 Lumber ad??.....abbreviated commercial, but one can go to their website for the rest.....that website was overloaded today and was down, news said

I believe you're the correct one, thanks. Hope I didn't mislead anyone...
