Super Bowl LII Commercials Humor GHS Students
February 12, 2018
Super Bowl LII ended with an exciting win for the Philadelphia Eagles, 41-33, but the game wasn’t the main attraction for all viewers. Many GHS students looked forward to funny commercials between quarters and timeouts, rather than the game.
“I really enjoyed the Amazon Alexa commercial this year. I thought it was really funny and I knew some of the actors in the commercials,” junior Riley Polasek said.
Junior Asalah Jamaleddin thought the Doritos and Mountain Dew Commercial was funny because of the actors.
“I enjoyed the Doritos blaze and Mountain Dew commercial with Peter Dinklage and Morgan Freeman because it was humorous and an entertaining ad to watch; the rap they were singing had a good rhythm to it,” she said.
Senior Emilie Schneck agrees with Jamaleddin, finding the “Ti-Dad’s” enjoyable.
“I really liked the Ti-Dad’s commercial because I thought it was really funny and because I recognized the guy from Stranger Things,” she said.
Senior Connor Serketich also liked the Mountain Dew commercial.
“I liked the Mountain Dew commercial. I thought it was entertaining because I like Morgan Freeman and he sang in the commercial, which I thought was funny,” he said.
Costing up to $5 million per 30 seconds (according to cbssports.com), the top rated commercials of this year’s Super Bowl were the “Doritos Blaze vs. Mountain Dew Ice,” the “Tourism- Australia” commercial, and the “Tide” ads according to forbes.com.
However, not all of the students liked the commercials and found some of them annoying.
“I thought the Bud Light commercials were so annoying because it kept playing over and over, as did the Tide commercials,” junior Mari Williams said.
Jamaleddin agrees with Williams, believing that the Tide commercials were too repetitive.
“Some of the Tide commercials I didn’t really enjoy because they were repeated constantly. They were potentially supposed to be safety ads to stop people from eating tide pods,” she said.
Some of the least popular commercials were “Built to Serve,” “The Bud Knight,” and “Hyundai- Hope Detector,” according to cbssports.com.
