Super bowl commercials

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

About damn time, I've been boycotting them for years!

Do you drink Goose Island, Stella Artois, Hoegaarden, or any of the other InBev beers they have acquired over the years?  Good chance you buy them and don't even know it.

I can't speak to the first statement you made, though it is entirely possible.

As to the financial risk ... yes, when a corporation takes a stand, it opens itself up to extreme negative reactions and sometimes even boycotts. In fact, a boycott against Bud is being organized right now.

When has a boycott ever put a multimillion dollar company at risk? Hell the left tried to boycott Chick-fil-A and that didn't work.

I hope he isn't a scooper - I have a friend who is a big wig at Miller Coors and MU who was telling glow and I at an event  that one big advantage  their products have over the craft breweries is their unwavering consistency -- yeah, consistently bland, we both said under our breaths.

Aimed at the underage high schoolers who take a case down to the lake.
There's a reason that over 200 microbrewerys exist in San Diego alone

Have you guys been to the Pabst brewery since it came back to Milwaukee?

No, I believe it is addressing the perception that women are not paid the same as men for the same work.  It was created to prompt the response from women, "Oh, how nice! Audi cares about us!  If I am ever in the market for a luxury automobile, I will totally buy an Audi!"

This.

Listen, I fully believe in equality of pay regardless of gender, but you have to be pretty obtuse and arrogant if you think your own self-worth and value to society is defined by how much money you make.

You have to hand it to Audi, however; they sure do know their audience.

No, no, no and no.

(OK, I will have the occasional Bourbon County when available.)

I don't believe this add was on the Super Bowl, but did anyone see the add by one of those chain Jewelry stores for Valentines Day targeting a female couple buying each other a diamond engagement ring? That was absolutely brilliant marketing in my opinion. Of course they also showed a straight  couple as well.

And yet the first question that is asked of a stranger is, "what do you do for a living?"

The hallmark of America's society, for decades, has been determining a person's value by which office they enter. Advertising agencies have known this since their founding.

[brandx]

I wonder when when the adds were made. Perhaps they thought Hillary would be president and were just being politically correct. Then again are those who oppose this administration saying paying women what they are worth is a financial risk?

And yet, the ad was being worked on long before the election and would have played no matter who won. They worked on that ad for 8 months - yes, most of that time Hillary was expected to be president.

So yeah, it was aimed at the Creep

Any other hallmarks of American society that arose around the same time period that you'd like to tout, or are we just picking and choosing which ones we use to justify people's nearsightedness.

Personally, I thought almost all of the ads sucked. The ones that were supposed to be fun weren't and while I'm not a "stick to sports" kind of guy, politics are getting suffocating these days so I didn't enjoy them showing up during the superbowl whether they were a message I believe in or not.

[JWags85]

Seriously.  If they had never let the first Busch into the country, think of all the crappy beer that would have never been produced.

They got really cute with the creative liberties in that story.  Cutting out the fact that he came with 3 of his brothers and that he was from a wealthy family and migrated cause being among the youngest, he wouldn't inherit the family business.  A true rough and tumble tale.

That's nothing...there is NO WAY Melissa McCarthy got tossed into the side of a boat by a whale then survived being in a tree that got felled.  Talk about taking creative liberties!

(seriously, it's a commercial not an historical documentary)

Granted; however, if Melissa McCarthy really had been tossed into the side of a boat but Kia still gave us the CGI commercial we saw instead, wouldn't you be a little pissed off?

Obviously the Nintendo Switch ad was the best. HYPE!!!!!!!

You chose the hallmark. I was keeping it on topic.

During the Mr. Clean commercial, I pointed out to my wife that I routinely clean the house and she never reacts that way.

Wear tighter pants.

[brandx]

If Audi so concerned with economic equality for women, maybe that should just give us a 40% discount on their cars, because, you know, we only make 60 cents for every dollar a man makes. Allegedly.

Don't go all Heisy on us with #alternative facts

Nor should she, especially if she works outside the home.

[tower912]

Agreed.   But I am still allowed to joke with her about it.   

[warriorchick]

Absolutely.

[MU82]

That Mr. Clean was bald like me and had 6-pack abs like me.

He cleaned like my wife, though!

(That was for you, chickadee.)

[rocket surgeon]

i thought most of the super bowl commercials were pretty lame, especially given the price they paid just to air them.  i could have come up with something more clever and i'm cheap .  BUT, this post super bowl commercial is a doozy-ey roger dodger?
