Laying on the couch, you eye the gooey nachos while cracking open a fizzy soda. Your viewer experience couldn’t get any better. In reality, it’s not the Superbowl you’re stoked for- it’s the infamous commercial breaks that are coveted beyond compare.

There is no doubt that on Feb. 1, the commercials of Superbowl XLIX were as eccentric, provoking and memorable as ever. This in mind, here is the break down of the best and worst Superbowl commercials presented a few weeks back.

An annual favorite, the 2015 Budweiser commercial did not fail to disappoint. Ranking in the top three, viewers just can’t seem to help but fall for the adorable love story of a playful lab pup and his loyal horse companion.

“It gave me the feels,” junior Malika Khamidova said.

This year’s Budweiser commercial told the story of #bestbuds as the pup tragically gets lost being trapped in a horse trailer and taken out of town. As expected every year, the pup finds his way back to his home on the ranch with the help of his gigantic hoofed friend coming to his rescue. Predictable? Yes. But it gets you every time.

Not close behind the #bestbuds was Kim Kardashian for T-Mobile’s new DataStash™. In this commercial, the social media Queen plays up her vanity and the importance of wireless companies rolling over unused data to the following month so seriously that it’s comical and, not to mention, memorable.

“I think it was funny, but also really smart of them to play off of the public view of Kim Kardashian and her notorious self-centeredness,” junior Jayda Nalamlieng said.

Fiat 500x commercial caps off as a fellow favorite Superbowl commercials of this year. Seemingly controversial, this commercial told the 60-second story of an elderly Italian man and his unexciting, unfortunate circumstances surrounding the loss of his “male-performance-oriented” blue pill. The double-entendre played throughout the add has got students talking and parents walking away from the T.V. screen.

“We thought it was hilarious because a lot of people respond to sexual humor. It is a smart strategy for them to use as a gateway for the product,” junior Samantha Laba said.

“They’re showing things on T.V. that I wouldn’t want to talk about in my own house, but that’s how things seem to be today,” OPHS parent Bill Greer adds.

As with every all-star line up of Superbowl commercials, there are always those that fall short of expectations, excitement, and memorability. One such case includes the Nationwide™ homeowners “Make Safe Happen” insurance ad, telling the story of all the dreams a young boy could not live to experience having died in a preventable home accident.

“It was a bit much and manipulative, especially because the last time I checked more kids die in car accidents than home accidents,” OPHS junior Justan Haddox said.

Such a heavy topic amongst other light-hearted ads appeared to be unsettling for viewers like Haddox, especially when it was followed by much more humorous options.

Amongst its fellow disappointments of the night was Carnival Cruise Line’s™ ad coined ‘Come Back to the Sea.’ In using the late President JFK’s voice-over, the commercial didn’t sit very well with it’s viewers.

“I thought the ocean waves were visually pleasing, but overall it did not catch my attention in any other respect,” said junior Samantha Laba.

Whether more flops or favorites, students can’t wait to see what’s in store for years to come.

“That’s the thing about Superbowl commercials,” junior Jake Davis said. “They’re simply unpredictable and, because of that, are often more exciting than the game itself.”
