What was 2018's Super Ad? (see below to watch all 10)










View Results
Truly it was a game for the ages... but who won on the advertising side of the ball? Only one way to find out!

Rules: no trailers allowed, original ads only, national ads only, had to air between kickoff and the final play

Tourism Australia - The New Dundee Movie


Bud Light - The Bud Knight


Amazon - Alexa Loses Her Voice


Ram Trucks - Icelandic Vikings Will Rock You


NFL - Touchdown Celebrations To Come (Eli and ODB)


Doritos & Mtn Dew - Rap of Ice & Fire (Peter Dinklage, Morgan Freeman)


Tide - All Super Bowl Ads Are Tide Ads


Kia Stinger - Feel Something Again (Steven Tyler)


Jeep - Jurassic Fantasy (Jeff Goldblum)


Michelob Ultra - The Perfect Fit (Chris Pratt) (two-parter, watch both)



May the best ad win!

BKSheikah dominated even The Show hosts in 2017, wow!

Personally I went with Tide's very clever move, turning every Super Bowl commercial past and present into ads for themselves (and they do have a point).

But it was close as I also loved Perfect Fit, Alexa, the Vikings, and Australia.

Honestly the Tide Ad thing is especially genius given all the bad press that Tide's been given over the Tide Pod Challenge

Given how much of an obvious standout those commercials were, it seems like "Tide Ad" should be the new trend associated with the brand

"FUCK TOM BRADY CHEATING CHOKE ARTIST SCUM AD"?

That one.

Second place is Tide

Wow. Tide was pretty clever but Eli/Beckham was by far the greatest. But I guess I'm biased.

I don't like the Giants, but the Eli/Beckham commercial was the clear winner

Nope. Tide's Old Spice riff alone was enough to win, and then there were three other solid ones to go with it.

I didn't even realize what was happening with the tide ads. I just looked up and saw the Old Spice horse thing becoming a tide commercial and went "WTF?" I guess people were talking over all the other ones and I just never figured it out. Even seeing them now, they don't really stand out to me that much. Eli and OBJ doing Dirty Dancing was pretty special, though.

I also liked this one:

I think the most effective part of the Tide Ads came from watching the Super Bowl as a whole

Every time an ad came on that didn't immediately have a brand shown, everyone in the room would right away start guessing if it was a Tide Ad

I don't think anyone else at the party I attended even cared about the ads. The effect was completely lost on us.

I was in doubt until I rewatched my favorites. Tide was definitely the best.

My place was the exact opposite. No one cared about the game but everyone was zoned in on the ads.
