Super Bowl LIII commercials: wins and fails

Annually, the first Sunday in February is reserved for one of the biggest football sporting competitions: the Super Bowl. For two teams to compete against each other, they must beat everyone else in a series or games and brackets called the playoffs. This game is usually a huge deal for many of us who enjoy watching every year and betting the end result. But for some of us who aren’t football fanatics, we only watch for the funny and cool commercials.

John Muller, sophomore sport management major, and Leana Lemon, sophomore exercise science major, both said that their favorite commercial this year was the Pepsi commercial starring rapper/songwriter Cardi B and actor Steve Carell. Lemon also said she “enjoyed the Bubly commercial starring Michael Bublé”.

Rodney Gibson, sophomore theater design tech major, said “I like the Chance the Rapper [Doritos] commercial starring the Backstreet Boys and their hit single ‘That Way, the ‘Captain Marvel trailers and the ‘Twilight teasers.”

But not everyone who watched for the commercials was satisfied. Danielle Walker, sophomore fine arts major, said “The only one I remember was the Doritos commercial with Chance the Rapper and it was trash.”

Gibson also had a least favorite. “My least favorite commercial would have to be the Bud Light commercial.”

Some have said that the commercials this year were similar to the actual game, not so great, and others thought the commercials were gut busting funny.
