This Is The Best Super Bowl Commercial Of All Time
... at St Louis agency D’arcy Masius Benton & Bowles. A few years ago, Swain told Ad Meter : “There are stories about how we were in a swamp drinking Budweiser when we came up with the idea, or that we had pet frogs as kids. What’s certain is that we were two young creative guys working as hard as we possibly could to come up with creative solutions that would help regain recognition for a storied brand.” Fun fact: “Frogs” was directed by Gore Verbinksi, the filmmaker who would later helm The Ring and the first three Pirates of the Caribbean movies. 9) You Got the Right One, Baby (1991). Like all the best Super Bowl commercials, Diet Pepsi’s 1991 ad has an indescribable X-factor that makes it hard to resist. Ray Charles singing “You got the right one baby,” adjacent to a trio of retro back-up singers/dancers — the Raelettes ...

... period, there were two fatalities and 156 injuries resulting from traffic crashes. Both of the traffic fatalities and 23 of the injuries were OVI-related, the patrol said. STAFF FILE. BUTLER COUNTY. No matter which team you’re rooting to win Super Bowl LI Sunday night, the Ohio State Highway Patrol urges you to refrain from driving impaired. They said if party-goers plan on drinking alcohol, they should designate a sober driver to get them home safely. WATCH: Preview of Super Bowl commercials. Also, the state patrol said, those who host Super Bowl parties Sunday should assure their guests have a safe ride home and never serve alcohol to someone under the legal drinking age of 21.

Miami Dolphins Are Pro Football’s All-time Kings After Rout Of Vikings In Super Bowl Viii
... scored twice to lead the Miami Dolphins to a second consecutive title, originally ran on Jan. 14, 1974. HOUSTON — Call it Grants' Tomb. Re-title it Shula's Shrine. Or Csonka's Causeway. Or let 'em keep the name Rice Stadium. No matter. Henceforth this fog-bound battleground will be known as the one where the Dolphins settled themselves by any reasonable measure as football's all-time kings. Forget Super Bowl VIII's final score of Miami 24, Minnesota 7. It was no more a reflection of Dolphin superiority than that 14-7 victory over Washington in Super Bowl VII indicated the one-sidedness there. Do remember that both Washington then and Minnesota now were and are excellent football clubs. And that the Dolphins did much more than win by 17 this soggy Sunday. It was murder. It made the St. valentine's Day Massacre look like a draw. Minnesota Coach Bud ...

Justin Bieber Returns To Instagram Just In Time For The Super Bowl
... haters left rude comments bad-mouthing Richie. At that, Gomez, 24, called her ex out for calling attention to his relationship with Richie, 18. “If you can’t handle the hate then stop posting pictures of your girlfriend lol — it should be special between you two only,” the “Kill ‘em With Kindness” singer commented. “Don’t be mad at your fans. They love you.”. PHOTOS: Justin Bieber's Complete Dating History. After a few back-and-forth exchanges, Bieber shut down his account, which has more than 77 million followers. In November, the “Baby” crooner further distanced himself from his social media account, telling fans that Instagram is “for the devil” during a London show on Tuesday, November 29. "Who thinks I should get my Instagram back?" Bieber asked as the O 2 Arena erupted in screams from fans, according to videos posted online. "Nah, I don't want to get my Instagram back. Instagram is for the devil. I'm sure … I think hell is Instagram. I'm, like, 90 percent sure. We get sent to hell and we get, like, locked in the Instagram server. Like, I'm stuck in the DMs. I'm trying ...
How Long Is The Super Bowl
... a number of tragic attacks and deaths. The NFL is a massive corporation that preys on citizens by convincing them that financing a multi-billion dollar stadium is a good investment that will pay off in a reasonable number of years instead of maybe decades later (by which time we will all live in the sea). The fact that watching the Super Bowl endorses these American power structures and does not actually consume three hours and 44 minutes of my life is unconscionable. So if I have an interest in burning through three hours and 44 minutes of my life for real, what are some things I could do instead. What other stuff is 3 hours and 44 minutes long. All but the last 14 minutes of the 1939 film Gone with the Wind, starring Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh. The 1996 film Titanic plus 29 minutes of something else. Maybe Mitski’s appropriately lovelorn patriotic anthem “Your Best American Girl” (3 minutes, 32 seconds) played eight and one-third times. The baking process for three to four apple pies. Very American. Walking from my home in Brooklyn to a Dunkin Donuts in Staten Island, buying a coffee, walking to the Franklin D. Roosevelt Boardwalk and Beach, and admiring the ...
Super Non-controversial In Tense Times
... Adolphus Busch's 1857 immigration from Germany to St. Louis. Although it has been in the works since May , the ad felt topical, as it was released online just days after President Donald Trump's travel ban against people from seven Muslim-majority countries. The ad got more than 8 million views on You Tube in just four days. Although many brands released ads online ahead of time, there will still be surprises during Fox's Super Bowl broadcast Sunday. At $5 million for a 30-second spot, and an expected U. S. audience of more than 110 million, the pressure is on. TIPTOEING AROUND POLITICS. Audi's spot addresses gender equality as a man muses about his daughter receiving equal pay as men one day. Building supplies retailer 84 Lumber had to revise its original ad because a scene featuring a border wall was deemed too controversial by Fox. The new ad shows a Mexican woman and her daughter making a trip by foot across Mexico. The ad's ...
9 Best Halftime Shows Of All Time
... headliner was no hot ticket like Super Bowl 51's Lady Gaga. Hell, he wasn't even a household name: Al Hirt was a Grammy-winning trumpet player whose biggest claim to fame before Super Bowl I was TV's "The Green Hornet" theme. Fast-forward to the New England Patriots vs. Atlanta Falcons: Lady Gaga is set to touchdown on Feb. 5. Back in 1966, Hirt was sacked with a couple of college marching bands. "For the first three decades of the Super Bowl, the halftime show was almost an afterthought," according to Rolling Stone magazine historians. "Marching bands would play Disney or Duke Ellington songs and they'd call it a day. It wasn't uncommon to bring out state fair acts like Chubby Checker or Up With People.". That all changed in 1993, when Michael Jackson took center stage - motionless for a full 90 seconds - before exploding into what many consider his last legendary performance. Months later, allegations of child abuse started taking a toll on his legacy. Still, Michael set the standard ...
11 Super Bowl Ads That Are Already Big Winners
... goes back in time with an impressive group of celebrities in its ad for the redesigned 2017 CR-V. Steve Carell, Tina Fey, Robert Redford, Amy Adams, Magic Johnson, Missy Elliot, Stan Lee, Jimmy Kimmel and Viola Davis speak form the pages of their high school yearbooks in the poignant commercial about living your dreams. Turbo Tax. Turbo Tax created a three-part series to promote its mobile app. In the opener, knights rescue Humpy Dumpy after he falls off a wall while doing his taxes. Part 2 will air during the Super Bowl and the third installment later. After seeing Humpty heave, viewers may never order their eggs sunny side up again. Injured Patriots’ tight end Rob Gronkowski won’t be on the field Sunday, but we will see him in two ads. Besides appearing with Justin Bieber in spot for T-Mobile , dry cleaner Gronk hilariously messes up “Transparent” star Jeffrey Tambor’s clothes in a Tide spot. Tide already released a three-part trailer for the full ad. Avocados From Mexico. According to a secret society that’s failing to keep its own secrets, there are only 49 shades of grey, Big Foot is not real and Avocados From Mexico have good fat. The ...
Fox’s Lineup Before Super Bowl Includes Pregame Shows, Trump Interview
... Fox will sneak an interview with America’s 45 th president, Donald J. Trump, into its 7.5 hours of coverage leading up to kickoff. Fox News pundit Bill O’Reilly will sit down with the president to provide a brief respite from a full work day’s worth of football chatter, but that doesn’t mean the pair won’t touch on the big game. President Trump has been outspoken about his support of Bill Belichick, Tom Brady, and the Patriots. Odds are good he’ll bring up his “good friend” Brady at least once in his pregame conversation. The presidential interview isn’t a new feature for the Super Bowl or for Fox. The last two times the game aired on Fox, O’Reilly interviewed then-President Barack Obama. O’Reilly prided himself on asking contentious questions in a statement released earlier in the month, but also suggested his interview with President Trump could be a bit less hard-hitting. “You ...
The 5 Best Super Bowl Halftime Shows Of All Time
... of a Jumbotron. 2. Beyoncé (2013. and 2016). Whatever you make of her image and music, we can all agree Beyoncé knows how to make the most of a moment. After her elaborate and meticulously executed 2013 halftime performance (complete with Destiny's Child mini-reunion), she came back last year and proved that a Beyoncé/Coldplay/Bruno Mars collaboration is something we all actually needed. Yes, Coldplay was technically the headliner, but Beyoncé stole the biggest TV event of the year with the just-dropped "Formation," the performance of which generated massive pushback from people who believed her statement was anti-police. 1. Prince (2007). Only Prince would launch his Super Bowl show with an extremely phallic male-symbol stage jutting down the field, a powder-blue suit on his body, and a bandana on his head. Prince brought rock-star energy ...
