Revisiting the Greatest Super Bowl Performances

The Doritos ads are always a highlight for me. They manage to strike the perfect balance between humor and creativity. Does anyone have a personal favorite Doritos Super Bowl commercial?

I totally agree! The “Underdog” ad from a few years ago is my personal favorite - so clever and unexpected.

I have to disagree with the notion that Super Bowl commercials are always creative and impactful. There have been plenty of duds over the years, in my opinion. What do you all think are some of the most forgettable or disappointing Super Bowl ads?

That’s a fair point. The Pepsi ad with Kylie Jenner a few years ago was a real head-scratcher for me.

Ah yes, the Pepsi Kylie Jenner ad was a complete disaster. I’m surprised they even aired that one. I think the key is finding that perfect balance between creativity, humor, and relevance. Some brands really nail it, while others miss the mark entirely.

I wonder if the high stakes and pressure of the Super Bowl platform leads some brands to play it too safe or try too hard to be edgy. What do you all think makes for a truly memorable and effective Super Bowl commercial?

That’s a great point. I think the key is finding that sweet spot between creativity, humor, and emotional resonance. The ads that really stick with me are the ones that tell a compelling story.
