As far as my favorite commercials, I thought the NFL female football one was great. Dunkin’ Donuts. The two dog commercials pulled at my heart strings so while they weren’t my favorites because they made me laugh they were very impactful.
That add from “The Dawn Group” was a total fraud, from a business competitor, who is trying to develops their own self-driving technology (and market it, for profit).
Check this out: https://techcrunch.com/2023/02/12/tesla-dawn-project-super-bowl-fsd/
“The Dawn Project’s founder, Dan O’Dowd, is also the CEO of Green Hill Software, a company that builds operating systems for embedded safety and security systems, as well as its own automated driving systems. That fact at once lends credence to the organization’s potential subject matter expertise, and makes it clear that Green Hill is in competition with Tesla’s FSD. Last year, The Dawn Project took out a full page ad in The New York Times claiming Tesla’s FSD has a “critical malfunction every eight minutes.”
After The Dawn Project aired a commercial last summer showing a Tesla Model 3 striking four different child-sized mannequins while driving a test track in California, Tesla sent the organization a cease-and-desist letter. The letter refuted all of the campaign’s claims, doubled down on Tesla’s commitment to safety and called to question The Dawn Project’s methodology.
“The purported tests misuse and misrepresent the capabilities of Tesla’s technology, and disregard widely recognized testing performed by independent agencies as well as the experiences shared by our customers,” wrote Dinna Eskin, a Tesla lawyer, in last year’s cease-and-desist. “In fact, unsolicited scrutiny of the methodology behind The Dawn Project’s tests has already (and within hours of you publicly making defamatory allegations) shown that the testing is seriously deceptive and likely fraudulent.”
Oh, and the CEO just happens to be running for a senate seat too.
The guy can be a skeeveball with an agenda and the facts laid out in the commercial can all be true. It should not be legal to drive with something like that if it is failing those tests

F*** off. I highly doubt that Christians would understand an LGBT atheist like me. Commercials like this do not belong on Super Bowl Sunday.
All Jesus ever did was love you as you are, however you align yourself. On the other hand, you're seeding animosity. Why do you think love doesn't have a place on Super Bowl Sunday?
For one, "Jesus" commercials were inappropriate at best. Jesus would not be supporting that utter shit.
I love how either side knows what Jesus would support!
As if that really is a thing.

Thank you for showing just how intolerant the side who says we should tolerate everyone and be all inclusive really is.
Try telling Mahomes and Hurts not to kneel or pray during a game!
NOBODY says we should tolerate racists, misogynists, or traitors.

Made me laugh.
I accept this is probably just me but I really hated at the end her tone when she said "she only likes the blue one" -- like the dad was an idiot who didn't know anything about his kid.
Not just you. I think most people hated this ad. I am the definitely the outlier there.

Reposting and asked jeff to delete my last post because I think it was hard to read!
My personal top 5, scientific of course
- The hold music on the phone dancing for Bud Light. This was just very sweet and relatable. And personally I can't stand Miles Teller so when I first saw him I was already geared up to dislike it but it was just so simple and human it won me fully over.
- Dave Grohl and Canada, real and amusing!
- Farmer's Dog <3
- Maya Rudolph and the M&Ms
- Dancing Turbotax guy
Worst, in no particular order
- Adam Driver's thing (although the behind the scenes footage was hilarious, thats what hey should have used
- Planters nuts roast, not a bad idea but lame
- Serena Williams with the Remy Martin, we were all pumped up watching that and like laughed out loud when suddenly it was a liquor ad
- The etrade babies, it wasn't even funny? Like it was just a wedding montage but with babies? I feel like past iterations of this have at least been funny
- The Jesus ads. I actually like the message of them, but they are paid for by people who act in a way directly opposed to that message which made them feel manipulative in an evil way that IRL Jesus I think would have frowned deeply at
Honorable mentions to
- The creepy rabbits, I almost put them under worst but the reality is that they were VERY memorable
- Caddyshack
- Will Ferrell, he is funny!
- Ben Stiller/Steve Martin is it acting because I love Zoolander but thought Steve Martin executed his commercial better
- Sarah McLoughlin
- The google pixel ad, the first phone ad in years that has made me legitimately consider purchasing the phone being advertised

Top rated ads per the USA Today Ad-meter:
https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/Ad-Meter/2023/02/13/best-2023-super-bowl-commercials-voted-usa-today-ad-meter/11247208002/
So happy to see the Jesus ads in the top 15!
The Dawn project was not shown nationally and the visuals and simulations were quite suspect.
Auto driving is in its infancy. Yes there will be incidents, deaths and accidents, but in 50 years the Dawn project will be irrelevant.
Think of the guy who drove off the PCH over a cliff in a Tesla and everyone luckily survived. You can hate on Elon all you want but those cars are incredibly safe.

I haven’t seen this one mentioned, or I missed it. The anti-Tesla auto Drive feature ad. I think it was by the Don project. It was really alarming to see all those objects run over by the self driving feature. How accurate was that?
As far as my favorite commercials, I thought the NFL female football one was great. Dunkin’ Donuts. The two dog commercials pulled at my heart strings so while they weren’t my favorites because they made me laugh they were very impactful.
