It was very confusing.
Did we pay for that MAHA ad out of our tax dollars? I looked it up and at least the ICE one was paid for by some "non profit" and not tax dollars.
In general, I didn't think they were that great and I was wondering if they just use AI to write commercials now.
My favorite current commerical is actually the Starbucks one for the Olympics because the scenery is so gorgeous I can watch it over and over! (They are doing a coffee run down the mountain into the town).
No, the intro said before they made Good Will Hunting the movie, they made a TV show starring a better actor (or something like that) so Ben Affleck was in the Matt Damon role (Will Hunting) and then the others were all TV stars from the 80s and 90s (except Tom Brady). It was supposed to be like a TV sitcom.
+1 I just watched again and it's so good. They've got cheers, seinfeld, fresh prince, friends, saved by the bell, and of course damon/affleck. Did I miss anyone? After not understanding what's the beef with 50-cent and a comb, it's pretty fun to get all the inside jokes of the 80s/90s. I would watch 2 hours of these cameos and one-liners.
I missed the Saved by the Bell part. Steve Urkel (Jaleel White) from Family Matters was there too.
And Jasmine Guy, Whitley from A Different World.

And I did not get the Amazon Alexa ad showing all the creepy things you might think Alexa could do but then haha not true and you should get one. What??
Yes! That was nuts, with the garage door opener and the pool!

Some of them were pretty amusing but wtf was with the first commercial after the anthem being a Scream commercial. My 7 year old was terrified and I ran to close her eyes and she is still talking about it. Thanks networks. At least put those on in the second half after most younger kids are in bed.

The Raisin Bran commercial with "Will Shat" and all the poop jokes made me not want to eat Raisin Bran. Like, yes, I do like foods with fiber for obvious reasons. But associating food with poop that directly is not great.
Also the Liquid IV commercial with the singing toilets and telling you to look at your pee, and the Levis ad with all the butts (which would have been fine but in combination with all the other butt stuff was too much).
Maybe we are regressing in intelligence and have to go back to middle school boy humor
And peeing! Look at your pee and then hydrate! I don't want toilet ads and to be told to look at my pee. And peeing for the female kidney check ad with sofia vegara.

My favorites:
Sabrina Carpenter and the Pringles boyfriend
The "what if Xfinity solved the IT problems in Jurassic Park" ad
Honorable mention to the Hellman's ad with Andy Samberg, which I found entertaining but did not make mayonnaise look appetizing even to me, a person who enjoys some mayo on my sandwich. Ads should actually promote the product they are selling, right?

I thought the Instacart one was funny.
The Coinbase one was weird. I didn’t get it.

Jewish and really did not like the one with the kid who gets the "dirty jew" note on his backpack. Who the h3ll approved that ad?!?
Thank you. Did the makers of that ad not understand the conditions under which most people see these ads? That felt so jarring and upsetting and it was confusing what was happening when the other kid approached and put the blue square on it. The message was also weird -- if my kid got a note like that in their locker, I'd want them to report it to the admin immediately, it would not be solved by another student covering it up and standing near my kid.
I'm good with an ad addressing antisemitism, which does appear to be increasing, but that was such a weird way to go about it. Instead it made me feel weirdly violated in the middle of a party with my neighbors.

Nope you're right. I was referring to Urkel and got his show wrong. I skew to the Cheers age and not the Family Matters age!

I thought the majority were awful. Maybe written by AI like someone said.
Even the Dunkin one was too much. Less is more with all of those TV characters.
The prescription drug commercials were a real snooze. We get enough of those regularly.

The clumps of shaved hair was the grossest commercial for me.
