Lady Gaga’s rendition of the National Anthem lasted approximately 2 minutes and 20 seconds at this year’s Super Bowl 50. Many people placed bets on this. This is just one example of how the Super Bowl is about more than just football. People attend parties, place bets on all kinds of things, and watch pre-game stories hours before the game even begins. Even the non-football fans are drawn to the event because of the amusing commercials. Because the Super Bowl has such a large audience, companies spend billions of dollars on thirty seconds of airtime and bring out their best advertising gimmicks to reach viewers. This year’s commercials had some strange creatures and plenty of celebrities. Hyundai’s “First Date” commercial amused audiences with humor and celebrity Kevin Hart. …show more content…
The father greets the date at the door and generously offers the keys to his car for their date. As the young couple leaves, the father turns the “car tracker” on his cell phone, allowing him to know where his car and daughter are at all times. The date continues and her father appears throughout the night in amusing places where only the girl’s date can see him. Toward the end of the night, when the young couple is sitting in the car at a scenic lookout, realistically up to no good, the father appears on the bottom of a helicopter ladder hovering over where the kids are parked. The date spots him and gets worried that he will be in trouble; then, he cuts the date short and takes the girl home. When the young couple arrives home, the dad answers the door triumphantly because he has protected his little

In a commercial shown this past Sunday during the super bowl featured what is described as a political statement. Although, the owner of the company 84 Lumber which produced this commercial is saying otherwise. Making the statement “My intent was to show that through struggles we will do anything we possibly can to make the world a better place for our children,” 84 Lumber’s CEO Maggie Hardy Magerko said. While she had said, many people are of course taking to social media to express either love or hate towards the company. Some even going as far as to cancel orders with 84 Lumber, because of the commercial. Nonetheless, the commercial aired during the super bowl but was only 90 seconds long and ended
A Superbowl commercial I thought was good was a Mountain Dew Kick Starter commercial. They made it very entertaining to watch. In the commercial they used a strange made up animal called a "puppy, monkey, baby." They combined 3 things that people liked, or thought was cute. They took all "three awesome things combined" and made it one. The puppy,monkey, baby just said it's name through out the entire commercial.
Many of us watch the Super Bowl to check out what we expect to be the most innovative and entertaining commercials of the year. Given the grand stage on which these commercials air, it is important that we analyze them in their proper context. Remember, this is a sporting event, one in which only men are allowed to participate (as athletes/coaches), where violent collisions are celebrated, and where most of the audience is male. Considering these gendered parameters, we should not be surprised that many of the 2012 Super Bowl commercials ooze hegemonic masculinity. In this post David Mayeda explores how a masculinity can be used to opress men and women alike.
The Super Bowl is one of America's favorite times of they year. Who doesn't want to watch the best two teams in the NFL verse each other to see who's champion? That's great and all but what is really special about the Super Bowl? The Super Bowl commercials is what I think pulls it off. A Super Bowl commercial is when major companies spend a lot of money for funny commercials that everyone will remember.There were a few good ones this year but by far, my favorite was the hotline bling commercial.
Budweiser creates numerous commercials every year to advertise to the public. Many of their well-known and most effective commercials have been aired during the Super Bowl. This is the one time a year ordeal where they can advertise to millions of people at a single instant.

Super Bowl commercials are always the one of the best parts of the Super Bowl. They persuade you to do or by something. They do this in a way that everyone loves, being funny. The commercials usually get attention, by being so funny. For instance, the skittles and Kia commercial were hilarious.

The first video that I found was a commercial for Sprite’s new campaign, “You Define Yourself”. For the commercial they hired a model that has vitiligo, Chantelle “Winnie” Harlow. She first made her presence in the fashion world being a contestant on Cycle 21 of America’s Next Top Model. Although she did not win the contest, many people and companies loved her and found her look to be very unique. Since being on “ANTM” she has modeled for brands such as: Desigual, Diesel, Swarovski and has been featured in magazines such as: Glamour, Complex, Cosmopolitan and Vogue Italia. In the commercial she speaks about how her first step in trying to get her career started she had a “fake it til you make it” attitude and she had to exude confidence that
Of course, the Super Bowl can be considered the most watched television recording in American history. As a result of withholding the attention of such a vast audience, many commercials are showcased during the Super Bowl games, creating a commodity in which those commercials are watched more than the Super Bowl games themselves. A mass amount of viewers can unquestionably be beneficial to advertisers seeking to sell their products and services. However, benefits are not the only things these ads invoke, detriment can occur as well, as seen throughout history among a variety of television commercials. The Coca Cola commercial, displayed during Super Bowl XLVII, is one of the most recent commercials that has been scrutinized. The Coca Cola
The Ming dynasty ruled China from 1368-1644 (Benton & DiYanni , 2014). It was one of the most stable and efficient dynasties of its time, sharing many similarities to the older Tang and Song dynasties. The Forbidden City was the imperial palace complex used by the emperors to govern the entire kingdom. The complex was constructed, from 1406 until its completion in 1420, all under the rule of the Ming dynasty. It measures a staggering 960 meters from South to North and 750 meters from East to West taking up a total area of 720,000 meters.
The Wonderfilled Oreo commercial portrays two worldwide known children stories with an alternate happy ending twist. Oreo cookies are formed by cream centered inside of two chocolate sandwiches. Throughout the advertisement, typed lyrics of the Wonderfilled Oreo Anthem were featured continuously filling up the screen. In the animations, the audience can see an unrealistic combination of friends which the real world portrays as unlikely. Some of the characters he uses are memorable cartoon characters that at least half of the world has heard about in their childhood.

When Montag was on the train traveling to Faber’s house he got distracted by an ad that kept catching his attention. This wouldn’t really matter if Montag was not trying to memorize Ecclesiastes. The ad went like this, “Denham’s does it”(Bradbury 75). In the modern world, thousands of commercials are aired on television everyday and are equally distracting. The biggest day of the year for commercial airing is when the Super Bowl is broadcast live to the nation. Most of the commercials use techniques to persuade viewers into buying their product. The ad that is explained in the quote below was for the brand Mountain Dew and they used celebrity appeal to sell to all ages. One technique used this year according to NPR was, “Totally cool, totally hot and totally fun all at once — a rare hat trick for Super Bowl ad makers, who are often too intimidated by the Big Stage to let their hair down and produce something that feels really fun”(Deggans). They used hip music, comedians, and the favorite television god, Morgan Freeman. To catch the eyes of everyone watching it they made it looks like Mountain Dew was the best drink to drink because Morgan Freeman and Missy Elliot drink it. Without using these celebrities, Mountain Dew probably would only sell their new product by using word of mouth. Therefore, the impact of
Social workers have the ability to impact children, families and communities on a grand scale. My hope is to make a difference in the lives of people who are struggling to attain basic human necessities. I have worked in the social work field for the past ten years and am currently a first year MSW student.

I am currently completing my foundation year internship in a public housing community and I have observed the needs of the community and the lack of resources available to
