I watched the Super Bowl and found an interesting and funny ad made by TurboTax. TurboTax is a company that does tax filling easy to do online. It started with the actor Sir Anthony Hopkins, who pretty much didn’t sell anything, but mentions a free service. He was just wearing TurboTax logo slippers and drinking out of a TurboTax mug, he even named his dog TurboTax.com. He targeted all the people who would be doing their taxes soon since it’s tax season. The commercial address how easy it is to use TurboTax. How easy and quick taxes can be done through the phone, plus it is free. CBS has pushed the cost of advertising the Super bowl to $4.5 million to $5 million for 30 seconds, A 60 second spot would double the cost for TurboTax. A 60 second
The next memorable ad in the campaign takes a different twist, because rather than promoting auto insurance, it promotes home insurance.

The Superbowl is one of the most widely watched television events in the nation every year. Unlike many other sporting events, the Superbowl is not watched by fans of the sport alone, but by just about anyone with access to a television.

My brother excluded, we did this not out of real interest for the sport of Football, but because we wanted to see all of the brand new (and hopefully emotionally arousing) commercials that air during the Superbowl. Through the years, the Superbowl has actually become known for this aspect. Recently certain websites have even began holding an annual ranking for the best and worst Superbowl commercials each year. Though I wasn’t particularly interested in the Superbowl last year, one commercial still stands out to me almost eight months later. It is a commercial for nflshop.com, and it seems to convey the story of a family that begins as Vikings fans but over time expands into a family of Vikings, Bengals, Eagles, Steelers, and Cowboys fans.

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.
