V NEWS The Battalion I 1.30.15 SUPER BOWL Commercials worth watching The Battalion assistant news editor Samantha King compiled the commercials during which you don’t want to take a bathroom break. Star-studded Wildcard Humor Heartwarmers Kia's commercial features Pierce Brosnan, aka James Bond, in a pitch meeting with a Kia advertiser. Bros nan keeps anticipating the commercial to have a typical James Bond spin, but at every turn the agent makes it clear the important action is the car, not snipers, missile launchers or explosions. T-Mobile Kim Kardashian West stars in this mock PSA, plead ing with users to "Save the Data” so they can con tinue to keep up with her online. She ensures viewers that by saving the data they'll be able to view her important updates like what outfit she's wearing that day, what make up she's using, her vacations 1 Coca-Cola Though Coca-Cola's official ad will not be released until game day, a few teaser trailers were released in the days leading up to it. They feature the hashtag #MakeltHappy and messages about behavior on social media. Danica Patrick, race-car driver, makes an appearance to talk about some of her problems with bullying on social media, and ensure people are thinking before they post. BMW BMW's commercial advertises their new electric car, BMW i3. It opens with a flashback to a "Today Show" segment from 1994 in which Katie Couric and Bryant Gumbel are discussing the newest advance ment of the time — the Internet. Couric asks some one offscreen, "Can you explain what internet is?” before the scene cuts to today. The reporters are driving together in the BMW i3, discussing its new features and parodying themselves 21 years ago. r Snickers Snickers continues its "you're not you when you’re hun gry” campaign with a "Brady Bunch" parody. Marcia Brady, the feminine and girly older sister, is replaced by Danny Trejo in a full leather ensemble, ax in hand. After eating the Snickers, Marcia returns once again to her beautiful, level-headed self. Before the commercial ends, though, Steve Buscemi makes his debut as Jan Brady. Doritos Doritos has chosen to let their fans make and vote on the ads for this year. A front-runner in the past, expectations are high, but the participants did not disappoint. The en tries were narrowed down to 10, and then voted on using webcam facial recognition technology, alerting Doritos to how the viewers reacted. From lemonade stand auc tions, flying pigs and a man child, each of the finalist ads were la ugh-out-loud worthy. Voting is closed, and the winner's ad will be released during the game, but which ever one of the 10 won, it must have been close. Toyota Toyota's ad features Amy Purdy, U.S. paralympic team snowboarder, and a voiceover of Muhammad Ali delivering a powerful speech. The ad follows Purdy as she tries to succeed in several challenges, including snowboarding, ballroom dancing and mountain biking. Purdy really emulates Toyota's campaign, #OneBoldChoice. Budweiser Budweiser's Super Bowl ads have become highly anticipated, and its iconic Clydesdale puppy duo re turn in this year's ad. The two begin as close friends, but are separated by an unfortunate accident. The puppy travels far to return home, and after facing obstacles like rain, mud and even a wolf, the unlikely friends reunite happily. STAFFPICKS Who's going to win the Super Bowl? Brandon Wheeland Sports Editor Seahawks 38, Patriots 17 Tom Brady looks deflated in the final Super Bowl appearance of his career as Seattle pulls away in the second half. A&M’s Michael Bennett and the “Legion of Boom” give strong defen sive performance. Super Bowl MVP Marshawn Lynch tells reporters he is “Going to Disney World so he doesn’t get fined. ” Carter Karels Sports Assistant Editor Patriots 27, Seahawks 16 Tom Bae-dy will receive a Bundchen of “Pats-on- the-back” when he Belich- icks off his fourth Super Bowl victory. If Russell Wilson managed to throw four picks against the Packers defense at home, hell have a lot of trouble in the air with no real threat at receiver fac ing two sharp cornerbacks in Darrelle Revis and Brandon T Browner. | The Pa- | tnots D will win WSm T this one. HALFTIME CONTINUED performance a necessity. Glover referenced Be- yonce’s 2013 halftime per formance and the Internet media’s response to an im age that surfaced of the singer “hulking out,” or an unflattering picture of the singer while intensely danc ing. “With this technology, even a half of a second of your performance can be scrutinized,” Glover said. “On the whole, Beyonce’s performance was one of the best Super Bowl halftimes I’ve seen.” Glover said Katy Perry is a great fit for the Super Bowl. “I think in the context of the Super Bowl, it’s very much about aesthetics,” Glover said. “I think she’s a performer, she knows how to put on a show and really work in that space, to play to that kind of a crowd.” Glover said Perry’s ap peal is very marketable to the large audience that the Super Bowl attracts. “I think it’s easy to proj ect yourself onto Katy Per ry, as opposed to Lady Gaga or Rihanna, for a lot of peo ple,” Glover said. “I think she’s easily digestible for a wide audience. I think she is good for the Super Bowl because the Super Bowl is trying to offer all things to every person.” Wendi Bellar, telecom munication media studies graduate student, said the Super Bowl is a culture of its own. “So you don’t have to be a football fan to watch the Super Bowl, you don’t have to be a music fan to watch the halftime show,” Bellar said. “It’s really a place and an event where all these dif ferent sub-cultures of pop culture come together into one big viewing.” Rumya Putcha, assistant professor of music and per formance studies, said the Super Bowl uses the half time show to further estab lish its own brand as “quint- essentiaUy American.” “It always has to be seen as a spectacle,” Putcha said. “I think that Katy Perry on one hand is seen as this all- American girl, but then also tests the provocative. She really fits the brand of what the Super Bowl is, which is to appeal to the broad American’audience.” Place an Ad Phone 979.845.0569 Suite L400, Memorial Student Center Texas A&M University When to Call 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday Insertion deadline: 1 p.m. prior business day VISA TTPr ,.f / ! i j ; M 1 see ads at thebatt.com < ; i : U U H u Icncrj Icrtcrq Fc-ufVj j riziGzx pT3 Private Party Want Ads $10 for 20 words running 5 days, if your merchandise is priced $1,000 or less (price must appear in ad).
