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.

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.”
