The 15 Best Super Bowl 2013 Commercials (VIDEO)
Rating the big game’s top ads is an annual rite. From Amy Poehler’s Best Buy turn to Budweiser’s Clydesdale tale to Volkswagen’s (controversial) man with the Jamaican accent, see the showdown’s best commercials.
These advertisements will make you laugh, cry, and, well—mostly laugh some more, from the touching Clydesdale reunion to an even feistier-than-normal Amy Poehler grilling a Best Buy employee. Get those nachos ready and settle in for a rerun of The Daily Beast-certified best Super Bowl Commercials And Best TV Commercials
Half
the battle is making it through this ad without crying. In this Jeep
ad, the company salutes the return of American troops, with the message
“America is home again”—complete with an Oprah voice-over. “Because when
you’re home, we’re more than a family—we’re a nation,” Oprah narrates
over images of American soldiers returning home. “It was a moment that
resonated to my core,” Oprah tweeted about the ad.
Would you strike a deal with the devil (in the form of Willem Dafoe
with sharpened fingernails) for a shiny new Mercedes? It’s nothing that
hasn’t been done before, and this guy is highly tempted.
It’s
totally OK if you teared up a little at this. Not that we did. But this
classic rearing-to-separation-to-reunion tale of a Clydesdale and its
owner was truly touching. Remember Christian the lion, anyone?
Classic
girl-meets-boy love story with a twist. Short and sweet, it made it
onto the list because “Nothing beats an astronaut” may be one of the
greatest Super Bowl commercial ad taglines in recent history.
In case there was any doubt about Best Buy’s customer service quality, Amy Poehler tested it out. But first, won’t he unbutton his shirt a bit?
In case you thought Americans were friendly, keep in mind that even a touch of Jamaica can brighten anyone’s day. Yah, mon.
It’s absurd that advertisers can’t say “Super Bowl” during commercials, according to Seth Rogen and Paul Rudd. In talks with Samsung
they come up with some very, very close, and highly entertaining,
alternatives. Baltimore Black Birds, perhaps, and the San Francisco 50s
Minus One works just as well.
Super
Bowl, schmuper bowl. This cool dad has more fun playing princess (with a
Doritos incentive) than downing brews with the bros. Makeup and all.
Cars.com, Dramatic Focus Group
Because
nothing is better than a hidden camera, this hilarious sequel to
Cars.com’s “undramatic” car-buying extravaganza will make you want to
join some focus groups.
Have
you ever dreamed of an epic race through the desert, complete with a
camel caravan, cowboy gang, tour buses of headdress-clad women, and
motorcyclists, all advancing toward a giant bottle of Coke? Neither have
we. But after Coca-Cola’s rendition of one, Pepsi has some work to do.
As a Wheat Thin owner, you’re bound to get a little paranoid, but this guy really takes it up a notch—and for good reason.
This
makes us feel a lot better about getting old. These old folkies have
the time of their lives once the lights go out. From the clubs to the
tattoo parlors to the bar bathrooms, this looks like an epic night on
the town.
Go Daddy, Your Big Idea
It’s
a small world—especially when everyone’s stealing your idea.
Originality is key for a memorable Super Bowl commercial, and the
combination of accents and scenery makes this a keeper, even if it isn’t
especially funny.
Hyundai, Team of Kids
Don’t get on the bad side of these pint-size warriors. Especially not the bear-wrestling one.
