Morvil’s Super Bowl Ad MVP’S

With our nation’s second holiday of the year, Super Bowl XLVI, behind us it’s time for us to analyze the most important factor of the big, huge, enormous game…the ads. Yes, the game between the Giants and Patriots was an exciting nail-biter that had us captivated to the last fleeting seconds, but we at Morvil were watching for the Super Bowl ads. Were they a disappointment or a resounding success? Find out below.

The theme that dominated this year’s ads was undoubtedly of the canine variety. From them getting fit, running with Sketchers sneakers to fetching Bud Light, we all experienced our more than necessary, in my opinion, dose of dogs. I felt so bad for the pup that had to continually fetch Bud Lights at the call of “Here We Go,” knowing that the abundance of beer guzzlers at the party would lead to shear exhaustion. Poor guy.

I’ve gone around the office a week after the big game to ask my co-workers about their favorite Super Bowl ads. One thing I found out was that those at Morvil weren’t that impressed with the ads this year. Generally, I wasn’t amazed either. However, I managed to get the crew to tell me which one’s they enjoyed  and their opinion on them.

Odette, who sits next to me, found the Sketcher’s French Bulldog ad to be her favorite. The point behind her decision being that, besides being cute and funny, the commercial actually incorporated what it was selling into the ad. I couldn’t agree more, some ads are just trying to be humorous and not sell a product. This did both.

Maria found the Honda Ferris Bueller commercial funny because it reminded her of the original film. I thought this was a good ad, but it needed more original characters! Where was Cameron!?

Brian Fenderbosch liked this Toyota ad because it was completely zany. He particularly liked the ice cream DMV part and the baby time machine that doesn’t poop. All of those would be nice to have in the real world, actually.

Amy loved the E-Trade baby commercial with the father looking in on the newborns. I have to admit this to someone, so why not the entire Internet? Those babies creep me out.

Brian Reed didn’t even see the Super Bowl! What!? And he calls himself an American! Oh well, he said he was driving and got caught in traffic. I guess he was in Tennessee or something…?

David and Jenna all like the Dorito’s ad with the Great Dane killing the cat while keeping the owner quiet with bags of Doritos. These two Morvil workers are just sick, depraved people. We keep them together in a wing downstairs. No, I’m totally kidding.

Finally, the main man Jeff Morvil enjoyed the Clint Eastwood Chrysler ad because it was bold, political and social. But he did admit he didn’t care for the fact that it was actually filmed in Hollywood and not Detroit. Someone on Twitter made a funny comment after this originally aired. “Is Clint Eastwood running for President? Of Detroit!?” he tweeted. I thought that was hilarious.

As for me? Well I enjoyed the movie spot for The Avengers. I’m a huge nerd. But I also really like the America’s Got Talent ad with Howard Stern. I’m a fan of his and this was directly to the point and quite funny.

So what was your favorite Super Bowl ad this year? Were you disappointed or happy with them? Post in the comments below.
