So on Sunday of this week there was a massive showcase for creative and entertaining commercials on NBC. Oh, and there was also a football game.
Want to see all the commercials that you missed? Sure you do! Here are a few ways you can do so:
- Official YouTube AdBlitz page
This is where YouTube posts all the ads from the SuperBowl. I believe they are in the order presented here. - Vox’s Blog On Super Bowl commercials.
Presented in alphabetical order with a bit of commentary. - USA Today’s AdMeter rates the commercials
Here’s where USA Today presents the commercials in order of most to least popular with the AdWatch panel of 7,000 “ad enthusiasts.”
Here’s the challenge to my blogging students:
Post a blog entry by midnight tonight featuring two-to-five Super Bowl commercials in it. Make sure you embed the ads in your blog. You can analyze them, find a common theme, mock them, praise them, be offended by them, cry with them, laugh with them, scream at them… You get the picture. Make the most interesting and creative blog post you can.
Then…
Starting on Wednesday, I’m going to do everything I can to help publicize your posts, and give people the opportunity to vote for their favorite one. Each of you will also have the opportunity to vote for your favorite post (other than your own, of course).
On next Tuesday, the author of the most popular post will receive a small prize. Plus bragging rights.
