The New York Giants shocked the world last night as the underdogs beat the favored New England Patriots 17-14 in Super Bowl XVII, and Eli Manning kept the Super Bowl MVP in the family, making it the first Super Bowl in a few years that I wasn’t just sitting around waiting on the commercials.
So what about the commercials this year? Did they measure up to the hype. I, for one, think not.
First of all, as I said, we finally had an exciting Super Bowl. Secondly, many of the ads seemed over-produced, perhaps because advertisers know that watching the Super Bowl for the commercials has become such a tradition in American households that they are trying a bit too hard to grab our attention.
So what were the top Super Bowl ads in this year? It depends on who you ask. Several sites have their top picks. These are the top 10 according toUSA Today Ad Meter.
