2011 Super Bowl Commercials

So, yesterday night was the Super Bowl and I was mostly excited to see what would be this year's BIGGEST ads. Some were cute, some were funny, some were good, some were better than others, and others were simply baaad - but 2011 did not deliver any ads that can truly fall into the ''sensational'' category or that will make history in the advertising industry. Nonetheless, here are my favorites:















Chrysler's ''Born of Fire'', featuring Eminem, and Best Buy, featuring Ozzy and Justin Bieber were the most talked about commercials. Though Ozzy was absolutely hilarious in the commercial, it seems that no one truly remembers what the commercial was about - oops. To finish off, Chrysler will probably be remembered as this year's best Super Bowl ad.

'1984' Apple Macintosh Commercial: Best Ad Ever?

This is the full video of '1984', the commercial released by Apple on 22nd January 1984, during the Third Quarter of Super Bowl XVIII.

This was it's only day time release; other screenings were in the cinema's.

The ad is based on George Orwells book 1984, in which society is controlled by Big Brother and is being watched/heard night and day. On top of this, they are fuelled with hatred for the past and other societies other than their own.

'1984' the commercial is based around one of the Two Minute Hate scenes, in which Apples case, the young woman in red shorts is suggesting Apple Macintosh will give people freedom in computing like never before (IBM was the main competitor at the time). The crowd of emotionless people are the members of the Big Brother society, taking in all the propaganda. The old chap in the large screen is Big Brother.
