While I didn’t watch the Super Bowl this year—except for the last 10 minutes or so to see the Chiefs win—I did see a few of those special Super Bowl ads.
Years ago, watching the ads created just for the year’s biggest football game was a treat. I know people who watched the game just to see the ads! Sadly (to me), the last few years have seen the politicization of almost everything, including the advertisements during the Super Bowl. WHY???? Can’t we leave one thing alone and just concentrate on being happy, a little crazy, and entertained? Can’t we just tear up as Busch and the Clydesdales honor our military, and can’t we groan a little over Doritos stupid, slapstick message and not have to worry about what side to take on the politically correct notions blasted into our living rooms? Whew! Rant over.
This year, from what I saw, we got back to that entertainment factor.
So the favorite Super Bowl ad I saw was for Alexa. I don’t have an Alexa and don’t want an Alexa, but I could appreciate the idea of what we would have done before it was available. What we did for “Alexa” through past ages was clever and made me laugh—just the kind of advertising I will remember! Thank you, Amazon!

I agree with setting the politics aside to have a little fun. I didn’t watch the game, either, but I did see the video you chose, on You Tube. I don’t have Alexa but the video was cool.
I thought it was very clever. Kudos to Amazon!
agree with entertainment rant. Seems we liked some of the same ads.
Hey, Helen. Thanks for commenting!
