I haven't read anything on this, but man I thought the Super Bowl ads were the worst ever. There just wasn't any humor in them.
They all had these dramatic themes and were trying to make some artsy statement, but I remember just hoping they were over.
Two stood out to me:
The Coca-Cola ad seemed to try and make national headlines playing the "God Bless America." I thought this was them trying to tell me where they stood politically then about their product.
The American car ad that said to buy beer from Germany and phones from Asia was a pretty good pitch.
The Budwiser commercial with the Puppy and Horse was kind of cute but that's about it. They were pretty underwhelming overall just like the Denver offense.... and defense.

It was America the Beautiful, but who was paying attention anyway?
As far as the Chrysler ad, I really liked it. I saw some criticism of Dylan for "selling out" and that Budweiser and Weiss might have something to say about it, but it was probably my favorite ad of the night.

Not a huge Chrysler buff, but I enjoyed seeing such an icon willing to speak to jobs in America. Simple point, I don' think he sold out. He doesn't need the money.

Prince and Bob Dylan are from Minnesota, not michigan.

Totally agree that anyone complaining about the Coke ad is being ridiculous.
I just watched it in its entirety. LOVED IT. Especially it's self-deprecating humor.
Perfect for that retro bowl from the 80s last night.
Dylan supposedly "sold out" when he started writing personal/introspective songs instead of protest music in 1964. Then again when he went electric in 65, country in 69, gospel in 79 and on and on. His music and he can do with it as he likes. The Chrysler spot was really good but I thought the Doritos commercials were the best again this year. Overall though, not an outstanding year for the commercials. Much like the game, kind of flat, unless of course you were a Seahawk fan.

Oops. I knew it was one or the other. I guessed wrong

Sunday Morning addressed this. The Beatles were the Beatles by constantly reinventing themselves. It's the artists that stick with the same ole same ole that fade away.

A large number of people were upset that the "National Anthem" was being sung in multiple languages. So, there's that.
