There were a surprisingly decent amount of good spots this year. But the days of gathering around the TV and hushing the room to watch seem to be over. Credit the need for digital clicks and views being just as, if not more, important than live viewers during the Super Bowl. That said, here are my Top 5.
1) Bryan CranstonĀ andĀ Aaron PaulĀ returnedĀ as Walter White and Jesse Pinkman fromĀ "Breaking Bad"Ā forĀ PopCorners. And they even brought back Tuco!
2) In hisĀ Crown RoyalĀ spot,Ā Dave GrohlĀ listed off numerous reasons to thank CanadaĀ for, like hockey,Ā Rush, peanut butter, and even the earliest version of football.
3) All that really matters is that Michael Keaton is back as Batman!
4) Ā In an ad forĀ Workday, Ozzy Osbourne,Ā Billy Idol,Ā Joan Jett,Ā Paul Stanley, andĀ Gary Clark Jr.Ā scoldĀ corporate typesĀ for calling each other "rock stars". This was the only one I had seen ahead of time. And it was still great!
5) Ben AffleckĀ worked theĀ DunkinĀ drive-thru in full uniform, with a Boston accent.Ā He's visited by wifeĀ Jennifer Lopez, who asks him for a glazed donut. Not a big fan of either, but this made me chuckle.
