The Top 10 Super Bowl LI Commercials
Whether you’re a football fan or not, you probably watched some of the Super Bowl last night. It could be because of the Super Bowl party you were at, Lady Gaga’s halftime show, or simply because of the commercials. Super Bowl LI brought viewers a Super Bowl game for the ages, and Lady Gaga pleased the crowd, but did the commercials compare?
Let’s take a look at the top 10 Super Bowl LI commercials.
Honda uses old celebrity photos to encourage us to chase our dreams.
Using pre-celebrity photos from Tina Fey, Robert Redford, Amy Adams, Earvin “Magic” Johnson, Steve Carell, Missy Elliott, Stan Lee, Jimmy Kimmel and Viola Davis, Honda shows us that it is okay to dream, and fail sometimes, as long as you keep moving forward toward that dream.
Skittles reminds us that no one can resist the romance of rainbow.

Hyundai brings the Super Bowl, and their families, to the troops.
The most heartfelt commercial goes to Hyundai.

This commercial had some risks as well, since it was shot during the actual game.
Budweiser shows the ambitious journey of their immigrant founder.
Budweiser literally launches themselves into the timely political conversations over immigration with the story of Adolphus Busch, Budweiser’s German immigrant founder. This commercial definitely got people talking.

Terry Bradshaw and Tide land on the trending topics list.
