Although I don't usually watch the Superbowl, sometimes it does have some pretty cute commercials. I have to say that my favorite ones this year were the one with the German engineers and the one with the weird chihuahua dog things. They were both very funny and playful, in my opinion- a bunch of serious-looking engineers suddenly sprouting wings during the middle of work, and a bunch of teensy-bodied dogs with huge heads terrorizing people. Both of those things aren't really ideas that show up that often, and the unique-ness of them added to the funniness, because they aren't things you see in most other commercials. I also really liked Axe's commercial about making peace and love and not war, but due to the intense sexism that I've seen spew out of their commercial 99.9% of the time, I can't say that any of their commercials would ever be one of my favorites.
However, I have to say that the commercial I liked the least was the sodastream commercial. The introduction had the vibe of a generic commercial for hair or makeup, and the random closeups of Scarlett Johansson with that deep voice saying who-knows-what just made me a little annoyed. I like Scarlett a lot, but it's hard to take her seriously in a commercial with her sipping soda through a straw. Overall the commercial made kindof annoyed and confused. Also, saying "Sorry Coke and Pepsi" was kindof odd, considering that I've never even heard of Sodastream before, and that statement just made it sound like they were trying too hard to be the best ever. Maybe that's just my personal opinion, though.
