Top 5 Super Bowl Commercials from 2021

The Super Bowl is a mini film festival for advertising. I just watched all the Super Bowl commercials so you don’t have to. (In fact I spent longer watching Super Bowl commercials than I did the actual Super Bowl.)

For Comparison

To calibrate our ranking, let us remember the best Super Bowl commercial from the past 10 years. Tides ‘It’s a Tide Ad’.

Nothing this year was this good.

While none of the commercials reached that funny, clever, meme level this year, there were some good ones.

#6 Certain is Better — Rocket Mortgage

I was trying to do the top 5, but this one snuck in. Classic Super Bowl commercial. Famous actor. Funny. Very expensive scenes.

While no one will be quoting this in a few months, it makes the list.

The intentionally wrong phrase ‘Jimmys Johns’ might be the new ‘Mailkimp’
