The first quarter of Super Bowl XLV saw a bunch of “meh” ads, and a few “yuck” ads.
Let’s take a look:
Bud Light: Home
Did you know the addition of Bud Light to a kitchen is a significant upgrade? Yea, neither did we.

Doritos: Cheese-Lover
A Doritos lover shows his affection for the cheesy chips by not letting go of the very last bit, even when he is not the one eating them. While his obsession with Doritos is obvious, the ad didn’t making us hungry for them.

Chevy Cruze: Misunderstanding
“Turn up the Volume!” A few seniors at a nursing home are hard of hearing and misunderstand an aide. A “meh” commercial.

Pepsi Max: Mean Wife
A pretty generic ad where the hard-nosed wife of a man won’t let him do a bunch of stuff but will let him drink Pepsi Max—until the guy glances at another woman. Let’s just say it doesn’t turn out well for the other woman...

Chevy Silverado
Volcano? Belly of a whale? We'll take it.

Pepsi Max: Bully and Nerd
Are all Pepsi Max commercials going to involve someone getting knocked out by a Pepsi Max can? In this ad, a “nerd” is denied a soda by a bully, but the nerd has something special up his sleeve: a cooler that shoots soda cans, two of which get shot at the bully.

Doritos: Grandpa
In this Super Bowl ad, Doritos bring back to life a fish and someone’s grandfather. (Grandpa?!) Doritos as the elixir of life? IS that really the message Doritos wants to send for its salty, fatty chips?

Kia: Epic Ride
Mutiple forces try to steal the car as it travels through time and dimensions, with the Kia meeting Poseidon, extraterrestrials, and what looks like either the Mayans or Aztecs. Pretty great visuals.

Brisk: Eminem
Eminem fans will love this spot. Makes me want to shut up and just drink Brisk.

Bridgestone: Reply All
Pretty funny commerical where an office employee tells another that he’s sent an embarrassing message “Reply All.” He goes on a rampage destroying ways people could receive the message: computers, servers, etc. Original and refreshing.
