While watching the brilliant
performance of the Broncos, I almost forgot to even pay attention to the
commercials. With this said, my favorite commercial that was shown, hands down,
had to be the one promoting the Audi R8 V10 Plus car. The commercial’s name was, “The
Commander”, and it sends us to the “moon” with a story of an astronaut who was
retired, but rediscovers his passion for life and powerful machines. The astronaut had been depressed sitting in his
house all alone. His son took him outside to this luxurious classy car and it
was like all the life had been put back into the man. As he got into the car and began to drive, it
reminded the man of how it felt to take off again in a spaceship. While this was happening, David Bowie’s 1972 hit track “Starman”
was playing in the background, and really set the tone of inspiration and
ingenuity. I liked this
commercial because it symbolized the innovation and class of the brand known as
Audi. Finally, seeing the brand’s new sports car in action captivated me, and
inspired me just like the astronaut in the commercial.
On the flipside, one
commercial did stand out to me that I thought was ridiculously weird. The
commercial was a Mountain Dew commercial, with named “Puppy Monkey Baby”. This
commercial to me was very odd and made no sense to me of how the Mountain Dew
brand related to this strange made up creator, “Puppy Monkey Baby”. It seems to
me that Mountain Dew was trying to just create attention with their customers
and make them wonder what the creator was while not actually focusing on the
product itself. For me though, it seemed very redundant and annoying, and didn’t
convince me to want to purchase Mountain Dew products.
