"As has been the case for the last few years, basically every ad featured celebs and big-name actors selling out to help promote AI, donuts, crackers, and more. And almost all of it fucking sucked shit. It's depressing to watch talented actors sell out. So many of the ads were for awful products. Nothing about them was even fun or memorable."
"Many of the ads featured random assortments of celebs that seemed picked by rolling the dice. Worse, some of these ads used CG to de-age the celebs, compounding the horror. Many of the ads were too long and felt like nearly every marketing agency around the country has forgotten how to actually sell people stuff. The worst part of the night was Dunkin' Donuts attempt at making a joke about '90s sitcoms that seemingly started and ended with the same juice-less punchline:"
The Seahawks won Super Bowl 60 and Bad Bunny delivered an energized halftime performance. Many commercials leaned heavily on celebrities to promote products like AI services, donuts, and crackers, producing largely unfunny and forgettable spots. Several ads used CGI to de-age actors, creating eerie, unnatural visuals. Advertisements often assembled random celebrity casts, ran too long, and lacked effective product messaging. Dunkin' Donuts and Xfinity ran notable nostalgia- and de-aging-focused ads that drew negative reactions. The overall commercial lineup conveyed a decline in creative, persuasive advertising and prompted disappointment about talent sellouts and marketing choices.
