Superbowl XL: Break 15
"Stunt City" | Degree for Men
Summary: The day gets going in Stunt City,
pop. 535,435 ... 535,434 ... 535, 433 ...
High Point: The angry young office worker who
grabs for his deodorant, through the medicine cabinet
glass. Because people in Stunt City are crazy
about their deodorant.
Low Point: A few seconds later, when he jumps
out his window and lands on an awning. Cuz that shit
never works.
Will this commercial soothe the minds of
scandal-weary Americans? No, because everyone knows that Stunt
City is wracked by graft and corrupt lobbying. And men
on fire.
"Crazy Palindrome" | Emerald Nuts
Summary: In a living room with a mid 70's aesthetic, an
elderly japanese man swings a Machete and a little man dressed as a
Druid talks on a telephone.
High Point: When the elderly Asian man is yelling YA! YA!
YA!
Low Point: Trying to remember the palindrome — in vain.
Will this commercial soothe the minds of scandal-weary
Americans? America will need everything it can get its hands on
to comfort themselves in light of recent scandal, including clever
palindromes and nuts.
"Paul McCartney Doing Things He Enjoys" | Fidelity Investments
Summary: Vintage photos and film footage of Paul McCartney
are spliced together. Apparently it has something to do with
investing.
High Point: None.
Low Point: None.
Will this commercial soothe the minds of scandal-weary
Americans? Commercials are largely overlooked at this point, as
viewers, having soothed their scandal-weary minds with beer and junk
food, now stumble to the restrooms during the break seeking to soothe
their Super Bowl-weary bladders.
