As much attention as the epic Super Bowl XLIX matchup between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots received on Sunday, the accompanying commercials attracted a ton of buzz in their own right.
An extended trailer for Jurassic World debuted just after the coin toss, setting an epic tone from the beginning. Lindsay Lohan even made a surprise appearance in a humorous Esurance advertisement.
The best of the in-game ads brought out plenty of great reactions from the Twitterverse, too.
Blake McIver of Full House fame weighed in on the interesting TurboTax commercial presenting an alternate version of the American Revolution's history:
When Patriots quarterback Tom Brady threw a critical interception deep in Seattle territory, ESPN's Andrew Brandt had a funny take on the subsequent Brady Bunch-themed Snickers ad starring Danny Trejo and Steve Buscemi:
Just after Mindy Kaling starred in a Nationwide commercial where she thought she was invisible, she posted a timely photo to Twitter with Hollywood star Matt Damon, who made a surprise cameo:
B.J. Novak reached out to express his appreciation for Kaling:
The lost puppy in the Budweiser commercial that made viewers tear up sparked this comment from Joe Terrell of KLTV in Texas:
Lenovo United States replied directly to Budweiser:
McDonald's is taking a commendable imitative to provide customers with free food as long as they comply with a friendly request. It is called "pay with lovin'."
Comedian Jim Gaffigan may have had the tweet of the night in response:
ESPN's Darren Rovell feels the marketing strategy will be quite effective:
Enlisting the help of Breaking Bad actor Bryan Cranston dressed in his Walter White getup, Esurance delivered a similar concept to its earlier ad with Lohan.
Cranston's tease about the ad before it happened was noteworthy:
Esurance's illustration of Walter White was excellent:
Speaking of famous actors returning in familiar form, mobile phone game Clash of Clans had Liam Neeson channeling his Bryan Mills Taken character in a coffee shop with great success.
SportsMyriad's Beau Dure summarized how great the commercial was:
And there were other effective ads, as the Super Bowl XLIX lineup of commercials was quite strong overall. A good mix of humor, drama and ultimately effective message-delivering has to have the majority of companies that purchased expensive slots quite pleased.
The next Super Bowl has a lot to live up to in terms of both advertisements and the game itself, which was thrilling. Thanks to the quality of commercials, the breaks in game action were a welcome changeup to a special Super Bowl Sunday.
