2007 Super Bowl Commercials

2007 Super Bowl Ads

Probably the most interesting thing about the commercials displayed during the 2007 Super Bowl was the Doritos Crash the Super Bowl contest. Amateur filmmakers from all across the nation filmed and submitted clever and witty commercials with the goal of making it to the prime time advertising slot. Directors simply had to submit a 30 second video advertising Doritos in a fun and thoughtful way and the public could view the contestants online and vote for their favorite. Five finalists got their ads placed on the air along with a special VIP viewing of the live event. This contest was highly publicized and many people contributed to the voting, making this competition a very successful first, and most likely, a leader in challenges to come.

2007 Super Bowl Ad Ratings

Unlike regular television shows, one cannot simply refer to the Nielsen ratings in order to find out how popular a certain commercial is. Aware of the need for this daunting task, USA Today got together 238 adults across the country to view each Super Bowl commercial and map their second-by-second reactions. Positively dominating the top ten, Budweiser and Bud Light held an impressive seven of the ten spots with runners up from Snickers, Doritos and FedEx. Amazingly, Anheuser-Busch spent roughly 10 million dollars on ads for its subsidiaries Budweiser, Bud Light and Bud Select. By far the top company for spending, it is certainly no wonder they secured the majority of the favorite spots.

According to Time magazine, we all know ‘the real reason we watch the Super Bowl’ and of course, it’s the commercials. Online you can find a wealth of previews, reviews and clips from the ads of 2007. Some sites rate the best and worst of the 2007 ads, while others show the commercials in their entirety for your viewing pleasure. Sites like YouTube.com and IFilm.com will quickly and efficiently find the specific ad you are looking for simply by searching with keywords. One aspect that is a slightly more popular just after the game airs is that you can find your favorite commercial online and cast your vote for it, as well. One thing is for certain; whenever the game is played, be prepared for chats over the water cooler the next day about whether or not Bud Light delivered a great ad or if SalesGenie.com should have just saved their pennies instead of wasting 30 seconds of everyone’s time.
