Super Bowl Ads 2011

Well if you didn’t know already the Steelers lost in this year’s super bowl by a score of 31 to 25. It was a good game for sure and great to see Pittsburgh in it, but like most people I watch the Super Bowl for the commercials. With an average US audience of 111 million viewers, this was the most-watched Super Bowl as well as the most-watched progam of any kind in American television history, beating the previous record of 106.5 million viewers for Super Bowl XLIV. The game drew a national household Nielsen rating of 46.0 and a 69 share. That is sure a lot of eyes on the TV so having your brand in a commercial during the game can mean big things. Of course there is a price and this year the cost was said to be 3 million dollar for a commercial during the game.

Honestly I think some of the ads were great and some were just horrible. I would have really liked to see some more tech ads, but there were not that many. Anyways here are some of my favorite ads from this year.

I love Peter Stormare and this commercial is just great!

Interesting to see a mattress company advertise during the Super Bowl, but they did a great job on this commercial and it definitely caught people’s attention
