Week 5 EOC: Superbowl Commercial



So far and away the best commercial of the super bowl was the GoDaddy.com commercial with the nerdy dude making out with the hott girl.  It was also the most controversial because the kiss lasted for so long and the sound was really intense, once again proving that sound is the most important thing in the a production like that and I’m in the right business. "Go Daddy always stood for sexy. We said, you need to stand for more, you need to stand for smart," this is a quote from the commercial’s director who they hired specifically for the commercial. (http://www.buzzfeed.com/tessastuart/go-daddys-superbowl-kiss-creator-defends-the-cont)  To be honest I think its genius while others thought that it was disgusting, but you remember it don’t you?   “On Tuesday, GoDaddy revealed that the Monday following the Super Bowl was the biggest sales day in the history of the company. “(http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/05/go-daddy-super-bowl-nerd-kiss-ad-biggest-sales-day-ever_n_2623541.html)  So there you go advertising does work and when you do it right it works well.  I don’t understand why people hated on it so much, you know what superbowl commercials are, you know that they are supposed to be funny.  What happened to our sense of humor as people?  Oh she’s hot and he’s kinda a nerd it could never happen in real life.  That’s why it was so hilarious!!  Somehow according to popwatch.com 77% of people voting said that it was the worst commercial.  Now I’m thinking that’s a good and a bad thing.  The most important thing is to be memorable and honestly it’s the only commercial that I remember and I wasn’t even drinking during the game.  They are always know for making commercials like this, honestly I think some of the other ones are even worse.  The ones with Danica and Jillian in the shower or naked or being drawn on?  Why didn’t those create more of a negative buzz than this one, just because they’re making out?  Come on people grow up and get a fricken sense of humor!!!!
