The Tear-Jerker Award: Google Pixel's "Dream Job" 😭
Google rarely misses. They make us cry EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
But here's the thing – they're not just making us emotional for the views. They're showing how their product fits into these heart-hitting moments.
Pfizer tried with their "Mama Said Knock You Out" spot, but Google said "hold my tissues."
The "Good But Not Great" Club 🤷
Nike: JuJu and Caitlin with that Zeppelin track? Fire. But the black and white treatment? Meh. It's giving B+ energy from an A+ brand.
Dove: Sweet concept, but needed more oomph. It's like they ordered emotional impact and got emotional impact lite™.
The "Oh No" Award: Cirkul 🤦
First Super Bowl ad? We can tell.
Using your in-house team instead of Super Bowl specialists? It shows.
They got star power but forgot the power part. And that giveaway? More confusing than my ex's text messages.
The Chef's Kiss: Hellmann's "When Harry Met Sally" 🤌
They brought back Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan for THAT scene. You know the one.
Even if you've never seen the movie, watching someone have a mayo-gasm in a deli is pure gold. Plus, the brand integration? chef's kiss
The "So Weird It Works" Award: Seal as... a Seal 🦭
Mountain Dew got SEAL to be an actual seal singing about limes.
The memes are writing themselves, folks.
"Kiss From A Rose" is now stuck in everyone's head, but make it lime-flavored.
The "What Was That Brand Again?" Award: The Sloths 🦥
Hilarious? Yes.
Memorable? Also yes.
Brand connection? crickets 🦗
Turned out it was Coors Light, but you probably had to Google that. Also, that fake typo campaign they tried? We see you, marketing team. We see you.
The Money Burn Award: ChatGPT 🔥
OpenAI said "let's make art" when they should've said "let's make an ad."
Beautiful? Yes.
Effective? About as effective as a dating app bio.
PS: The first comment on YouTube says “Running this AD was more expensive than Deepseek” 😭 😭 😭
The Crown Goes To... Disney's Lilo & Stitch! 👑
Listen, nobody saw this coming, and that's exactly why it WORKED.
When they hit us with that "Sorry folks, there's something down on the field" – pure genius.
Watching Stitch cause chaos (that cart crash though 💀) had everyone LOSING IT. Disney really said "hold my mai tai" and delivered.
