Great commercials! Or not so great! Just in time for the Superbowl, let’s talk commercials!

Well that made me bust a tear. To my dying day I will never understand bigotry or racism, never.

They have been showing that one around here for a few weeks. Very sad, but uplifting.

This ad is indeed great, and I'm so glad they're airing it during the Super Bowl.

did you all just see that horrid Kennedy commercial?

[AndyinPA]

Which Kennedy? Robert?

[Frater I*I]

Which Kennedy? Robert?

Yes.

The Kennedy commercial was weird.

[Slim Cognito]

That it was. Overall, I think the commercials mostly sucked but I did like the state farm commercial.

re: the kennedy ad, rfk is disowning. Despite it being his pinned tweet!

I'm so sorry if the Super Bowl advertisement caused anyone in my family pain. The ad was created and aired by the American Values Super PAC without any involvement or approval from my campaign. FEC rules prohibit Super PACs from consulting with me or my staff. I love you all. God bless you.

Apparently it was modeled on another famous Kennedy's ads.

The ad:

Our momentum is growing. It’s time for an Independent President to heal the divide in our country.

R.F.K. Jr. Apologizes to His Family for an Allied Group’s Super Bowl Ad

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/11/us/p ... wl-ad.html

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. apologized on Sunday night after a well-funded super PAC backing his independent presidential campaign ran an ad during the Super Bowl that closely resembled a spot supporting John F. Kennedy, his uncle, during his 1960 bid for the White House.

The ad, which the super PAC’s co-founder said cost $7 million, featured the same jingle and the same cheerful cartoons interspersed with candid photographs of the candidate, into which the younger Mr. Kennedy’s face was superimposed.

Some of Mr. Kennedy’s family members, many of whom have denounced him because of his promotion of unsubstantiated theories about vaccines and other matters, quickly criticized him over the ad.

Bobby Shriver, a nephew of John F. Kennedy, said on X: “My cousin’s Super Bowl ad used our uncle’s faces — and my Mother’s. She would be appalled by his deadly health care views. Respect for science, vaccines, & health care equity were in her DNA.” His brother Mark Shriver wrote that he agreed.



Super Bowl ads are often heavy on nostalgia. Commercials on Sunday night featured vintage Volkswagen footage, a “Scrubs” reunion, and Ben Affleck and Matt Damon in Boston.

But the Kennedy ad — which took about 36 hours to produce, according to the super PAC’s co-founder, Tony Lyons — hit a different note. While John F. Kennedy was running in 1960 as a 43-year-old Democrat, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is 70 years old and running as an independent — a self-described spoiler. (Despite Mr. Kennedy’s age, the ad still portrays him as youthful and athletic, including a shot of him on skis.)

Were I a cynical person, I might hazard a guess that was the plan all along.

Not being a fan of football, I missed this commercial back in the day.

On January 30th, 2000, beloved characters from MGM’s “The Wizard of Oz” made an appearance during a FedEx ad for “Super Bowl XXXIV.”
This ad would later be pulled from cable on February 14th, after numerous complaints that it may give children the impression that it was
“OK to huff inhalants.”

That's hilarious on multiple levels
