Super Bowl LIX Highlights: Record Ad Prices, Celebrity Commercials, and Avoiding Controversy
Super Bowl LIX saw record ad prices, with a focus on humor and nostalgia while steering clear of controversy, alongside memorable commercials and notable flops.
Overview
As Super Bowl LIX concluded, the Philadelphia Eagles triumphed over the Kansas City Chiefs, with ad spots costing a record $8 million. This year, ads emphasized humor and nostalgia, largely avoiding controversy, reflecting a cautious approach following prior backlash against brands like Bud Light. Standout commercials featured celebrity pairings, including a humorous Michelob Ultra ad with Willem Dafoe and Catherine O’Hara. Google’s AI-themed ad resonated with viewers, while others struggled, such as the ill-received Tubi and Coffee Mate spots. Despite mixed results, advertisers aimed for engaging content to attract new customers in a competitive landscape.
