I guess I missed the Snickers one, but the Doritos ultrasound one rocked.

Wasn't bad, but kind of disappointed they didn't continue with the title consistency. Reminds me of Jack Ryan.

Not that anyone remembers or cares to remember but I'm sure it's to distance itself from the last movie. Not to mention, hammer home the fact that it's Jason Bourne and not someone else filling in, in a movie with 'Bourne' in the title.

Saw the Doritos one last week, it was fantastic.

The Amy Schumer & Seth Rogen one was a misfire other than the "everyone loves Paul Rudd bit."

The Hulk & Antman Coke one was kinda cool.

The rest thus far have been forgettable.

Not sure what the point of the Prius commercial was. Our car is the choice for criminals?

Pretty sure it was promoting their gas mileage... or am I being Groucho'd?

Sound mix on the halftime show sounds terrible.

No, it's just the terrible music that you're hearing

So far this is the closest we have to a home run. That was a fantastic commercial. Very original, touching and football related.

Queen & Bowie take us to commercial with "Under Pressure" and that commercial is with Drake. One of these is not like the other.

Honda Ridgeline - Queen/sheep ad was solid.

Makes me wish Mercury was still around to put these Halftime acts to shame.

Helen Mirren

However I found it odd that her Budweiser wasn't facing the camera.

I think every actor in Hollywood was in a commercial during the game.

Re: Super Bowl 50 Commercials Discussion Thread

Will this become known as the year that killed the Super Bowl commercial concept? There were some ok commercials, but none were "Super Bowl commercials." Not in concept, not in length, not in scope.
