I thought this year was better than last year with ads. We’ve mentioned Jacobs which was well done. My top one was Google. I cried thinking about my wife’s grandmother who recently passed away.
 
I reluctantly rank Google tops. I am leery of them as a corporation but the commercial was great on several levels. Having lost one parent to cancer (remembering wonderful memories) and then the other parent to Alzheimer’s (using the device to help remember) choked up my wife and I.

I liked the Jeep commercial the next best. Groundhog Day is one of my favorite movies!

Agree with the Doritos and Jeep commercials as the best. The worst were the Tide commercials. If you are going to use that many spots, you need something better than "later".

I think I enjoyed the Doritos commercial the most. I mean, thinking that stuff up must be very difficult.

I was pretty bummed they didn’t show the full Winona add as much of it was filmed at a diner that I frequent in St. Paul. In fact, I had eaten there the day before filming and remember being confused by the handwritten signs that it would be closed from 9am-4:30pm the next day given it is a 24 hour diner. Then the news leaked out re: the Super Bowl spot.

 
Mountain Dew Zero Sugar, but mostly because I'm such a big Stephen King fan. Little details in the commercial that made fans happy. Plus, they followed up later on Twitter with a "version" of the commercial that only featured "Tony" (the imaginary friend Danny has that speaks through his index finger). Surprisingly detailed and weird. Must be some King/Kubrick fans at Dew's agency.

The Dew flooding out of the elevators at the end clinched it for me. :)

It's not the first campaign P&G has done that has left me underwhelmed or scratching my head.

Not sure you'd classify it as a commercial, but the little boy running the football at the beginning with everyone telling him to take it to the house for about two minutes and then he actually runs out of the tunnel with the game ball into the live stadium was pretty awesome.
