2021 Superbowl Ads

Does anyone have any thoughts about this years Superbowl ads? Seeing Spock Beavis And Butthead on Paramount Mountain was kind of funny.

The ones I found most compelling, clever, and/or memorable:
1.) Doordash - "Sesame Street", where you can easily order from your local Mom & Pop eateries and other businesses you see everyday walking down the street.

2.) Oatly - "No Cow", where the CEO sings a simple tune telling you how his oat milk uses "no cow".

3.) Toyota - "Amputee/Adoptee", where an adopted foreign baby whose condition necessitates amputating the legs becomes an American Olympic swimmer.

4.) GM - "Beating Norway", where GM promises the U.S. will overtake Norway in the highest percentage of electric vehicles.

5.) YouTube - mainly for a soft revision of The Kinks tune "Strangers".

6.) And this one seen in a local break, Jimmy John's - "Tony Bolognavich", sandwich mogul and strongman. :lol

I liked the M&M'S ad with Eugene Levy, the Toyota Amputee swimmer, the Will Ferrall GM ad, the Doordash Sesame Street ad, the one Huggies ad, and a few others.

The Oatly ad with their CEO singing and playing keyboard was strange. The guy's not that all that good of a singer. What's even weirder was the ad was actually filmed in the summer of 2014 and was banned by the dairy lobby in Sweden, where the company was based. It was low-budget so I don't expect much. They even knew how bad it was by selling free T-shirts on their website for those who loved or hated it. While considered the worst, it was an eyeopener for many.

The Jimmy Johns ad I'm pretty sure was national. It aired on my station.

I did like the Norway ad, I've had to explain to five people what Oatly is so I would say it raised awareness for the brand.

I think you meant David Levy and the m&m ad, unless I missed another one.

David Levy is probably who I'm thinking of.

Actually it's Daniel Levy. He just hosted SNL.
