Super Bowl Commercials 2015: Postgame Twitter Reacts to Top Ads, Movie Trailers

Super Bowl 2015 truly had everything.

An unbelievable halftime show, back-and-forth, heart-stopping football, a Rob Gronkowski touchdown and Marshawn Lynch rumbling and stumbling for yards few other backs could've picked up.

It also had an epic finish, a miracle catch from Seahawks receiver Jermaine Kearse to put Seattle within comeback striking distance, and a denial of said miracle with Malcolm Butler's goal-line interception in the final seconds that delivered a 28-24 win for the New England Patriots over the Seattle Seahawks.

Aside from the berserk action, several Super Bowl commercials and movie trailers lived up to the hype, ensuring this most American of spectacles had wall-to-wall entertainment. 

The game did get off to a bit of a slow start, but the paid advertisements saved a global audience from complete boredom. An early winner was a Turbo Tax commercial with a revisionist take on early American history. Hard to forget the sight of George Washington uncrossing the Delaware River.

Men in Blazers, a pair of British soccer commentators, were a bit scared by the commercial:

While the Charlotte Observer's Jonathan Jones was left unconvinced:

Wu-Tang Financial felt no love for the Redcoats:

Still, it was a well-done spot with a playful tone. Snickers had perhaps one of the funniest commercials of the Super Bowl, with Danny Trejo channeling his Machete persona and Steve Buscemi making a fine late cameo in an advertisement centered around The Brady Bunch.

Bleacher Report has a look at the spot:

Sports Rants' Anthony DiMoro felt it would be a difficult ad to top, and it appeared during a break in the first quarter:

Avocados from Mexico—easily the Chris Matthews of companies in this game, coming out of nowhere to compete with heavyweights like Doritos, Snickers and more—delivered a well-conceived ad focused on the "first draft" from roughly 4 billion years ago.

Washington Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins was a big fan:

As for movie trailers, Furious 7 brought the goods with a high-octane teaser from whatever physics-defying alternate dimension their movies take place in. Here's a look at the trailer:

SportsPickle had a minor quibble, regarding the name of the film itself:

Esurance tapped Bryan Cranston to reprise his Walter White role, and Adweek almost had to take a break from the game to binge-watch Breaking Bad:

SB Nation poked fun at the concept of the ad, which had Cranston/White decked out in his instantly recognizable safety garb, but playing the role of a local pharmacist:

Speaking of growling, dangerous middle-aged men, Liam Neeson channeled his Taken character's threatening speeches for the gaming app Clash of Clans. Truly, it would be an honor to go toe-to-toe with Neeson in a video game, but you should probably ask BigBuffetBoy85 how his contest went first:

Comedian Patton Oswalt was ready to declare it the king of Super Bowl ads this year:

While Good Morning America dropped a nice Taken reference:

The world got a look at Ted 2, bringing back Mark Wahlberg and the eponymous teddy bear for a hilarious spot that featured the eventual Super Bowl MVP, Tom Brady. Seth MacFarlane provided a link to the trailer (warning: NSFW):

The Nation's Dave Zirin respected the advertisement:

Not every commercial will prove to be a smash hit, and Super Bowl 2015 certainly had its fair share of clunkers and downers. Still, several spots lived up to expectations, and most of the movie trailers did a fine job of whetting viewers' appetites.

Each company paid a pretty penny to get their brand in front of the people's eyeballs, and it will be interesting to see which ones have a lasting impact on consumers' tastes.
