The Most Depressing Super Bowl Commercials Ever

While not quite the annual tradition it should be, we do periodically round up the millions upon millions invested in Super Bowl advertising. And, for me, beyond the string of not-quite-inspirational, downright depressing, and/or dad-centric commercials, the most memorable 2015 spots were Chevy encouraging folks to watch television behind the wheel and seeing Liam Neeson reprise his Taken character … to pimp an iPhone app. Speaking of recycled fictional characters, Walter White and The Dude also made appearances to further offset the overarching negativity.

Should opinions from my single household be insufficient, USA Today published their 7,000-person strong Ad Meter rankings and TiVo has provided second-by-second analysis of 30,000 DVRs. Plus, we’re always open to your thoughts in the comments below.
