Alright. So I heard there are a lot of good Super Bowl crypto commercials,
and I was at the game, as a lot of you guys know,
so I got no idea what commercials were on there.
I think FTX, Coinbase had one.
Beyond that, I'm not really sure.
So I have not seen these commercials at all.
So we're going to do a react video to all the Super Bowl commercials.
So let's go ahead and get started.
Here we go. Here, we got the first one.
We got a street background.
I mean, it looks like LA possibly.
Let's see what this is.
Oh, eToro. Meh!
♪♪
Okay. Okay.
♪♪
Very Gen Z commercial.
They got the--
they got the guy with the mustache.
You guys know mustache, mustaches,
I mean, they're very popular these days.
I mean, just look at that unbelievable mustache that guy has.
Apejohn. Okay, they're going with the apes here.
I know there's a lot of young people flying around in the waves.
They got the song right. They got the moon going.
eToro? I'm not really a fan of at all.
I don't-- too stock-heavy for me.
But, yeah, let's check it out and see what the rest says.
♪♪
~Imagine a community where millions share ideas~
Ah! The Shiba reference!
You all see the SHIB or the Dogecoin reference? You all saw that dog?
~crypto and beyond~
~Gentleman~
~In other words, eToro~
~the power of social investing~
So the eToro commercial, not too bad.
Pretty entertaining honestly. I could watch it again.
I think what it boils down to for me is,
you know, they're really trying to continue to push this narrative of young people, apes, moon,
like a lot of this stuff in crypto a lot of people don't like.
You know, but look, that's the mainstream.
That's what brings, you know, the culture in.
So, honestly, I think they did a pretty good job,
but I'm walking away from that video
not really understanding why I'm using eToro over anything else.
So, you know, as far as actual marketing goes,
maybe not the best job, but a very entertaining commercial.
I very easily could have watched that commercial and missed that it was even eToro, so.
Next one.
History is filled with almosts.
With those who almost adventured,
who almost achieved.
Okay, so this is the famous Crypto.com commercial.
Obviously, this is Matt Damon.
Much maligned Matt Damon
The mainstream people hate him.
They feel like he's an awful human for doing a Crypto.com commercial.
I'll be honest with you. I have seen this one before.
But, you know, this one was running before the Super Bowl.
Let's see if we pick up any new little Easter eggs here.
But ultimately, for them, it proved to be too much.
Then, there are others.
The ones who embrace the moment
and commit.
You know what I think about?
I think about all of the dead bodies strewn all across Mount Everest.
I don't know if you guys know there's dead bodies everywhere.
So look, I think if you're going to get into crypto, you've got to be brave,
but, you know, there are risks for sure.
And in these moments of truth,
these men and women,
these mere mortals,
just like you and me,
I hope you guys got the message here.
The message here is that, you know, if you're a nerdy incel
and you want to kiss a girl, you have to be brave.
as they peer over the edge,
they calm their minds
and steel their nerves
with four simple words that have been whispered by the intrepid since the time of the Romans.
Fortune favors the brave.
I like it!
I mean, I guess, I guess you say, that's a--
that's an oldie but a goodie.
You can check down here at the bottom, you can see the--
let me move that out of the way--
you can see the, you know, disclaimer.
Trading cryptocurrencies carries risks such as price volatility and market risks.
Before deciding to trade cryptocurrencies, consider your risk appetite.
Basically,
if you're a--
if you're not a brave person,
if you're scared,
you better stay home.
You know, they say scared money don't make no money.
I think it's great commercial. I really.
It feels inspiring.
Kyle Lowry!
Our next Bitbuy commercial is about missed opportunities.
Okay. For full disclosure, I don't even know what Bitbuy is,
but I do know who Kyle Lowry is, so this one's winning already.
So many Canadians wish they bought tech stocks or real estate.
Kyle Lowry plays for Toronto Raptors.
Obviously, won a championship there.
So, you know, this must be a Canadian site,
but a great way to go get a giant, you know, Canadian celebrity.
You know, maybe only Drake or I don't know who else might be a bigger celebrity.
Tom MacDonald?
Just 10 years ago.
It's happening again with crypto.
Bingo!
Here's the idea.
Now, I think that's really cool what they just did.
What they did there is they showed the returns from one year ago.
Now, that was when the price was at 60,000--
oh, it's Canadian dollars.
So you can see it's in Canadian dollars.
We got ETH at 4,700 CAD, but look at the percentages there.
Very tempting. Notice they put Solana. Why?
One of the No. 1 performers of the year.
Bingo!
Here's the idea.
Kyle Lowry has missed over 6,000 shots in his career.
Don't be like Kyle and miss your opportunity again
and again
and again.
Love this commercial. This is so funny.
I think, you know, if you guys remember the Michael Jordan commercial
from, I guess, the late 90s or early 2000s, you know.
He's like, "I took so many game-winning shots, and I missed almost all of them.
I only made this many, but you miss all the shots you don't take."
It kind of reminds me that.
- And again. - Seriously?
- And again. - Yeah.
And again.
Yeah.
Okay. In my opinion, this is the best one so far.
I really-- it really balanced, you know, showing what they do as an exchange,
showing crypto is a great opportunity,
and also, you know, very, very funny.
So they're the best one. ~TurboTax Live matches you with a tax expert who is right for you~
So you're a perfect match for a freelancer who just bought a home that's also her office?
That's right!
What if I actually have no idea how to freelance, but
I invest in crypto in my hometown of Gravity, Iowa?
Then I'd say you're down to earth and help you report your gains and losses.
What if I work in London, live in New York,
and shot a Super Bowl commercial in Los Angeles? Hmm?
Oh, this is funny. The Ted Lasso joke. I don't know if you've heard that one.
Then I'd say congrats.
I can sort that all out for you.
Thank you kindly.
Well, what if I--
what if I really am a freelancer who just bought a home?
Then you can still hand your taxes off to me to get your maximum refund.
Okay. So here's my problem with this commercial so far.
No. 1, it is a TurboTax commercial, so it's not a strictly-crypto commercial.
The idea of this and concept is really funny, but, you know, if you really get into this,
the first time there's a costume change and it's like mystery, you know,
revealed, I'm really this other person, like, it kind of seems to be throwing, like,
kind of some subliminal waves towards, like, people in crypto are scammers,
or people in crypto are pretending to be people that they're not.
Just kind of the same tired narrative we hear from the government and stuff like that.
And then they're like, "Hey, but we don't judge you if you're doing that,"
so, you know, kind of--
I'm not so down with this commercial.
And you say I'm reading between the lines here,
and I definitely am.
I call it the wheel!
Is that the guy from Borat?
Hmmm.
I don't think so.
What does it do?
- It rolls. - Yeah. So does a bagel, okay?
A bagel, you can eat!
Oh, that's Larry David.
One of the worst ideas I've ever heard.
Brother David, behold!
The fork!
I got 10 forks right here, baby!
- Huh? Am I right? - Yes!
- Huh? - Yeah!
Pretty good!
My lord?
Hmmm?
What is it?
A toilet, my lord!
A toilet?!
You expect this court to do its business inside?!
We're not animals!
~We go outside like humans!~ I see where this is going.
It's coffee.
It's new.
Ugh!
Oh, it's awful!
You don't like it?
I'm all jittery and I feel like I got a big job coming on.
Hancock, you sign first.
No king?!
Gentlemen, have you taken leave of your senses?!
The people shall have the right to vote!
- Even the stupid ones?! - Yes!
- Stupid people vote?! - Yes!
Edison, can I be honest with you?
It stinks.
Does your wife know what's going on here?
She knows I go to work.
You're wasting your time.
And it's sad.
You might as well put the dishes in the shower.
What?
Hey, Katherine! What's cooking?
We're putting a man on the moon.
Are you out of your mind?!
I can't even get tuna without celery!
Nobody's going to the moon ever!
Why not?
It's too far! It's far!
It's really far!
It's far!
This is a great commercial.
Like I was saying, it's FTX.
~It's a safe and easy way to get into crypto.~ Brilliant!
Brilliant!
Ehhh.
I don't think so.
And I'm never wrong about this stuff.
Never!
Brilliant commercial!
That is--
Franklin!
Hey! I left my cane in there!
What?! What do you mean? Hey!
That's an expensive cane!
I think that is a brilliant commercial.
I think what they did here, they set it up--
Now, I knew this was going to be a crypto commercial.
I didn't know it was FTX.
But they really set this up like old man yells at Bitcoin kind of thing.
Like, you know, they set it up to show how many times people have been wrong about things.
And, you know, I think it's a really, really, really magnificent commercial.
And it just shows, you know, there's always going to be haters.
There's always going to be doubters.
I mean, think about that guy that said people will never shop online.
You know, they'll always prefer brick-and-mortar.
We see how stupid that take was.
Just, you know, crypto is not going to be around as one of those long-term bad take, so.
Oh, they got a QR code.
This is a QR code I was seeing people talking about.
They're showing this somewhere.
Well, let's see what this is.
Is this the same commercial?
Because I thought that was a Coinbase commercial I thought people were talking about.
Let's see.
Let's see what this is.
Where does this go here?
Here we go. Let's check it out.
This is Coinbase. So this is Coinbase.
I heard that Coinbase crashed.
I didn't know this was the whole commercial.
This is really insane.
They paid millions of dollars for this.
But it works!
I scanned it, and it worked.
I think this is also great marketing.
I mean, people were talking about this.
I didn't realize this was the whole commercial, so.
Very, very, very interesting technique that they used here.
How long does this go on for?
Wow!
It looks like a little dragon in the middle of the QR code.
Maybe some glasses or some Hooters down there.
Oh, and then it just says Coinbase at the end.
I've got to say, once again, I think that's a great commercial.
I think if you go back to like the eToro ad,
just very standard commercial that people have seen forever.
It's funny. It doesn't really drive the point home of what it does or what it is.
Not really getting you to take actionable steps,
where you look at the Coinbase commercial,
this is probably honestly the most effective commercial out of all of them.
My only thing would be, like, if people don't know it's a Coinbase commercial
and they just scan that and pull up Coinbase,
like, how many of those people are actually going to download and use it?
I guess we'll just have to see what that is.
At least at the end, they do have the branding on there.
But the FTX, the Bitbuy and the Coinbase commercial,
I'm going to say these are the three best ones.
What do you guys think?
Drop your comments down below.
Let me know which Super Bowl commercial you like the best that had crypto in it.
And what do you think about my takes?
Alright, guys. That's all I got.
Be blessed.
BitBoy out.
