- I think this is a really, really good commercial,
'cause you do wanna go back and pause the TV.
- To actually pause that, you have to be like, "Oh my god!
Give me the remote!"

- (FBE) So, the Super Bowl just happened here in America.
And it is tradition for us here on React to take a look
at some of the year's most talked about commercials
and see which one is your favorite. - All right. Definitely.
I did watch the Super Bowl, so I did see some of these commercials.
- I love to be advertised to. Most YouTube videos,
I don't skip the ads. I watch them all.
- I am very ready. - (woman) It's just flawless,
isn't it? - What is that?
- (woman) I mean, I literally couldn't imagine
a more beautiful vessel for Alexa to be...
inside. - Oh, drama! Oh!
- (woman) How many tablespoons are in a cup?
- ("Alexa") There are 16 tablespoons in a cup.
- Oh, he is a handsome man. Yes. (laughs)
- (man) Who's that? - (woman) Alexa,
turn on the sprinklers. - No.
- Imagine you get cheated on with a robot.
That would suck. There's no way to compare.
- (laughs) - (woman) Alexa, dim the lights.
- Wait, is he an Echo now? - Oh my god.
- Ohhh! Oh, my! - Oh, what a great dream.
- (man) Alexa, lights up! - I have Alexa,
and I have John Legend. So, now there's Michael B. Jordan.
It's crazy. - (woman) Read my audio book.
- ("Alexa") I was in his hands. I was being changed.
- (woman) Yeah. (sighs softly)
- ("Alexa") ...I was also kissing her. - (laughs)
- (man) Honey, other people have to use the bathroom
around here too. - That was so clever!
- I wish my Alexa was Michael B. Jordan.
That would be great. - Did you guys turn up
the temperature in here? That was steamy.
- I understand her plight, 'cause I would do the same thing.
His thrust game is probably pretty intense.
- Every female is gonna go crazy with Alexa. (chuckles)
- (woman) Where's the Bud Light? - (man) It's missing.
- (man 2) What a mess. (electronic warping sounds)
Medieval people. Post Malone?
- Okay. Ooh. - (man 2) Dr. Galazkiewicz?
- (Galazkiewicz) Yes, I am. - Ohh, some thriller music.
- (man 2) Let's do this. - (laughs) I miss that.
Get your Bud Light here! (laughs) - (man 3) Sing it,
Real Men of Genius singer.
- ♪ That's kind of what I do ♪ - (laughs and claps)
- Shake it, shake it. (chuckles) - (laughs)
- (people cheer) - That's funny.
- This is so random! - Oh, the guy went overboard.
He's probably okay. - (man 4) I loved you, man!
- Oh. - (man 4) All right.
Let's get outta here. - Oh, so they're all trying
to work together to get Bud Light.
Bud Light, right. - If you want me to drink your beer,
then just be like, "It's Bud Light. It's delicious."
But there's robots and Cedric the Entertainer.
I would personally love if Cedric the Entertainer
was just like, "Hey, Bud Light. Drink it."
10 seconds, bam, on to watching guys throw the pigskin.
- It was so random. But at the same time,
I kind of liked that it was random. (laughs)
- I thought it was great, 'cause I love the Avengers.
And so, to see them-- especially 'cause I love
Post Malone too. Me and my roommate listen
to him all the time. - (narrator) There's a chapel
in Kansas. - Oh, I've seen this one.
- Oh my gosh. My friend texted me about this.
- I like the one missing windmill thing.
- (narrator) All are more than welcome to come meet here in the middle.
It's no secret. The middle has been a hard place
to get to lately. Between red and blue...
- Is that Bruce Springsteen? - I don't know how I feel about this.
- (narrator) ...and our fear. Whoever you are, wherever you're from,
it's what connects us. - Hmm.
- (narrator) And we need that connection.
- Is it about the center of the United States?
Or is it about a drink? 'Cause he was just drinking a drink.
- (narrator) We just have to remember the very soil we stand on
is common ground. - See, that's a good message
right there. I like that a lot, actually.
This is the most American thing I think I've ever seen.
- (narrator) ...on the road up ahead.
♪ (heartwarming string music) ♪ - It's either a drink
or they're opening up an amusement park
in the center of the United States.
Is it a drink? Oh, it's a Jeep commercial!
- (laughs) That was so funny. That was powerful.
And then it's Jeep at the very end. That was such a unifying,
powerful speech that Bruce Springsteen of all people put together. (laughs)
- I wasn't expecting it to be a Jeep commercial.
- It was a powerful message of just humanity just coming together
and just, you know... - Well, yipee ki yay!
I wanna be reunited in America.
♪ (thrilling music) ♪ (static noises)
- Reddit? - (narrator) In the hear--
- (FBE) That was it. - What?!
♪ (thrilling music) ♪ (static noise)
- (narrator) In the hear--
- Wait, was that it?
- Oh. - Ooh. Oh, no.
Okay, whoa.
- Oh, Reddit. Is this for the stock stuff?
Is this going to be what that's going to be about,
that Reddit commercial? - "If you're reading this,
it means our bet paid off. Big game spots are expensive,
so we couldn't buy a full one." - "But we were inspired and decided
to spend our entire marketing budget on five seconds of air time.
One thing we learned from our communities last week..."
Oh, big time. "...is that underdogs
can accomplish just about anything when they come together
around a common idea." "Who knows, maybe you'll be
the reason finance textbooks have to add a chapter on 'tendies.'
Maybe you'll help r/SuperbOwl teach the world about
the majesty of owls. Maybe you'll even pause
this five-second ad." - (laughs) You're right, Reddit.
"Powerful things happen when people rally around
something they care about. And there's a place for that.
It's called Reddit." - (FBE) So, what do you think
about the fact that all that happened
and then they took out a Super Bowl ad?
- I think that's pretty cool. - That was so funny! Gosh.
It was just like (speaks gibberish). I was about to be like,
"You have a tech issue over here." (laughs)
- I think this is a really, really good commercial,
'cause you do wanna go back and pause the TV
or you wanna go on and search the commercial
on YouTube to watch it like we're doing right now.
- To actually pause that, you have to be like,
"Oh my god! Give me the remote!"
You have to be really good with your instincts.
$30 million. (makes fart noise) Down the tubes.
What is the message? Is it like, "Oh,
Reddit's really powerful. We can do anything"?
That's kind of odd to air on a mainstream network.
You know what I mean? Like, we're the under dogs.
We could take over if we wanted to.
- (narrator) This is the story of a boy with scissors for hands.
No, not that one. - The duck.
- (woman) Edgar, you're gonna be late!
- (narrator) This one. My son, Edgar.
- Ohh! - (woman) Hi, sweetie.
- Edgar?
- I love this movie.
- Is that Timothée Chalamet? - I love Timothée Chalamet.
- Oh my gosh! I didn't even know
he was in a Super Bowl commercial. - (teacher) Opposite poles
can actually-- - Oh, that's unfortunate.
- (man) Yo, Edgar! - Just gonna, like, cut the football.
Oh. - Aww. (laughs)
- This is why I love the internet. I know this is a commercial,
but you can have Edward Scissorhands as Edgar Scissorhands in college
with Timothée Chalamet. This is a recipe for success.
- (man 2) Stick with the menu.
- He's so mean! "Stick with the menu."
- (mom) That meeting was not... - Is that Subway? (laughs)
Oh my gosh!
- No, they didn't! (gasps) That was so mean.
- (laughs)
- Was that Winona Ryder? I think it is,
'cause I watched Stranger Things recently,
'cause my roommate's never seen it, and I think that's her.
- Oh my gosh. That's a nice car.
- (mom) Go ahead. Try it.
And Edgar drove off into the sunset.
But don't worry. He still makes it home in time for dinner.
Occasionally. - Hah?! What was that?! (laughs)
- Yeah, I wasn't expecting it to be a car commercial.
- That was so charming. That was a mix of funny
but heartwarming. - Yeah, it's Winona Ryder. Yeah.
Great cameo to have in the commercial. And it was a Cadillac commercial too.
I would've never thought. I thought it would be
for his new movie. - Once again, I just love
the throwback vibes, 'cause that's a great movie.
And Timothée Chalamet really kind of would work in that.
He did a pretty good job. (bell rings)
- (man) Hey, Rodgers! Look, I'm you!
- (Rodgers) Jake from State Farm, you couldn't find a stand-in
that looked anything like me? - (Mahomes) Have you seen mine?
- (Rudd) It's like looking in a mirror, right?
- (gasps) Paul Rudd! (laughs)
- (Jake) Look, guys. I don't even have a stand-in.
- "Don't even have a stand-in." - (Drake) Course you do.
- (Mahomes) Hold on. Is that Drake? - Is it Drake?
- (Drake) That's right. - Oh my gosh.
- (Drake) I'm Drake from State Farm. - Drake from State Farm.
- Like a good-- - Like a good neighbor.
- Oh. - (both) Like a good...
- (Drake) Neighbor. - (Jake) Hey, stand-ins
don't have lines. - (Drake) Oh, okay.
- (Jake) Like a good neighbor, (apple crunches)
State... Farm is there. - Wow! They really put
Drake down there. He was about to say it beautifully.
That was about to be a hit right there.
- Does Drake always have a heart in his hair?
- (Lynch) 'Twas the night before... - Ohhh.
- (Lynch) Hol' up! - I love Marshawn Lynch.
- (Lynch) Let's take this up a notch. 'Twas the night before Super Bowl...
- Oh. (chuckles) - (Lynch) ...when all through
Tampa Bay, the Chiefs... - He has a picture of himself.
- Yeah! - (Lynch) ...should appear,
but the Super Bowl legends. - Yeah!
I'm like hyping-- I'm like, "Yeah, hyping it up!"
- (Lynch) ...throwing footballs, snacking on Lays
and destroying them walls. - (man) Hey, what are you doing?!
- (man 2) His idea, Dad. - They're a little old
to be wearing PJs. - (laughs)
That is so funny, the PJs. - I love when they're acting
like tough guys, like, "Yeah!" And then they're like, "Sorry."
- (laughs) That is so funny. I love how everyone has
pictures and photos of themselves in this.
I kind of want that robe. Marshawn, if you see this,
send me that. - (Lynch) So, get the Doritos.
- (man 3) You guys are all right. - Oh, wow.
- (Lynch) Get the Tostitos, pour salsa, pour queso.
- Everyone's got such fun, silky-looking PJs.
- (Lynch) Snack away, snack away, y'all.
- Ooh! - (Lynch) The Super Bowl's here,
and we about to ball! - Oh, he's rhyming.
He's reading poetry. - (Lynch) To all a good night.
- Good night to you too, Marshawn. - (Lynch) Don't forget the chips.
- Never forget the chips. - Yes! He's amazing!
- I didn't know who anyone in that commercial was,
'cause I don't watch sports. That's a failing of mine.
And I understand that. Those were probably icons
of the sports world. I had no idea what was going on
other than I should eat Lays chips, which is good. This is what
they probably want. - It sounded like a threat.
I will not forget the chips. I want those PJs.
That's the number one thing I couldn't get out of my head.
- That was a clever commercial right there and a lot of sets.
Big time production for that commercial right there.
- (FBE) All right. So, after seeing all these commercials,
which one would you say was your favorite?
- I would have to say the State Farm one.
That was just so clever! And it's 'cause Jake
from State Farm is so iconic. And he's like, "Oh yeah?
Well, I'm Drake from State Farm!" (laughs) It was such a funny
play on words. - My favorite? The Scissorhand.
I liked that one. That one's cool.
- The Bruce Springsteen one for sure. That was a roller coaster.
It was like, "This is beautiful and powerful and just so well shot."
And I was like-- I forgot that I was watching a commercial.
And then it's just Jeep. It's just like that sums up
commercials just in general. What the message is,
it's almost like it doesn't matter as long as it just say something
at the-- like, the brand at the end. - I love that Reddit one
just because it's so smart. It's so crazy what happened
and everything. - I'm most thoroughly impressed
because I got got. That one was pretty impressive
and pretty smart. And the fact that they had
the fast turnaround? I think that one wins it for me.
Reddit, you get the Rose and a tendie. (laughs)
You've permanently changed my vocabulary
with that, Reddit. So, thank you.
