The Friday Link for 2/16/24

We delve into familiar territory with this week's Friday Link as we get the best of the Super Bowl Ads. 

These are my picks for the best ones from last weekend's game, and FYI the Arnold Schwarzenegger State Farm ad and the Beyonce Verizon ad finished 4 and 5.

Number 3 for me was the Booking.com ad featuring Tina Fey.  Forget the 30-second ad from the game and focus on the 90-second MUCH better version:


Next up is the Uber Eats ad with Jennifer Anniston.  The guy forgetting how to sit was good, but it was the absolutely perfect final line from David Schwimmer which was the best line from any ad.


And the hands-down winner was the absolutely inspired Dunkin' Donuts ad featuring Ben Affleck. This ad was really good, but the extended 4-minute, 21-second extravaganza is sensational! Not only is Matt Damon 'fall out of your chair' funny, but I do love Jack Harlow's desperate pleading for Affleck not to go through with it.  Top-notch and the best of this year's ads.


Speaking of ads, next up is a fantastic political ad from Katrina Christensen, a Democrat who is running for Senate in deep-red North Dakota. This ad is sensational and points out perfectly how in these states where Republicans have been charge forever, your lives have not only not gotten better, they've gotten far worse. This should be copied in every red-seat race this year.

Finally tonight, ME!  My friend Cliff Schecter was kind enough to put one of my radio show rants up on his Blue Amp YouTube Channel.  It's me talking about the Super Bowl JESUS ads and my family's religious journey.  


Have a great weekend. 

Make sure you get vaccinated and stay safe!
