For many of those watching the game is just a side show for the real entertainment, the super bowl ads. This year, 30second spot is selling for 5 million. We spoke to four people in the know about some of most the stakes are high. You have that big viewing audience. Everybody has the pressure on to be as great as possible. You are playing like betty white out there. Thats not what your girlfriend said. A super bowl commercial makes everyone bring their a game. For me super bowl was just about commercials as a kid. Its become, you know, must see viewing for everybody, really. Go back and look over the earliest super bowls, the commercials, its amazing. My shave cream. Last night was rougher than i thought. Wasnt much pressure for advertisers to stand out from the clutter. Completely different universe. If you dont buy rca, you may be buying obsolete color tv. Looking at the story, the apple ad. From the industry point of view, completely changed the game. For the first time people realize we need to do something that is going to have buzz value, get talked about. More risk. I still get chills thinking abut the experience of seeing the ad for the first time. Just one look many years ago i was invited to do a commercial for pepsi and it was to launch their new can.

Anheuserbusch has been one of the great advertiser that comes back every year. Think whats up, right . Whats up . What started to do was do advertising on the super bowl that didnt just excite people watching the game. The language in that advertising made its way to pop culture. One of most famous ad ever made was the budweiser clyde dale ad called well never forget. Think what they did with the clyde dales after 9 11. Serious for the super bowl, but it was the right thing to do at that moment. I think for super bowl you want to see the commercials as much as you want to see the game. This is the motor city. This is what we do. If i am a cultural anthropologist, 100 years from now first thing i do is look at super bowl advertising. Hey, ralph can i have a dorito . Sure, when pigs fly.
