Top Picks: Auto Commercials of Super Bowl XLIX

Fatherhood is hot, manly tears

Pick your poison: interview, narration, or folk song. Alternatively, you can use them to suss out any replicants in your midst.

Toyota Camry – How to be a father

You won’t see any reference to an actual vehicle in this commercial. Just several minutes (there’s a shorter version) of fathers talking about the challenges of fatherhood.

Toyota Camry – My Bold Dad

Here, Toyota goes for the narrative approach and tells the story of a girl and her dad.

Nissan Maxima – With Dad

Warning: “Cat’s in the Cradle”. That’s all that needs to be said.

And that’s it. We’re not including the Budweiser commercial. We’re really not.
