The 49ers only lost by a few points, but these advertisers lost big, ticking off viewers with sexist or unfunny commercials. Watch the worst commercials of this year’s Super Bowl below. Disagree with our choices?Let us know in the comments.
Go Daddy: This commercial objectifies women and makes fun of unattractive people...
Go Daddy: First impression: “Can it be?A Go Daddy ad without bikini-clad babes?”...
Doritos: A little girl wants her dad to play with her, but he is about to go hang out with the guys...
Volkswagen: This commercial, released early, has been controversial all week. An average white guy’s Volkswagen makes him happy —so happy that he speaks with a Jamaican accent....
Gildan: After a crazy one-night stand involving fuzzy handcuffs, a dude tries to escape without waking the woman he hooked up with ... except she’s wearing his favorite t-shirt, and he needs to find a way to get it off of her...
Bonus: Century 21: Though a few of them aired before the actual game, every single one of the ads that Century 21 prepared for the Super Bowl comes across tone deaf at best, and mean at worst.

I thought the VW ad and both Doritos ads were funny (the one with the goat was funnier)
I’m with you, I thought the vw commercial was funny, not insulting or hurtful towards anyone. Yes, the go daddy one was nasty, I speed watching part way into the kiss, second time it came on I went to the kitchen. I thought the t shirt one and the Doritos ones were dumb. I liked the bud voodoo doll one,thought it was on - there’s always a fan for the other team just as into it as you are.
This year was terrible compared to past years, nothing really clever.
I watched very little of the superbowl, though I did see the Clydesdale ad. Very good one, but it seems that whenever they pull out the Clydesdales, the ads are good.
none of the funny ads were, well, funny. The best two by far were the Farmer ad (one of the best ever) and the Clydesdale ad, but of course, those were not humor ads, which was sort of odd for the Super Bowl....also odd was the farm theme of those. Look for farmers to be “cool” for a while throughtout the culture now.
Nice to see someone besides Anheuser-Busch can make a memorable, pro-military commercial while keeping their product low-key (Jeep).
So was the halftime show........
Not only are the Go Daddy commercials bad, their company sucks to boot.
C’mon! The best was PSY in the pistachio advert!
Who couldn’t help but laugh with PSY lip-synching “Crackin’ Gangnam Style” while the chorus in the background sang, “Heeyyyyyyyy, crack your nuts, now!”
The Doritos commercial was funny!
I was eating when the “Go Daddy” kiss commerical came on. Sickening.
I think the internal power outage in the “Energy Efficient” Superdome was rather comical.
I have no love for Beyonce so I skipped the halftime show.
I agree. Was it me, or did the entire sb have a "ghetto" theme this year. Maybe in honor of the departing Ray Lewis.
On the best, a toss up between Dodge Ram “God made farmers” and the Jeep salute to our troops.
Kleenex for both...
Also loved the trainer who came to see his Clydesdale do good. Very heart warming.

The second Go Daddy ad was actually effective in its message, and lacking in sexual crudity (for a change). Can’t see that being a “worst” ad. (The first one was easily the bottom of the barrel, however.)
