Ram’s Super Bowl 2013 Commercial

February 4th, 2013
This is a wonderful commercial that was created through photographs to depict American farmers. I love the idea, and I'd love to one day takes photos to match a piece of literature and create my own video like this.

That and the Clydsdale horse commercial were far and above the best of the bunch.

I like that one, the Clydesdales, the Tide Miracle Montana ad, Kia - Babylandia, Oreo (nearly peed my pants when the firefighters whispered "fire") and the Taco Bell ad with the elderly folks.

I loved the farmer commercial. made me wish I was a farmer.

I kept watching that commercial and was just mesmerized by the photography in it. Lot of HDR work, but it was just splendid.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this commercial! I am originally from Iowa and my Uncle is still a farmer, so this really hit home for me. Amazing photography too!

@northy Watched it. Disappointed in the ending however.
February 4th, 2013
Me too, Tonia. It is a goal that I have. Thanks for sharing. @jsw0109 Ugh, I couldn't watch, so now I'm going to have to try to find them all on you-tube.

@northy of course I was. I was rooting for the Ravens, so I'm a happy camper. I always make sure to use the restroom before kickoff

@jsw0109 glad your team won! i am so not a football fan, but my husband and two of my boys are - so i've had the evening pretty much to myself :)

will have to chase down all the commercials on youtube tomorrow...

anyone else grossed out by the godaddy commercial? OMG
February 4th, 2013
@tbats22 YES.....
February 4th, 2013
@ridley made sure to turn it asap when it showed the second time. SICK
February 4th, 2013
@jsw0109 I too LOVED that clydesdale one
February 4th, 2013
@tbats22 and I just renewed my godaddy account... darn...
February 4th, 2013
@tbats22 yes... it was the sound grossing me out more than anything... like a snail making love to an oyster in a mud pit
February 4th, 2013
@ridley oh no!! lol

@jsw0109 i know, right?! i always hate the godaddy stuff bc its so tasteless but this was pretty low. i guess they forget little kids like to watch the game too. pathetic

This is fascinating as well. The Dodge Ram commercial was based on a YouTube video: http://www.slate.com/blogs/browbeat/2013/02/03/god_made_a_farmer_paul_harvey_speech_goes_from_youtube_to_super_bowl_ad.html

Tiara, et al, yes. That commercial was pathetic. And mean. @tbats22
February 4th, 2013
This is such an awesome commercial! :) My grandfather is 91 and still farming strong! :) Great share!! :)

AC
Loved both of the aforementioned commercials (farmer and clydesdale... not godaddy) and the Skechers commercial with the gazelle and cheetah.

We tried, came close, and still it was a great game. The commercials...meh. Did like the clydesdale and farmer one. listening to Paul Harvey was truly nostalgic. Haven't heard that man's voice in a long time....
February 4th, 2013
@northy I watched the whole game. I was rooting for the 49ers (since I'm a die-hard Bronco fan) so I was happy to see them make it a close and exciting game after the power outage.
February 4th, 2013
@jsw0109 @northy We had a hard time remembering not to FF thru the commercials!

I too was struck by the photography in the Dodge ad
February 4th, 2013
wow, awesome photography in this add
February 4th, 2013
@northy technically the Ravens aren't my team... but the Ravens knocked out my team in the playoffs... so as long as the Ravens won, then it was the best that beat my team, not the 2nd best, which would be worse.
February 4th, 2013
We don't get the commercials, so I watched online this morning. @jsw0109 I'm with you with the firefighters--hysterical!!! Just finished watching the Chrysler commercial--so moving. The Doritos goat ad was funny. Haven't been able to find the Taco Bell one yet.
February 4th, 2013
This was my favorite commercial of the entire superbowl, especially since I am from a farming/ranching based area!... brought tears to my eyes.
February 4th, 2013
I loved the photography in that and wanted to go find some farms and farmers.
February 4th, 2013
Definitely my favorite! My Daddy worked for the USDA his entire career and was a farmer, so this one was near and dear to my heart! And I love Paul Harvey... a man of wisdom and common sense, so rare these days... miss him.
February 4th, 2013
Loved the Ram commercial! Stunning photography - had me wishing I'd taken those shots. The clydesdale commercials have a special place in my heart too.
February 4th, 2013
Beautiful commercial - thanks for sharing! @tonia365photos

Someone from around here did the Doritos one with the men playing dress-up. He was catching it from some people who felt it was inappropriate. Specifically the comment was made "how am I going to explain that to my kids."

That became our tag line. Underwear ad - oh my how AM I going to explain that to my kids

half time show - no no no I can't explain THAT to my kids

players acting like idiots getting into a fight on the field
gross kissing thing
faking a field goal on 4th and 9 and getting 7 yards...

so many opportunities and funny every time

I think they are trying to hard. Everyone is expecting big things so they're just going to this shock value.
