Many of the new Super Bowl commercials are already on YouTube

Checked them out before actual broadcast when they're easier to follow.

SquareSpace, starring Zendaya: production values are beautiful and the commercial makes a strong selling point for SqaureSpace. Really well done.

The Expedia ad, "Stuff," makes a cerebral, rational case for travel. Excellent. No laughs, but then, not every commercial has to have them to work.

General Motors, starring Mike Meyers, is the best use of celebrity. Very watchable. Very funny. Communicates GM's message perfectly.

Doritos "Flaming Hot" is one more commercial in a history of dozens to feature computer generated animals. Visual ad -- you don't need to hear it to get the idea.

Nissan: fun with with Eugene Levy. Production values are huge. Watchable.

Rest of the commercials border on self-serving to inane IMO.

Me? Been in the ad biz a lifetime.
