Amazon, Cadillac score with Super Bowl ads

Amazon, Cadillac score with Super Bowl ads

NEW YORK โ€“ During this year's Super Bowl, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers reigned supreme on the field. Overall, this year's crop of Super Bowl ads focused on light humor that strove to entertain and connect. Bud Light Seltzer LemonadeBud Light used lemons as a metaphor for everything that went wrong in 2020 to introduce its new Seltzer Lemonade. Michelob was likely hoping to drive people to repeat views online with the celebrity lookalikes, but during the fast-moving Super Bowl the conceit was confusing. With its first-ever Super Bowl ad, Scott's was looking to keep that momentum going, but the overstuffed ad ended up being distracting.

The Latest: Robinhood's ad emerges from the time capsule

The latest news on Super Bowl commercials. ___10 p.m.Smartphone-based stock market investment service Robinhood bought its Super Bowl spot in December after a successful year, unaware that it was about to make global headlines. Ad___9:45 p.m.Jeep starred iconic singer Bruce Springsteen in his first ever ad promoting the idea of unity. Most brands that have money to spend on Super Bowl ads are already household names, but the big game is also a chance for upstarts to make a big splash. ___7:15 p.m.General Motors used humor in a Super Bowl ad to promote its ambitious push to get more Americans to buy electric vehicles.

Super Bowl ads went for light humor. Not all succeeded

Super Bowl ads went for light humor. Not all succeeded

This photo provided by Cadillac shows a scene from Cadillac's 2021 Super Bowl NFL football spot. They aimed to connect to the estimated 100 million viewers who tune in to the Super Bowl broadcast each year. Perhaps the most striking effect: Virtually none of the ads featured people in masks, a public-health priority but also a grim reminder of the ongoing pandemic. AIMING TO ENTERTAINIn an effort to be light, advertisers stuffed -- and sometimes overstuffed โ€” their ads with celebrities. โ€œI like Springsteen and heartwarming ads like this generally, but this one feels too forced given the current political climate,โ€ he said.

A sexy Alexa, Dan Levy's M&M habit: Super Bowl ads to watch

A sexy Alexa, Dan Levy's M&M habit: Super Bowl ads to watch

It might not have seemed likely early in the pandemic, but the 55th Super Bowl Sunday is upon us yet again. Amazon shows off a sexy new body for its Alexa assistant, Dan Levy apologizes for eating M&M's and Bud Light Seltzer Lemonade makes a downpour of lemons a metaphor for 2020's troubles. AdInspiration4 โ€œ Join Us "In what is surely a first in Super Bowl history, an ad for Inspiration4, a SpaceX supported all-civilian space mission touts a chance for viewers to join the mission. Dan Levy of โ€œSchittโ€™s Creekโ€ apologizes to the M&M anthropomorphic characters that are Super Bowl mainstays and says he promises not to โ€œeat any more of their friends." And E-Trade, famous for the talking baby ads it ran in the Super Bowl from 2008 until they โ€œretired" in 2014, is back in the big game with an undisclosed ad.

Super Bowl ads aim to comfort and connect

Super Bowl ads aim to comfort and connect

NEW YORK โ€“ Super Bowl ads each year offer a snapshot of the American psyche. The chance to break into the psyche and (virtual) watercooler talk of an estimated 100 million viewers who will be watching the CBS broadcast of Super Bowl LV on Sunday. This yearโ€™s Super Bowl will showcase more than 20 first-time advertisers โ€” more than double the 8 from last year if you exclude campaign ads, according to a tally by research firm iSpot. Itโ€™s a bellwether when a brand can afford the estimated $5.5 million cost-of-entry for a 30-second spot during the Super Bowl. In stark contrast to last year's Super Bowl, which featured campaign ads from both Donald Trump and Michael Bloomberg, politics is out of sight this year.

'First Cow,' 'Nomadland' top AP's best films of 2020

This image released by Searchlight Pictures shows Frances McDormand in a scene from the film "Nomadland" by Chloe Zhao. Here are our picks for the best movies of 2020:JAKE COYLE1. โ€œDavid Byrneโ€™s American Utopiaโ€: Spike Leeโ€™s fiction films make more noise but heโ€™s quietly one of the best documentary filmmakers we have. He may have made the best film of the year in his short film โ€œNew York, New York,โ€ a tribute to an undefeatable pandemic-stricken city. It's also, with a glorious rendering of Harlem, one of the best New York movies in years.

Scene from 'Elf' comes to life as Buddy meets dad in Boston

Scene from 'Elf' comes to life as Buddy meets dad in Boston

BOSTON โ€“ Just like a real-life movie, the story of Buddy the Elf meeting his biological father has come to life, just in time for the holidays. Doug Henning wore a costume like the one actor Will Ferrellโ€™s character wore in โ€œElfโ€ while meeting his father face to face for the first time last week at Boston's Logan Airport. He even broke into the same awkward song from the 2003 movie โ€” sample lyrics: โ€œIโ€™m here, with my dad. Just like the movie, the father didn't know about his son. The two met on Zoom and Henning's dad was able to fly to Boston for Thanksgiving.

Trebek brought consensus, class to a nation in need of both

Trebek brought consensus, class to a nation in need of both

Game show host Alex Trebek poses for a photo in his Los Angeles home on Aug. 3, 1988. Six nights a week for 36 years, after the evening news and before the firebrands of primetime cable opinion shows, Trebek brought together liberals and conservatives, city dwellers and rural folk, grandparents and grandchildren for a half-hour of brainy exercise. He was the composed college professor whose students endlessly speculated about what he was like when class was over. Trebek gave the role a gravitas, and a virtuosity, that didn't seem possible before him. Viewers will get a good bit more Trebek through episodes he has already taped, and through well over three decades of reruns.

Q&A: Adam McKay on the lessons of the 2000 recount

Q&A: Adam McKay on the lessons of the 2000 recount

FILE - Director Adam McKay appears during a photo call for the film "Vice" at the 2019 Berlinale Film Festival in Berlin, Germany on Feb. 11, 2019. Itโ€™s also a lively film that resurrects 2000 not just via hanging chads but by following the cultural atmosphere. Alongside interviews with backroom players like Roger Stone, โ€œSNLโ€ sketches make frequent cameos โ€” including some McKay wrote. McKAY: The movie weโ€™re making right now is about a comet thatโ€™s going to hit Earth. McKAY: I think itโ€™s the strangest thing Iโ€™ve ever experienced in my life.

Rejoice: Kate McKinnon will play Carole Baskin in TV show, reports say

Rejoice: Kate McKinnon will play Carole Baskin in TV show, reports say

Variety reports that there is a limited series being made about the big cat lovers, which is based off a podcast called โ€œJoe Exotic," and it will star โ€œSNLโ€™s" Kate McKinnon as Baskin herself. McKinnon signed up to play Baskin in the fall, long before the masses knew anything of the epic feud between Exotic and Baskin, according to the report. Since we have McKinnon cast, the next obvious question is what actors should play the other colorful characters from โ€œTiger King,โ€ such as Exotic or Doc Antle. Matthew McConaughey comes to mind, especially if youโ€™ve seen him in โ€œDallas Buyers Club.โ€Danny McBride, who is known for playing trashy characters, would also nail Exotic. As for who should play Antle, who is equally as zany as Exotic, heโ€™d have to be played by Will Ferrell.

'Between Two Ferns' plants lots of laughs in Netflix movie

'Between Two Ferns' plants lots of laughs in Netflix movie

Netflix via CNN(CNN) - "Between Two Ferns: The Movie" is perhaps inevitably best consumed in bite-sized bits, bringing back Zach Galifianakis from his popular web series as the worst (or depending on one's point of view, best) celebrity interviewer ever. The movie's conceit is hit-miss, but when it works -- yielding deadpan insults and pained expressions -- there are enough laughs to make digging up "Ferns" look like a fine idea. Again playing a twisted version of himself, Galifianakis is introduced at a North Carolina public-access station, very uncomfortably interviewing Matthew McConaughey. What ensues, then, is basically a standard road movie, interspersed with a star-studded array of "Ferns" interviews. "Between Two Ferns: The Movie" premieres Sept. 20 on Netflix.

So happy birthday, yay," Ferrell says before getting up and smashing the cake into the camera. Lovato also shared a slideshow expressing how "today was one of the happiest days of my life.

Ron Burgundy hits six late-night shows

Ron Burgundy hits six late-night shows

Will Ferrell as Ron Burgundy participates in Q&A after a special screening of the film "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy" in 2004. (CNN) - Will Ferrell's "Anchorman" alter ego Ron Burgundy pulled off a late-night takeover, hitting "Conan," "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," "The Late Late Show," "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," "Late Night with Seth Meyers" and "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" Each appearance by the San Diego "newsman" was different; in one he performed standup, in another he was a ventriloquist. Ferrell pulled off the stunt to promote the new season of his podcast, "The Ron Burgundy Podcast (an iHeartRadio Original Podcast.) The appearances put an end to a few days of internet speculation about an advertised mystery guest.

Norman Lear, Jimmy Kimmel plan more live TV show specials

Norman Lear, Jimmy Kimmel plan more live TV show specials

Norman Lear and Jimmy Kimmel are returning with two more editions of their "Live in Front of a Studio Audience" for ABC. In addition to Lear and Kimmel, the specials are executive produced by Will Ferrell, Justin Theroux and Lear's producing partner, Brent Miller. The special was a ratings hit and is currently contending for three Emmy Awards, including outstanding live variety special. Almost immediately, it caused fan chatter as to which of Lear's other shows or episodes could be next. We can get it so easily now and there's no longer that excitement of finding a Playboy under a blanket."
