The other commercial I really liked was the commercial with the Clydesdale. I was told that part of this commercial was filmed at the Clydesdale ranch in my area. I must say that it caused me to tear up a bit at the end.
I really didn't have a favorite team until I realized Michael Oher was playing for the Ravens. You may remember him from the movie "Blindside". I'm sure he would prefer to be thought of as a football player and not in connection to a movie. However, I'm happy his team won! I haven't been a huge football fan since Joe Montana was playing for the 49er's and then the KC Chiefs before retiring. I'll have to share a photo of Joe and yours truly standing together. Yes, I was thisclose to the superstar quarterback! I'll leave this story for another post...if I can find the photo!
Until next time...
Yes, I watched but only for the commercials and halftime. Good stuff!!
ReplyDeleteI posted about our family having a Super Bowl Commercial Party! Most of us didn't watch a bit of the game, but when we heard the music meaning they were going to commercials, we all got quiet and watched and laughed and cried! There's no better commercials than on Super Bowl Sunday! We also loved the Dodge truck God Made Farmers commercial. We loved Paul Harvey...with the rest of the story!
ReplyDeleteWell, first thing this morning I recieved a phone call from my sister asking if I had seen parts of the Clydesdale commercial on one of the morning shows. My sis ter was crying asnd asking me - "Why did we have to give up our farm so many years ago and my horse.?...I loved that horse." And now I just see the You Tube video about the Love of a Farmer and my eyes are full of tears. My ancestors and father...as well as your family and millions of others work so hard ...TO BE A FARMER. Everything that Paul Harvey spoke of is true ...true tight down to the bottom of the worn out boots. I am so proud to be a farmer's daughter. I am so proud to be able to tell my children all about our dairy, horse and crop farm.You see, my Dad died at 41 years of age. I was 18 with 2younger sisters and one 10 year old brother. Mom sold the farm. It was too big for her to run by herself. That's when the cows and horses were sold and our lives changed. But I am still a "daughter of a farmer" and so are you. It is something to marvel at and to be proud that God gave us our time on a farm with a farm Dad.
ReplyDeleteThank you for writing this. I so loved it.
Friends,
Susannah
only reason why i watch the super bowl. i loved the Clydesdale one. so cute. they really do a great job.
ReplyDeletei enjoyed the farmers commercial but not sure what they have to do with farmers though. most farmers around here drive FORDS. sorry Dodge (Ram) makers. ha. ha!!
then downton abbey came on & i did not watch any more. ( :
Aren't those Clydesdales amazing? I saw them up close once in stalls and they are HUGE. I had to reach up to touch their noses.
ReplyDeleteI missed the Paul Harvey one but my computer is too slow to play videos. However, I did tape the show and will check it out.
I am impressed that you got to rub elbows with Joe Montana.
I am not a sports fan but I started watching this one, after the lights came back on, and thoroughly enjoyed it!!! Like you I was for the Raven's just because of that young man's story (although I've never seen the movie). The Paul Harvey commercial was so moving.
ReplyDeleteI teared up on both of these ;) Not often I can watch an ad more than once - on purpose - but I love these two (and we are a FORD fam)! I did not know about the Blind Side guy being in the game. That would have made it more interesting to me! We will be watching for your superstar picture :) Have a great week! -Tammy
ReplyDeleteWe didn't watch the super bowl. I had seen the Clydesdale foal video early yesterday. I got real teary. I told CH that was Warm Springs.. :) I love "So God Made the Farmer" with Harvey's awesome voice!
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Cheryl!
Thank you for the link to the Budweiser Clydesdale add! I think who ever does their adds, is brilliant! Want to watch it, over and over!
ReplyDeleteOne of our Grandson's loves the Ravens, so we were for them. And so happy they won, for him. :-)))))))))
i did not watch the super bowl, but i saw this horse one on youtube 2 ays ago and it made me cry. love that farmer one, i just sent it to a cople of friends.
ReplyDeleteHi Cheryl, thanks for sharing, missed those two wonderful commercials....oh my,tears rolled down my cheeks to, Blessings Francine.
ReplyDeleteOh those were both great commercials. I have wept both times on the Clydesdale one. John and I visited the Clydesdales in Merrimack, New Hampshire while on our honeymoon. What a magnificent place and we were there all alone. How odd.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I think the first appeals to our need to get back to basics in this country. I'm glad that someone, somewhere has noticed. The second reminds me of the theme from War Horse.
I have to admit I didn't watch the game at all. Thanks for sharing these commercials, I will admit again that I got teary eyed watching both of them :) Now I wish I had watched it I would have seen Michael Oher play and see these two commercials. I grew up a city girl but always longed for the country life, and since moving out to the country I've come to really respect and appreciate farmers and their hard work and dedication to the life they live.
ReplyDeleteOh I am with you on the commercials...both brought tears to my eyes...Not much of a football fan but I love critiquing the commercials..
ReplyDeletei heard the paul harvey narration from another room without watching the commercial. i have always loved that...
ReplyDeleteThank you for the link to that super add!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThose commercials rocked especially Clydesdale and man.
ReplyDeleteYou picked two of my favorites. Both made me cry. The little boy in the farmer one looked so much like my grandson, who lives on a farm. The Clydesdale... wow. We are lucky to be able to claime them as our own around here. My other favorite was the Taco Bell one. I want to be like those people when I get old!
ReplyDeleteThose were my two favorite commercials too! They were great.
ReplyDeleteBoth these commercials are awesome. I didn't watch the game.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter and son-in-law had a Superbowl party, and while I spent most of the time on the floor playing with my grandsons, I did enjoy both commercials you mentioned! I saw the Buswiser Clydesdale horses on a trip to Virginia years ago - they are such magnificent horses! The God made Farmers commercial brought a tear to my eyes. My ancestors were miners, not farmers, but they grew their own food and lived as equally rugged lives. No they never had a RAM truck, or any truck or car for that matter. Times may be bad, but not as bad as they were back then!
ReplyDeletePS: Everyone here in Colorado were heartbroken the Broncos were not in the bowl! Maybe next year! :)
ohhhh, was the superbowl yesterday?? ;)))) i'm not a sports fan!!
ReplyDeletebut i love the 2 commercials you featured, can't pick a favorite, they are both wonderful.
i am happy to see someone pat those farmers on the back, they are so deserving!!
I was going to do about this exact post! These were my two favorite commercials...and if Michael had not been on one team, not sure I would have even watched.
ReplyDeletePS...I was a farmer's daughter...and no RAM truck at our home either....but at the orchard I worked at there was one...and I got to drive it sometimes!
ReplyDeleteThe horsie one gave me tears too. :)
ReplyDeleteI didn't watch but I just loved both of these clips you put on here. Not a dry eye in the house I bet!
ReplyDeleteI love football so I enjoyed the game! We enjoyed some commercials...hated others! lol I liked the one that Paul Harvey narrated! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteForgot to tell you that the farmer one was my favorite!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the videos; cute.
ReplyDeleteWe did really watch the game. However 4 of the players on the Raven's team are members of our church. I loved the movie Blindside. I guess we should have recorded it.
Blessings and hugs!
Loved both of those commercials --plus the one about the troops...
ReplyDeleteI was for the Ravens --so I'm glad that they won.
Hugs,
Betsy
We didn't watch the game, but I watched these 2 the next day online and agree they were the best. Others were tasteless and in questionable taste in my opinion.
