Whether you watched for the game or the commercials, Super Bowl LVI’s $7 million, 30-second spots were kind of unavoidable.
Viewer reaction on social media to the Super Bowl LVI ad blitz was lukewarm, at best, but a couple of spots really hit home – and occasionally the funny bone – rounding out a night that tried to push everything from electric vehicles and snack food to cryptocurrency and food delivery services.

Hands down, Chevrolet’s Silverado-EV ad struck a chord with audiences, bringing more than a few tears to the eyes of die-hard “Sopranos” fans.
There’s a new boss in our EV family.

Reactions were a bit mixed, however, to Coinbases’s QR code gimmick.
Hi, it's me, member of a supposedly evolved species who spent 30 seconds chasing the CoinBase QR code around the screen with his phone camera like a cat watching a goldfish swimming in a bowl. #SuperBowl

The “mind reader” take on Alexa, featuring Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost, certainly exemplified “relationship goals” for some viewers.
While Anna Kendrick’s Barbie-HeMan mashup for Rocket Mortgage was definitely a first-quarter favorite.

The @Doritos commercial is my favorite so far specifically because of the beat boxing Fox. #Superbowl #commercials
