Better Than the Real Thing Super Bowl ads make up for a boring game
By Michael Ferrari Chieftain Staff
Though this year ’ s Super Bowl was extremely one-sided and arguably controlled by the refs , there ’ s one thing that all Americans can come together to rally around : the ads . Super Bowl ads are an important part of American pop culture and shaped around the culture and lifestyle of average Americans . With that being said , here are my top 2021 Super Bowl ads .
First is the E- Trade workout commercial . This commercial features a young boy trying to get in the best physical shape of his life after seeing the strength of a wrestler . It cuts to a comical , “ Rocky ”- style montage of his workout routine . The commercial ends with an allegory on how we can all get in shape this year -- financially , at least .
Next is the compilation of the Paramount ads . The ad is meant to advertise
The NHL Skates On , Despite Changes
By Joe Simpson Chieftain Staff
With the NHL season starting in January and ending in May , it is going to be a different season than most . After the 56-game regular season , the NHL will hold a 16-team playoff bracket , including a four-team Canadian division and three Amercan divisions .
With all the complications going on in the NHL , you may have forgotten
their streaming service , so many legends are displayed , such as Jeff Probst of “ Survivor ,” “ Dora the Explorer ” and , most importantly , Snooki of “ Jersey Shore .” The ad features many of these characters
The best ad was for M & Ms , featuring apologies to many , including someone named Karen
The Red Wings are rebuilding
getting into particularly sticky situations when trying to scale the large Paramount mountain . I found this commercial pretty funny and was excited to see the next one come on .
The Tide ad , also known as “ The Jason Alexander Hoodie ,” goes through the life of a hoodie superimposed with the face of Alexander , more commonly known as
some offseason moves , such as Nate Schmidt signing with the Vancouver Canucks , or Paul Stastny ’ s trade to the Winnipeg Jets . Also , Jesse Puljujrävi signed a two-year contract with the Edmonton Oilers .
Since the season started , the Tampa Bay Lightning , Carolina Hurricanes and the New York Islanders are all off to hot starts , and it ’ s not looking like any of those teams are stopping

George Costanza from “ Seinfeld .” Alexander is then featured at the end of the commercial -- it was good to see an old time legend .
Honorable Mention goes to the fivesecond Reddit ad . It appeared to be a car commercial , but then a message flashed on screen stating that , “ Underdogs can accomplish anything when they come together around a common idea ,” a message that should resonate with viewers .
Finally , my top pick for the best Super Bowl ad has to go to M & Ms . This ad was comedic genius . It featured actors giving M & Ms to each other as a peace offering with very funny reasons why they were seeking forgiveness . One person gave M & Ms to a woman and apologized for calling her “ Karen ,” only for it to be revealed that her name is Karen , and then she received another package of M & Ms because her name is Karen .
soon . Now on to the Red Wings . The Wings are off to a slow start , somewhere around 8th in the Central Division , but they made some huge offseason moves for the future . GM Steve Yzerman let go of multiple players and signed eight free agents in this offseason .
The Wings also drafted a difference maker with the fourth overall pick by selecting Lucas Raymond . Yzerman is also targeting European players who could make a positive change . Unfortunately , we probably won ’ t see that change this year .
