Overall the theme for Superbowl ads was "getting high on our own supply." When you've got an audience that big you need to to be speaking to everyone in a language they can understand and way too many ads, tech or not, were just unfunny inside jokes.

I thought Anthropic's commercials were pretty good at skewering advertising in AI, but from an effectiveness standpoint I don't know how much Joe Sixpack cares about (or is even aware of) different AI companies.
By mikeaskew4 2026-02-094:011 reply Totally agree.
It’s all the same to more than most people.
And I don’t think anyone’s going to switch to Anthropic because of ads. They’ll switch because it’s a better product.
By vitaflo 2026-02-094:08 Most people haven't even used any AI at all. None of these ads gave a reason as to why they should even start.

By bediger4000 2026-02-094:41 Coinbase did have one of the ultra boring commercials. I couldn't figure it out until the very last word of the commercial, "Coinbase".
