Too many...fell back on tactics that were too familiar from a plethora of Super Bowl spots: anthropomorphic animals, second-class celebrities, slapstick violence and riding the coattails of popular culture. Risk-taking, rule-breaking ideas were as hard to find among the more than 50 commercials as good taste in a GoDaddy ad.

Food: M&M's, plus the two spots for Doritos created by consumers, somewhat better than usual, particularly the second one, "Sling Baby."

(Doritos' "Sling baby" and Bud Light's "Weego" also placed at/near the top.)
