Best Super Bowl Commercial This Year?

Lil Nas X (Montero Lamar Hill) is the rapper, singer, and songwriter who went viral in 2019 using the Internet and social media—especially on Tik Tok—for promotion of his song “Old Town Road,” which is a country rap/country trap song. It hit the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 list for 19 straight weeks, breaking a record for longest time spent on the chart. Lil Nas X was able to catch the attention of Billy Ray Cyrus to do the remix (see below), which won a Grammy Award for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance and Best Music Video.

Many applauded the “showdown” between these Lil Nas X and actor Sam Elliott, of western movie fame, with their two “dancing” horses in the 2020 Super Bowl commercial for Doritos. And we can’t forget the cameo from Billy Ray Cyrus. The commercial is reminiscent of the original music video of the song, in which Lil Nas X rides a horse, ironically for the first time despite the song being all about horses, according to the singer.

We also came across a video about the making of the commercial that you’ll want to see (see below), done by Access Hollywood.

So you tell us, which one won the dance showdown: Lil Nas X or Sam Elliott?
And which horse won?

Budweiser has released its commercial that will be aired during the 2019 Super Bowl on Sunday, February 3, and the Clydesdales make an appearance. Watch the 2019 Super Bowl Ad featuring the Budweiser Clydesdales.

The famous Budweiser Clydesdales have been relegated to the background of Anheuser-Busch’s Super Bowl ads for the past couple of years as the company focused its messaging more on the beer and less on the mascots. This followed a trio of famously emotional Super Bowl ads from Budweiser that ran in 2013, 2014, and 2015, featuring the Clydesdales, their kind-hearted caretaker, and an impossibly adorable puppy.

Prior to those, the Bud ads were known for being among the most entertaining of the Super Bowl commercial lineup, and often featured supporting players like dalmatians and donkeys alongside the majestic Clydesdales.

This year’s 2019 Super Bowl ad makes use of a cute puppy and some gorgeous scenery with the iconic Budweiser Clydesdale hitch. Budweiser is using this 30-second spot to promote its use of renewable wind power to brew its beer. Anheuser-Busch says that Budweiser is now brewed with 100% renewable electricity from wind power.
