Joe Rogan wasn’t a super fan of the Super Bowl commercials…
During a recent episode of the Joe Rogan Experience, host Joe Rogan shared his thoughts on the commercials that aired during the Super Bowl this year.
“I did not watch the Super Bowl but I got a ton of messages from people that watched it that were like, ‘What the fuck is going on?’ Like, the Super Bowl was a gigantic propaganda campaign. There’s Pfizer ads and weird woke commercials,” Rogan told Dr. Bret Weinstein on his podcast, “
From The Daily Caller:
CBS‘ Super Bowl featured a number of Big Pharma advertisements, including a 60-second spot from Pfizer.
Drug maker Astella also ran a spot for their menopause drug Veozah, according to Benzinga.
The big game featured a number of other high-leverage brands spending millions of dollars to help shape public opinion, including Bud Light, which delivered a classic, inoffensive commercial as part of its ongoing attempt to rehabilitate the brand after the Dylan Mulvaney debacle.
Rogan is one hundred percent correct here, though. The Super Bowl, with a record 123 million viewers this year, is arguably the last universal cultural touchstone left in America. That makes it every brand and political operative’s best chance to make their mark on the American psyche. And boy do these corporations leap at it.
Notably, Chinese retail giant Temu spent over $21 million on three spots for the same ad, trying to normalize their brand in America amid a rash of criticism and lawmaker opposition to its alleged ties to forced labor.
