20 best Super Bowl commercials of all-time
By Bryce Olin
16. Ameriquest Mortgage Company “Surprise Dinner”
I guess you could call Ameriquest Mortgage Company’s “Surprise Dinner” commercial a cheap laugh, but I love it anyway. Plus, it has a really great message, unlike some of the other commercials.
In the commercial, a man sneaks home early to make dinner for his girlfriend. He’s got a bag of groceries, flowers, and basically the whole nine to make this a very special night for him and his significant other.
At first, everything is going great. He’s cooking, checking the time, setting the table, and everything looks like it’s done for when she arrives.
As she walks down the hall, the man is cutting something on a cutting board. All of the sudden, one of their cats knocks over a pot of pasta sauce and the red sauce spills all over the floor. The man, still holding the knife, bends down to pick up the cat right as his girlfriend walks through door.
From her perspective, it appears the man has killed the cat with the knife, and the cat’s blood is all over the floor.
Just then, the words “Don’t judge too quickly. We won’t.” appear on the screen.
The commercial is a little dark, but the message is very clear and good for anyone thinking about picking up Ameriquest Insurance.
