Trend Hunter's Courtney Scharf knows a thing or two about great advertisements and shares her top five Superbowl 2014 ads. The Superbowl is notorious for being the biggest NFL game of the year and for also having a line of the years very best commercials in-between the game.
This year Courtney took a liking to an alternate reality commercial brought to us by the Kia automobile marquee. In this offbeat advertisement Morpheus -- from the iconic 90s film 'The Matrix'-- offers a random couple a red or blue key. The parallel to the iconic film is what catches viewers attention that attention is kept until the very end where Morpheus is singing opera from the backseat of the couples car.
These Superbowl 2014 ads are beyond hilarious and definitely made commercial breaks worth it.
