Family and friends gather each February to watch the biggest television event of the year, the Super Bowl. People love the Super Bowl for many reasons. Sports fans look forward to watching their favorite teams battle for the Vince Lombardi Trophy. Popular party hosts entertain their guests with delicious food. Whether you like sports or not, most people will agree that one of the best parts of the night is the commercials. The commercials make us laugh, cry, and think of some of our fondest memories.
The original Super Bowl commercial aired in 1984. The commercial was an ad for Apple Computers. In the commercial Apple introduced the “Macintosh” computer and played on the theme from George Orwell’s 1984. The concept of the commercial was ground breaking and the presentation was revolutionary. Apple’s President, Steve Jobs, announced that the commercial for the new product would air one time only. The commercial was shown during half-time of the Super Bowl. Ever since, the Super Bowl has never been the same.
