Super Bowl 2015: 5 Best Super Bowl Commercials Starring Danny Trejo, Zoe Saldana, Naya Rivera & More Latinos [Watch]
Super Bowl commercials starring Latinos have been far and few in the past years.
This is despite the fact Hispanics are the fastest growing consumer demographic in the United States. According to YaSabe’s poll in 2013, 48 percent of Hispanic adults in the U.S. tuned into the game.About 26 percent showed they care more about the commercials than the game itself.
Hopefully with this year's game viewers will see more Hispanics on screen, but in the meantime, here are five great commercials starring Latinos.
1. Hungry Trejo
In the past, Snickers commercials have shown hungry people channeling their inner divas.
Aretha Franklin and Betty White have made appearances playing dramatically hungry people. For this year's Super Bowl XLIX game, Snickers will show a commercial with Danny Trejo as an angry and hungry Marcia Brady. Armed with an axe and a leather vest Trejo/Brady is not very happy.
Look for a cameo with Steve Buschemi.
2. Viva Young
In 2013, Taco Bell's Viva Young commercial aired during the second quarter of the Super Bowl game.
In that year's game the Taco Bell spot was the only commercial featuring Spanish-language content for the night. A rebellious group of senior citizens sneak out of their retirement home and ride off into the night causing mischief as Fun.'s "We Are Young" plays in Spanish.
The elderly rebels get tattoos and take part in scandalous behavior in a club bathroom.
3. Wonderful Saldana
Bud Light brought in Stevie Wonder and Zoe Saldana for a magical commercial during the 2013 Super Bowl.
The spot is inspired by New Orleans' bayou and voodoo magic. Two friends travel to the city carrying another friend's "lucky chair" and of course Bud Light as they go to Wonder's house. He calls forth Saldana to provide the two with the "luck" they're looking for.
4. Chocolate Love
What would you do for love? Specifically, Naya Rivera's love?
The red M&M sings Meat Loaf ballad,"Anything for Love," as he wonders how much he can take for the "Glee" star. Rivera attempts to bite, lick and bake the chocolate candy throughout the commercial.
5. America Is Beautiful
Coca-Cola's America the Beautiful commercial from last year's Super Bowl received some ugly reactions.
The ad aired in the second half of the game and featured the anthem "America the Beautiful" being sung in different languages across the country, including Spanish. Viewers responded quickly on social media declaring Americans should speak only English and used racial slurs to refer to Hispanics and Muslim Americans.
