If you’re a red blooded American like I am, you likely watched the Super Bowl last night. You also likely tuned in for the commercials because they are always pretty good and your team my not have been playing, thus giving you less interest in the game itself.
Super Bowl ads are usually kitschy, weird, or emotional, but they’re almost always memorable in some way. This year, the majority of ads will be remembered for being divisive instead of universally loved.
Here are the some of the most divisive ads of the year.
And the video description says, “America, we’re in for at least 4 years of awful hair. So it’s up to you to do your part by making up for it with great hair. Your own style of hair. Hair you love.” This is a direct and obvious shot at Trump, but one look at the comments and you can see why no one likes this one.
Worthless. Glad everyone wants to take punches at Trump, and it’s okay now since he is white. 8 years prior and no one would dare make this commercial in reversal.
Very true.
Here’s another gem from Audi where they essentially say all men are evil and all women are oppressed.

Audi tried to be inclusive and fight for women’s rights, but instead they just alienated pretty much every man in the country, just for the sake of being politically correct.
And the best part? They got called out for being sexist anyway from someone with apparent first hand knowledge that they undervalue women in their business practices. Awesome.

Audi’s video has received a staggering 51,000+ thumbs down. Way to go guys! Morons.
And here’s possibly the most controversial of them all. 84 Lumber showing a Mexican immigrant family attempting to cross into the United States.
This one has nearly 15,000 thumbs down from users showing their displeasure over the wedge driving ad. Users were not happy at all.
-Way to jump on the propaganda train 84lumber. You just lost a customer.
-So 84 lumber is encouraging illegal immigration in to the united states. If you are going to make a political statement, at least make a legal argument, not a half baked bs argument against the people and laws of this country.
-So As I understand It, 84Lumber is promoting illegal activity by putting a door where none should be?
Looks like the liberals who made these commercials might be answering to the conservatives running this country. Who else disliked the political BS these commercials spewed?
