In 1992, A classic superbowl ad: “Nikeʹs Hare Jordan” No Super Bowl commercial captured the hearts and imagination of TV viewers like this Nike classic (left). Two American folk heroes-the recently retired Michael Jordan and the still-on-the-active-roster Bugs Bunny-play a rousing game of hoops. This ad had it all: big stars, visual puns, talking animals, special effects and direction by the Steven Spielberg of Madison Avenue, Joe Pytka. Ad writer Jim Riswold of agency Wieden and Kennedy originally wrote it because he wanted to work with his childhood hero: Bugs Bunny. Of course, Jordanʹs availability was a pretty nice bonus. And talk about impact: “Hare Jordan” was so successful, it inspired the full-length feature film Space Jam.
In 1992, A classic superbowl ad: “Pepsiʹs Two Kids” If Michael Jordan is the king of the Super Bowl ad parade, then Cindy Crawford should be crowned the queen. This ad (left), in which Crawford emerges from a red sports car, downs a can of Pepsi and is ogled by two young boys, was Cindyʹs breakthrough. The two young fellows appear to be drooling over the leggy model until the kicker reveals that they were really admiring the new Pepsi can from which Crawford was swigging. According to BBDO ad exec Don Schneider, Crawford was not originally cast in the commercial. Pepsi had already hired a blond, Nordic-looking model, but the agency and director Pytka replaced her with Crawford at the urging of a BBDO writer who had spotted the beauty-marked stunner on a calendar purchased by his daughter while on a trip to Marthaʹs Vineyard.

In 1997, A classic superbowl ad: “Mcilhenny Tabasco Pepper Sauceʹs Mosquito” Few low-profile advertisers have gotten as much bang for their Super Bowl bucks as McIlhenny. In this unforgettably vivid commercial, created by the DBNeedhamagency, a mosquito vaporizes midair after taking a bite out of a guy who has just eaten a piece of Tabasco-doused pizza. The spot put the tiny Louisiana food company in the same creative league as Pepsi, Budweiser and Nike. “Mosquito” first aired in limited markets during the 1997 Super Bowl. But it won so much critical and consumer praise (and so many ad awards) that the company couldnʹt resist airing it nationally during 1998's Super spectacle.
