It may not have been emotionally-charged and it might not have made a political statement, but Mr Clean’s Super Bowl ad will probably go down as the most memorable of this year’s game.
The 30-second spot shows a woman instantly attracted to the animated Mr Clean character, who shows off his sexy dance moves as he does the housework, while wearing a tight white t-shirt and matching pants that emphasize his features.
It was a silly piece of light-hearted relief that seemed to tickle (and slightly disturb) viewers, judging by the Twitter reaction:

Aside from the ad itself, the brand was also active on Twitter during the game, using the Mr Clean account to troll other Super Bowl advertisers:
