The Hyundai Genesis featuring, Kevin Hart. The USA Polls stated, on February 8th, it was the best commercial of all the Super Bowl 50 ads. (Battaglio) Of all people Kevin Hart fits this ad perfectly due to him being a world renowned famous actor and comedian. With him being such a high profile actor, this sets the stage with regards to people who recognize him who are watching the ad. I think most men can relate to how Kevin thinks especially in this commercial due to him being extremely protective over his daughter on her first date. A regular first date in most modern day scenarios don't go how this ad went. Having Kevin Hart, as the daughter’s father, creates a very funny environment for the audience to be in.

He's just another one who has had to bite the fathers dust and be left behind as he is the one who signs off on all major decisions, this being one of them. The creator made his statements very discreet throughout the entire commercial by using indirect selling points attracting or planting seeds in the audiences head by making them think about what they would do if they were in the actor’s shoes and if it were their child.
