Tide, the official laundry detergent of the NFL, is back with another Super Bowl ad – this time with the help of legendary comedian and actor, Jason Alexander.
This year’s :60-second spot, at a cost of $11 million, will challenge people to think about all the situations they subject their clothes to on a daily basis.
Seinfeld’s Jason Alexander will debut a brand-new role animating a teenager’s hoodie, and proving that for everything our clothes go through, they deserve new Tide Hygienic Clean, developed to remove both visible and invisible dirt.
When you watch, be sure to check out Alexander’s changing expressions on the hoodie. The spot was directed by Biscuit’s Jeff Low and created by longtime agency Saatchi and Saatchi:

The spot marks the third consecutive year that Tide has used the Super Bowl to push advertising’s envelope, bending genres, leveraging creative properties and incorporating humor to remind consumers that, if it’s got to be clean, it’s got to be Tide.
Will the spot prove to be as popular as 2018’s “It’s a Tide Ad?” We shall see on February 7.
Nominate Someone You know For The Reel Black List OR Reel Women
Super Bowl LV (the 55th Super Bowl) will be played on Sunday, Feb. 7, 2021 on CBS. Kickoff is set for 6:30 PM EST, 5:30 PM CST and 3:30 PM PST.
