Avocados From Mexico is back on the Super Bowl advertising game with #AvosInSpace, its latest TV commercial that is scheduled to make its official debut on Sunday, during the Big Game in San Francisco.
While the spot is not as adorable as that of last year (remember the polar bear clad in mariachi gear voting for Mexico?) it does a good job highlighting the ridiculousness of what the human race has become.
In the spot we see a bunch of aliens in a spaceship learning about human culture and our most unique Earthly possessions, which include emojis, torture devices (aka airplanes) chia pets and — oh dear — the infamous dress — or as the aliens refer to it, “the white and gold dress that caused a civil war.”
During a brief tour, the guide tells aliens about the most amazing thing of all: The avocados from Mexico, which are always in season, so you can enjoy them all year long.

Statistically, by some significant measure, Americans eat more avocadoes (in the form of guacamole) on Super Bowl Sunday than on any of the other 364 days. Hence, I find this annual splurge on the part of the Mexican Farmer’s Union to be somewhat ridiculous, akin to taking a presidential poll on November 4th. Honestly, this ad should run 14 days earlier, at the AFC and NFC championships, to remind Americans that their guacamole day is rapidly approaching.
