Nationwide had everyone feeling good with its first Super Bowl commercial featuring Mindy Kaling, and then took it all away.
The second commercial got off to a good start, with a cute little kid talking about how he'd never get cooties or get married, and then there was the big reveal: He's dead.
And the entire Internet said, "Whaaaaatttt?!" Here are some of the best reactions:
Overheard in Nationwide advertising meeting: "Yeah, these are okay, but do you have anything where we can kill a kid?"

#Nationwide: "We killed an actual kid for this commercial just so you could understand we mean business."

Nice #Nationwide In case your kid dies, have insurance so you can go on vacation afterwards #SuperBowI

So everyone hated the Nationwide commercial. Which means everyone will be taking about Nationwide. Which means Nationwide wins.

Hey, what's the Super Bowl for if not being reminded of how fragile life truly is?
