SUPER BOWL COMMERCIALS

Post Malone Parties With A Genie And A T-Rex In An Over-The-Top Super Bowl Ad For Bud Light

by

There is perhaps no artist better suited for a Bud Light endorsement than Post Malone, who has been sponsored on a tour by the beer brand, appeared on special edition cans, and hosted a New Year’s Eve livestream produced by it (with Jack Harlow in tow, naturally).

So, a Post Malone-starring Bud Light Super Bowl commercial is not only a no-brainer, it might just be the highest form of art available to modern audiences (aside from this, of course).

The plot — such as it is — revolves around a “Bud Light Genie” who pops out of an ice cold bottle and immediately begins granting all sorts of over-the-top wishes, from invisibility and “Peyton Manning as a best friend” to a house party with Posty himself. And a T-rex. That was Posty’s wish.

Interestingly enough, Post Malone will also be included in the sporting festivities on Super Bowl Sunday. He’s billed to sing “America The Beautiful” — which I sort of can’t wait to hear. Let Post do the National Anthem next year, cowards. He was also recently tapped by the one and only Taylor Swift to appear on her surprise album, The Tortured Poets Department, along with Florence + The Machine (am I going to actually listen to a Taylor Swift album this year??? YIKES).

The Funniest Super Bowl Commercials Of All Time

by

Super Bowl commercials have long been cultural staples. In a limited amount of time, they seek to tug at human emotions. However, most of these ads love a good joke as their backbone. That’s why the most memorable Super Bowl commercials are usually the funniest ones.

As Usher preps to headline the halftime show, we expect a new wave of hilarious ads. For example, Cardi B will star in a Super Bowl NYX commercial. Moreover, as fans anticipate what’s to come from the hilarious rapper, many other stars like Ice Spice are set to star in a host of commercials as well. With that being said, the following is a list of humorous Super Bowl commercials that fans can’t get over. 

7. “This Is Getting Old” (2018)

E*Trade has quite a long list of famous Super Bowl commercials. A more recent addition to the company’s hilarious commercials is 2018’s “This is Getting Old.” The video features clips of older folks belting out the eerily fitting “Day-O” chorus: “I’m 85, and I want to go home.” We get clips of the fur-coated DJ NANA headlining a rave, as well as a senior Firewoman as she’s whipped around by the water hose. There’s even a senior lifeguard disrupting the Baywatch-style march of his younger, toned colleagues. However, the humorous finance company’s commercial closes with a sobering stat: roughly one-third of Americans lack retirement savings.

6. “Puppy Monkey Baby” (2016)

Hated by some, loved by many, “Puppy Monkey Baby” was a bizarre yet hilarious commercial. Mountain Dew sponsored the commercial for their new drink: the Mountain Dew Kickstart. This drink was an interesting combination of soda, juice, and caffeine. In the commercial, the drink is served up by Puppy Monkey Baby—a dancing mascot with a pug’s face, monkey’s body and baby’s legs. The scene would probably remain bizarre if it didn’t end with the strange creature getting its own backup dancers to join in the party and birthing a viral sensation.

5. “The Man Your Man Could Smell Like” (2010)

As a brand, Old Spice managed to reach an advertising peak in 2010. In one of the most hilarious commercials of all time, this now iconic Old Spice ad premiered at the Super Bowl. On paper, it’s all about getting your man to smell as good as the protagonist. However, Old Spice opened up a multiverse of some sorts, with many other brands following a similar pattern.

4. “Terry Tate: Office Linebacker” (2003)

In 2003, Reebok unleashed office mayhem with Terry “Terrible” Tate for Super Bowl XXXVII. The idea was born from the short film Pilot, by Peter Chiarelli in 2000. Tate, a character Lester Speight portrays, is an American football linebacker turned office enforcer. Tate’s catchphrases became popular, from the ominous “The pain train’s coming” to the coffee-centric “You kill the joe, you make some mo.” It remains one of the most memorable Super Bowl commercials, blending humor and workplace dynamics seamlessly.

3. “It’s A Tide Ad” (2018)

In 2018, Tide pulled off the ultimate ad takeover, compiling numerous Super Bowl commercials and turning them into Tide ads. Narrated by David Harbour, the company basically declared that whenever viewers laid eyes on spotless clothes, they had Tide to thank. The twist? Harbour popped up not just once, but a whopping seven separate times. Did you think that was the beginning of Old Spice’s “The Man Your Man Could Smell Like” commercial? Wrong! It’s a Tide ad! Altogether, it was the Rick Roll version of commercials, and everyone loved it.

2. “You’re Not You When You’re Hungry” (2010)

One of the most iconic Super Bowl commercials features the talented and humorous Betty White. It starts with a group of guys getting down and dirty playing tackle ball with the iconic Golden Girl. Specifically, White gets tackled down hard into a mud puddle by one of the guys. Soon after, one of the guys shouts at her, “Mike! You’re playing like Betty White out there.”  In a hilarious twist, she fired back: “That’s not what your girlfriend says.” Overall, heads were turned, and White furthered her icon status. 

1. “Alexa Loses Her Voice” (2018)

Amazon hit the jackpot with the celebrity-fueled Alexa ad in 2018. It features notable names like Cardi B, Anthony Hopkins, and Gordon Ramsey. One of the most hilarious Super Bowl commercials of all time, it gives us a peek into what life would be like if Alexa lost her voice. Needless to say, Alexa doesn’t need any celeb replacements anytime soon.

Ice Spice Solidifies Her Stardom In Her First Super Bowl Commercial Teaser

by

For the past few years, there has been no greater sign of a new entertainer’s ascendency than starring in a Super Bowl ad. It’s an honor normally reserved for household names, folks with the sort of brand recognition that ensures viewers at home do the real-life version of that Leonardo DiCaprio pointing at the TV meme from Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.

It looks like the latest rising star to receive that honor is Ice Spice, who will appear in her first-ever Super Bowl commercial for upstart soft drink brand Starry. Starry ( a rebranded Sierra Mist) has been using its competitor Sprite’s 1990s marketing approach, directing its efforts at a “cool/young” demographics via sponsoring the NBA’s All-Star events and employing contemporary rappers in its advertising.

According to AdAge, the brand’s efforts to tap Gen Z have focused on TikTok, where Ice Spice notoriously first made her entry into the public consciousness before becoming nearly ubiquitous in 2023 with features alongside Taylor Swift (“Karma” remix) and Nicki Minaj, the latter on both her own “Princess Diana” remix and the inescapable Barbie soundtrack hit, “Barbie World.”

In the teaser for the ad, which Starry shared today on YouTube, Ice Spice is on a date with a new guy (sipping a Starry, of course) when she notices her ex walk in. We don’t get to see what happens next, which will presumably be revealed during the Super Bowl itself. For now you can check out the teaser above.

Ice Spice’s Debut Super Bowl Commercial Will Show Off The Rapper’s Sweet Side With A Soda Partnership

Taylor Swift’s domination of NFL coverage has sprouted a new subset of at-home viewers. While avid football fans are excited to watch the epic sports showdown at this year’s Super Bowl, others are tuning in for a different genre of entertainment: Some non-sports fans’ interest in the evening is Usher’s halftime show performance. The other remaining curiosity is lasered in on what witty commercials are set to air throughout the broadcast.

Today (January 9), Billboard exclusively revealed that “In Ha Mood” rapper Ice Spice has been tapped for a coveted advertisement slot. As Starry’s newest celebrity ambassador, Ice Spice will lend her likeness to the company for its upcoming Super Bowl commercial. You might recall Ice Spice’s signature drink deal with Dunkin last year, but this is quite different.

Instead of formulating a new beverage concoction, Ice Spice will simply sit pretty as she sips on PepsiCo’s newest lemon-lime soda, which was introduced in 2023. This national coverage is just the fizz she needs going into the promotion of her forthcoming debut studio album. A representative for the company referred to the partnership with Ice Spice as “a no-brainer.”

“Ice Spice’s charm and charisma are unmatched, making her the perfect fit for the brand’s first Super Bowl commercial,” read the statement.

Ice Spice echoed that in her note shared with Billboard. “I’m hyped to star in the first-ever STARRY Super Bowl commercial,” she said. “Trust me. STARRY is a vibe.

Jennifer Lopez’s Super Bowl Commerical With Husband Ben Affleck Proves She’s Still Jenny From The Block

Move over, Cardi B and Offset. You two aren’t the only beloved entertainment couple putting their love for one another, along with their love of fast food, on full display during Super Bowl LVII. Instead of a burger and fries at McDonald’s, Jennifer Lopez and her husband, Ben Affleck, lent their famous faces to the coffee company Dunkin’ Donuts.

Affleck is a notorious lover of the chain, having been spotted at several locations across the country. But during the commercial, he switches places. Rather than his usual role of customer, he is now a worker surprising drive-thru patrons… and the last of which is his singer and fellow actress wife, Jennifer Lopez.

The franchise quickly posted the commercial after airing during the Super Bowl onto their official Twitter page with the caption, “They say go big or go home, so Ben went big and came home to Massachusetts.” Lopez wasted no time in quote tweeting with her sole line from the commercial, “#GrabMeAGlazed.”

Lopez has sung all about her need to remain humble despite her fame. Whether she’s singing about how her love doesn’t cost a thing or how she’s still just “Jenny from the block,” she has proved it in this funny commercial.

Super Bowl 2023 Commercials: Doja Cat, Snoop Dogg, and More

by

It’s almost time for the Super Bowl and it’s all anyone is talking about. The Eagles are playing against the Chiefs. Rihanna is headlining the Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show. It’s going to be historic, as always. However, enough people watch the Super Bowl for the commercials that they’re worth talking about. This year’s lineup of ads includes the likes of many familiar faces, all promoting products and brands in ways that we’ll all buzz about.

One of the most notable Super Bowl commercials this year is PopCorners’ return to the Breaking Bad universe, including none other than Bryan Cranston playing Walter White. Additionally, Aaron Paul will be reviving his character, Jesse Pinkman, in what could possibly be the last hurrah. “I’ve had opportunities to bring Walter White back into the milieu twice,” Cranston told ExtraTV. “I did it for Aaron’s movie El Camino and then once again for Better Call Saul. We were able to come back. And each time, we think, ‘Well, this is the last time we’re ever going to do this.’ And then PopCorners calls and it was like, ‘Well, we’ll do it one more time and then that’s it.’ So this might be the retiring episode of the Breaking Bad universe.”

PopCorners: Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul, and Raymond Cruz

This is only one of the many star-studded and to-be-discussed commercials during the Super Bowl this year. Ben Stiller and Steve Martin are representing Pepsi, showcasing their acting abilities in a multitude of roles and concluding with taking a sip of the drink and asking the audience “Is it good? Or am I just acting?” Will Ferrell dives deep into the Netflix universe, entering the worlds of shows like Squid Game, Breaking Bad, and Stranger Things. Melissa McCarthy and Ben Falcone sing a musical about Booking.com and John Cena sings a musical about paying rent for Experian.

Check out the lineup of musicians in the Super Bowl commercials. The list includes performers like Diddy making the perfect hit for Uber One with special guests. Additionally, Doja Cat showcases the Google Pixel 7’s camera for Google. Also, Snoop Dogg matches his Skechers to his many colorful outfits. Meghan Trainor gets her hand stuck in a Pringles can for the brand, and Nick Jonas shows off his Dexcom G7. Watch these and more below.

Uber One: Diddy, Montell Jordan, Kelis, Donna Lewis, Haddaway, and Ylvis

Skechers: Snoop Dogg, Howie Long, Tony Romo, and Martha Stewart

Google: Doja Cat, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Amy Schumer

Dexcom: Nick Jonas

Busch Light: Sarah McLachlan

Budweiser: Metro Boomin and Kevin Bacon

Pringles: Meghan Trainor

Missy Elliott Teases A Love Triangle With Jack Harlow In A New Doritos Teaser Ahead Of The Super Bowl

by

We are just weeks away from Super Bowl LVII, and while the game is a thrill in and of itself, fans look equally forward to the star-studded commercials. Over the past few weeks Doritos has teased a scandalous love triangle-themed spot with Jack Harlow. Now, it seems like hip-hop icon Missy Elliott is joining in on the fun.

In the clip, Elliott answers a phone call from the “First Class” hitmaker himself.

“What’s up? Collab? You know I’ve been waiting to collab,” she says on the phone.

Shortly after, Elliott looks puzzled.

“A love triangle?” Elliott says. “I don’t know about that.”

Though Harlow himself is neither seen nor heard during the sneak preview, Elliott’s reactions say it all. At the end of the clip, the screen reads “2.12.2023,” suggesting that both stars will appear in the Doritos ad set to air during the Super Bowl.

Super Bowl LVII will take place on February 12 at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. Kick-off will begin at 6:30 EST and the game will broadcast on Fox.

You can check out the sneak peek of the Doritos spot above.

Jack Harlow Might Be In A Love Triangle In A Preview For His Upcoming Super Bowl Ad

by

It’s the most wonderful time of the year. No, not that time — the time we get a slew of new, over-the-top commercials featuring our favorite actors, artists, and athletes pitching already ubiquitous products, all timed to air during the biggest football game of the year (which almost nobody watches for the actual football). We’ve already heard some buzz about Cardi B and Offset’s lovey-dovey spot for McDonald’s, but now, the trailers are finally hitting the net.

And as depressing a prospect as it is for television advertisements to have preview trailers, we’ve gotta look for some fun in the bleak times we’re living through. And you know who’s been having a lot of fun recently? Jack Harlow. The Louisville rapper blew up in a big way just before the pandemic and he hasn’t shown any signs of slowing up yet. Naturally, his stardom makes him an excellent pitchman — he also has an appealing, laid-back charisma and goofy sense of humor that lends well to that sort of thing — so he’s been recruited to sell everything from basketball kicks to fried chicken.

In his upcoming Super Bowl ad, he’ll be graduating to corn chips, as he munches on Doritos in the back of a limo while paparazzi ask him about a potential love triangle. We’ll have to wait for the big game to see how it shakes out, but Jack acquits himself well here and ensures we’ll at least be seeing a lot of him on TV this year, even as he heads to Vegas for a month-long residency.

Cardi B And Offset Shot A Valentine’s Day-Themed McDonald’s Commercial For Super Bowl Sunday

Cardi B is making her second appearance in a Super Bowl commercial and this time, she’s bringing her husband Offset along with her. The pair has always been very publicly romantic, sharing a wealth of videos and photos about their daily life and giving each other extravagant gifts, so it’s only right that the commercial in question is Valentine’s Day-themed, according to TMZ. They shot the ad over the holidays with a small crew, but according to TMZ’s infamous and eerily accurate sources, the scale will go much bigger by the time the spot airs on Super Bowl Sunday.

They also didn’t bring their kids along, so the ad is expected to be more romantic in nature than family-oriented (although it is for McDonald’s and will air during the biggest sporting event of the yea, so it probably won’t be as risque as some of their couples content). The timing of the ad’s air date is also quite opportune, given that the Super Bowl will take place just two days before Valentine’s Day on February 12.

As noted by TMZ, it was at the Super Bowl in 2017 that Cardi and Offset first went public as a couple, making this something of a full-circle moment for them. Cardi also starred in her first Super Bowl ad in 2019, after her song “I Like It” was used to promote Pepsi alongside Lil Jon, Steve Carrell, and more.
