News and features related to Super Bowl games and commercials shown during those games.
Enjoy this Super Bowl folks, it may in fact be our last. At least according to the Mayan calendar and this Chevy ad, which manages to somehow slip marketing speak into a character’s mouth and have it come out funny. Make sure you have the right truck when the end of the world hits.
Chevy manages to be both funny and informative, in this spot where intergalactic aliens apparently can’t make sense of a hybrid vehicle. It’s okay, we can’t make much sense of them either. Would you let aliens look at your wife like that? We wouldn’t either.
The U.S. isn’t the only country to enjoy Super Bowl commercials. Budweiser Canada played the most kind-spirited prank on two amateur Canadian hockey teams, and treated them to a “flash-mob” of epic proportions. This spot will air during the Canadian Super Bowl broadcast, but we get to enjoy it here first!
The official title of this spot tells you everything you need to know. We think it’s safe to say that where they dropped the ball with last year’s ad, Teleflora will get everyone’s attention this time around. It’s not creative, but it’s sexy and effective.
Sacha Baron Cohen is back, this time with a movie that does not rely on the torment of others for laughs. The Dictator looks hilarious, though hopefully it’s a real movie and not just a bunch of jokes strung together. Either way, this looks funny.
Despite the first movie being utterly terrible, the trailer for the inevitable G.I. Joe sequel will make its Super Bowl debut this Sunday. What’s striking about this sequel is how not-terrible it actually looks, like the G.I. Joe movie the first one should have been. And wait until the end… you won’t believe who’s in it.
Get ready for the most epic, jaw-dropping car commercial that you’ve seen in your entire life. Adriana Lima, Motley Crue, and 100-foot hoagies being sawn in half by hirsute lumberjacks all come together in a manly orgy of fast driving and loud music.
As much as we love to criticize car ads that feature shiny cars driving fast and generally being boring, something about this spot made us want to test-drive the new Cadillac. It was probably the tangible bitterness dripping from the narrator’s voice as he advises you to tell people “go to Green Hell”.
This spot features an element that may change based on the course of the game. Coke executives will be standing by, ready to make the call on which version to air. This, along with some online elements featuring the iconic bears, should make for an interesting commercial experiment.
Chevy offers a look at their new Sonic performing a series of “firsts”: skydiving, bungee jumping, kick flipping, and performing with OK GO in a music video. It’s a fun commercial for what looks like a fun car, and the giant skateboard is amazing. Balls-of-steel award goes to the driver in the kick-flip stunt.
They’re back folks, and we welcome them with open arms. While we’re all for treating animals kindly and with dignity, we can’t help but disagree with PETA on this one: these chimps look like they’re have a ball, and given the choice we’re sure they’d opt to be in the ad rather than sitting in a zoo or flight simulator somewhere.
Volkswagen’s excellent new Beetle commercial manages to tell its own story while paying tribute to their smash hit from last year’s game. This extended version adds an extra 15 seconds to the 60-second spot that will be shown February 5, but you’ve all been really good this year so we thought you deserved it.
