The Super Bowl offers a variety of reasons for people to tune in and watch the anticipated big game. For some, it’s the thrilling competition between two top-notch teams fighting for the championship title. For others, it’s a chance to gather with their loved ones, eat some tasty treats, and enjoy the star-studded halftime performance. (Can we talk about Rihanna nailing her performance?)

But if you’re here for the commercials, you’ve come to the right place. Whether you missed the game or just want to re-watch some of your favorite ads, we’ve got you covered.
Check out the best Super Bowl commercials below!
1. PopCorners Breaking Bad Super Bowl Commercial
Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul, and Raymond Cruz reunite as Walter White, Jesse Pinkman, and Tuco Salamanca in a commercial for a PopCorners. In the ad, the trio’s iconic roles are given a twist as “meth” is replaced with “corn chips.”
2. Ben Affleck Goes to Dunkin’
“Ben Affleck’s Love for Dunkin’ Donuts” has been making waves for a while now. In the commercial, the celebrity surprises drive-thru customers, including Jennifer Lopez, by serving them from the other side of the pickup window.
3. Poker Face
Peacock’s new mystery series created by Rian Johnson and featuring Natasha Lyonne had a charming advertisement. In the ad, Lyonne’s character, Charlie, who has a talent for spotting lies calls out various Super Bowl commercials.
4. Great Acting or Great Taste?
Pepsi Zero Sugar aired two commercials during the Super Bowl that questioned the credibility of actor endorsements. One starred Ben Stiller and the other Steve Martin. Both ads had quite entertaining moments, but the one featuring Steve Martin is going viral on social media, and for a good reason!
5. Not-So Clueless
Alicia Silverstone reprised her iconic role as Cher Horowitz in a commercial that had fans feeling nostalgic. The return of the beloved character from the movie “Clueless” was just simply iconic!
6. Sam Adams
A brighter Boston? Well, one can dream! This particular ad with Kevin Garnett wearing a turtleneck and glasses while promoting his new self-help book has earned my approval.
7. Doritos
Yes, the two artists from different generations joined forces! The commercial features Jack Harlow exchanging hip-hop for Doritos, much to Missy Elliott’s dismay, and starting a trend worldwide. Elton John makes a cameo appearance at the end. The ad not only brings together an unexpected trio but also gives the Hot 100 hit “Ring My Bell” by Anita Ward some much-needed attention.
8. John Travolta, Donald Faison and Zach Braff for T-Mobile
Donald Faison and Zach Braff had an epic reunion, even though it may not have been as legendary as the Breaking Bad reunion. The two teamed up for an ad promoting T-Mobile, using the classic song “Summer Nights” from Grease. The commercial received a boost when John Travolta joined in to ask for more information about T-Mobile’s latest offering. Braff styled his hair like a greaser and Travolta displayed his powerful singing voice, making the ad delightfully nostalgic.
9. Ozzy Osbourne for Workday

In the ad, legendary musicians Ozzy Osbourne, Paul Stanley from KISS, Joan Jett, Billy Idol, and Gary Clark Jr. express their frustration with corporate executives using the term “rock star” too casually. Stanley begins the ad by asking, “Hey corporate types, will you stop calling each other rock stars?” As he effortlessly plays an electrifying guitar solo, Clark Jr. challenges saying, “Hey Liz in HR! Can you do this?”
10. Meghan Trainor for Pringles
Have you ever had your hand stuck in a Pringles can? You’re not alone. In the Pringles Super Bowl ad, they show how everyone from judges to surgeons to Hot 100 artists like Meghan Trainor (who made a surprise appearance in the commercial set to Tina Turner’s hit song “The Best”) have all fallen for the irresistible lure of the long tube.
