The Super Bowl is one of the few cultural events to enrapture the entire nation. Even if sports aren't your thing, the halftime show probably is. And then there's the commercials, which have consistently been a highlight of the festivities.

Brands go all out, dropping millions on flashy spots brimming with celebrities and nostalgia that aim to split sides or spill tears. Naturally, we had to compile a list of our favorites.**

So, how did we choose which ads made the final cut? They had to:

- Make us want stuff (duh)

- Make us feel stuff (haha or *aww*)

- Have star quality (we can't look away)

- Explain the product (in a nutshell)

Now, ahead of the 2026** **Super Bowl, here are the best commercials that stole focus from the big game.

"Hey Kid, Catch!" — Coca-Cola (1980)

As an injured (and concerningly sad-looking) "Mean" Joe Greene hobbles off the field, a kid straight outta *Sesame Street* offers him a cold glass bottle of Coke. Greene downs it, throws the kid his jersey, smiles, and all is right with the world. Sweet, simple, effective — Don Draper couldn't have done it better.

Though it actually debuted in 1979, this ad was best known for airing during Super Bowl XIV in 1980, when the Pittsburgh Steelers faced off against the Los Angeles Rams, because guess who was on the field that day? None other than Greene, celebrity multitasker — drinking Coke in the ads *and* kicking butt in the game, driving the Steelers to their (and his) *fourth* SB victory. Amazing! This commercial wound up winning a bunch of awards and inspired a made-for-TV movie — *The Steeler and the Pittsburgh Kid* — about a football team (yes, *team*) that adopts a 9-year-old boy, starring Greene and *E.T.*'s Henry Thomas. *—Debby Wolfinsohn*

"1984" — Apple (1984)

No list would be complete without mentioning the SB O.G., Apple's "1984." But first, a quick history lesson. Back in — yes — 1984, Apple was still a scrappy 8-year-old company, an underground underdog fighting against the evil squares (a.k.a. corporate-suited IBM overlords). Not only did they need to sell personal computers, they needed to sell the *idea *of personal computers, a tall order for a small company with a limited budget. They knew there was no better way to reach the masses in the pre-internet era than a Super Bowl spot — the challenge was how to get a big message across in a short amount of time.

So they brought in the big guns: *Alien* director Ridley Scott and George Orwell in spirit (his novel *1984* inspired the whole thing). As an onscreen Big Brother preaches about "Information Purification Directives" to a crowd of sheeple (London skinheads cast as extras!), a lady wearing shorts and a tank top runs in, pursued by the Thought Police. Hurling a hammer at the screen, she destroys it (we don't have room to discuss the irony of how all we do now is look at Apple screens) and, as it explodes, these words scroll: "On January 24, Apple will introduce Macintosh..." So was this Chiat/Day creation worth the money? Setting aside the fact that this article was written on a MacBook and you're probably reading it on an iPhone...after the ad aired, people *rushed* into Apple stores and the company reported a huge spike in sales. *—D.W.*

"Hare Jordan" — Nike (1993)

Back in 1993, history was made when Bugs Bunny met Michael Jordan, with this charming commercial spawning a successful movie franchise: a little thing called *Space Jam* (1996).

Though it is true that this Nike spot from the Wieden & Kennedy agency wasn't the only movie that started as an ad (there are a few more, including the 1985 TV movie *Max Headroom *and 2018's *Uncle Drew*), it's arguably the most well-known and enduring. Bugs declares to Jordan, "This could be the beginning of a *beauty*-ful friendship!" Indeed, it was. *—D.W.*

Guy Fieri's wild transformation for Super Bowl ad started out as a dare

"Budweiser Frogs" — Budweiser (1995)

You know how commercials are often louder than the actual show? The legendary Bud Frogs ad takes the opposite approach — it is, in the words of Björk, *oh so quiet*. This is especially clever when you consider what viewers were subjected to before the ad aired: the noise of the game, the cheering crowd, the hyped-up announcers, and then...this. The spot's use of literal *crickets *works like an audio magnet, drawing attention to itself in an instant.

And we haven't even mentioned the stars — three frogs sitting in a swamp, croaking out the name of the beer, sometimes in order, sometimes not. Paragons of chill, the equivalent of three buddies drinking a few beers, too tired to get up off their lily pads/sofas. Quite the cool concept, which is not surprising, given its director, a young Gore Verbinski, later went on to helm three of the *Pirates of the Caribbean* movies. *—D.W.*

"Bud Ice Penguin" — Budweiser (1996)

From Frank Sinatra's lips to a penguin's ears (or something), this unsettling series for Bud Ice presents like an inside joke you don't understand and, thus, *really* want to. The "concept," if you could call it that, seems to be a connection between the name of the product and the fact that penguins, uh, live where there's ice.

But hey, this was the '90s, when being weird for weird's sake was a *thing*, and a creepy animatronic penguin lurking in the shadows and terrorizing humans in a variety of '90s-ish noir settings is definitely that. Plus, the fact that the expressionless penguin announces itself by singing Sinatra's "dooby dooby doo" scat part from the end of "Strangers in the Night," a song he famously hated, is the real key to the spot's success. *—D.W.*

"Wassup!" — Budweiser (2000)

Airing at halftime during the 2000 Super Bowl, this Budweiser ad about friends talking in shorthand instantly went viral. Adapted from a short film by Charles Stone III (who went on to direct 2002's *Drumline* and *Uncle Drew*,* *among others), Stone also directed the ad (casting himself and his best buds), preserving the sense of realism, friendship, and silliness that made it such a classic.

The guys are great, the sentiment is great, and it's all anchored by Stone as the dude on the couch who initiates the now-infamous phone call. *—D.W.*

"Cat Herding" — EDS (2000)

Like the best *Saturday Night Live* sketches, this ad personifies the beauty of taking a ridiculous concept and running with it. Considered by ad aficionados to be the best of the best, it takes a hard-to-explain concept ("Managing the complexities of a digital economy?") and visually explains it in a way even someone halfway through a six-pack could comprehend.

Not to mention, the thing has so much pure entertainment value — herds of cats running across the prairie as a bunch of rough-edged cowboys chase them — it remains irresistible to this day. *—D.W.*

"The Joy of Pepsi" – Pepsi (2001)

Some commercials perfectly encapsulate the time in which they were made. Such is the case with Pepsi's collaboration with Britney Spears, when the pop star was truly on top of the world. The 90-second ad features a Britney-fied remix of the soft drink company's "The Joy of Pepsi" jingle from 1999 as she performs her signature choreography.

The commercial humorously cuts to everyday viewers — who might as well be analogs for us on the couch — enraptured by Spears' girl-next-door effervescence. For a certain generation, it's hard not to look back on this one without some pangs of nostalgia. —*Kevin Jacobsen***

"Terry Tate: Office Linebacker" — Reebok (2003)

"Hey, Janice!" This is THE funniest Super Bowl commercial of all time, and if you don't agree with us, well, you better watch your back because Terry Tate is coming for you. Lester Speight, the actor who plays Terry Tate, possesses the delivery and timing of a true comic master. He's so convincing, in fact, that until we did the research for this article, we thought Terry Tate was, um, a real NFL player (though he did play in college). But it's not exactly a surprise, seeing as how Speight is closer to *SNL* than NFL (and makes us ROFL).

And while we have to admire this ad for being almost an anti-ad (Reebok is *scarcely *mentioned), this win for comedy was a loss for the shoe company, which considered it a failure and ended the campaign soon after it began. The director, Rawson Marshall Thurber, went on to a successful comedy career (no surprise!) directing and acting in *Dodgeball* (2004) and *Central Intelligence* (2016), among other projects. *—D.W.*

"Cast Away" — FedEx (2006)

Spoiler alert: If you haven't seen the movie *Cast Away,* you probably won't get the punchline that makes this such a great ad. The 2000 film stars Tom Hanks, with supporting roles played by Wilson Sporting Goods and FedEx (seriously).

The question was how to parody a movie in which the company itself played a pivotal part. The ad agency BBDO New York rose to the challenge with a simple — but effective — O. Henry-style twist. *—D.W.*

"Talking Babies" — E*Trade (2008)

Merging 1989's *Look Who's Talking* with Wall Street bro audio (and purposely low-fi video to add to the realness), E*Trade hit the conceptual jackpot and stuck the landing with magnetic results, leaving viewers everywhere unable to look away. What better way to convey the message — *so simple, even a baby can do it* — than literally using babies? This low-budget-looking spot was way more successful than the company's previous 2000 Super Bowl ad, the one that bragged about wasting 2 million bucks while showing a monkey dancing on a bucket. Funny, isn't it, how that one didn't inspire people to trust E*Trade with their money?

Enter these pint-sized financial wizards, so successful they inspired countless spinoffs, guest spots, and reboots. The tots' looks and gestures somehow communicate an offhand, casual understanding of the financial topics they're discussing — perfectly paired with the almost drowsy, adult male voice — and the result is a comedy alchemy that cannot be explained, only admired. *—D.W.*

"Parisian Love" — Google (2010)

While we never imagined a touching short story could be told through the medium of a *search window*, Google proved us wrong.

Meticulous from the first piano notes — perfectly matching the pulse of the blinking cursor — to the last search, "how to assemble a crib," Google demonstrates the power of their product via a 52-second romantic tale that rivals many two-hour movies. *—D.W.*

"Betty White for Snickers" — Snickers (2010)

She has just two lines, and she absofreakinlutely nails them. All hail Betty White. *—D.W.*

"The Force" — Volkswagen (2011)

Volkswagen nearly perfected the formula for an effective Super Bowl commercial here: cute kid/animal; universal themes of childhood wonder; and simple, effective storytelling that makes you want to support the company. Set to John Williams' iconic "Imperial March" theme from *Star Wars*, the ad centers on a young boy walking around the house in his Darth Vader costume, trying in vain to use "the Force" on various household items as well as the dog. Dejected, he tries one last time on the family's Volkswagen Passat, which, to the boy's astonishment, suddenly starts (thanks to his father doing so remotely, of course).

Max Page, who was 7 years old when he played the *Star Wars*-loving tyke, was overwhelmed by the positive response to the ad, telling PEOPLE in 2018, "It was more than I could have ever imagined, especially at 7. I didn't even know what a Super Bowl commercial meant, I didn't understand the magnitude it would have. For it to become something of this caliber is just awesome." *—K.J.***

"Brotherhood" — Budweiser (2013)

Budweiser loves showing its sensitive side, especially when it comes to its Clydesdales. Despite being purchased by brewing behemoth InBev in 2008, they're hanging onto the draft horse tradition, including the farm in Missouri where these beauties are raised. As even the most casual football fan knows, the Budweiser Clydesdales have starred in many Super Bowl classics, from a somber 9/11 tribute to a rousing horse football game. These ads may be simple, and they may be corny, but they are also an apple-pie American tradition — and we kinda love that.

In January 2023, four baby Clydes were born at the Missouri farm, and in their honor, we chose this commercial about the farmer who raises a Clydesdale from birth only to let him go. This ad is a guaranteed tear-jerker, so if you click on it in public, well, don't say we didn't warn you. *—D.W.*

"Viva Young" — Taco Bell (2013)

Taco Bell's wild *Cocoon*-inspired slice of life shows off what's best about the chain: The food is cheap, fast, and preferably consumed after partying and in the company of friends. In other words, it's ideal broke teenager food. And if the "teens," in this case, are played by a group of adorable octogenarians? Even better.

Bopping along to a Spanish-language version of fun.'s "We Are Young," this spot sums up the nostalgia many of us have for the Bell while beautifully connecting the restlessness of youth with the restlessness of old age. As it turns out, eating tacos (and pranking neighbors) is something we can enjoy forever — from senior year to the senior years. *—D.W.*

"It's a Tide Ad" — Tide (2018)

Shh. Hear that? It's every other Super Bowl ad jealously fuming at the audacity of Tide's 2018 campaign. Straight outta Hawkins, Ind., David Harbour deadpans his way through basically every television commercial you can think of, from cars to beer to Mr. Clean. The commercials look SO real that the effect is like an extended April Fool's prank, with Harbour popping up in each one, declaring in his signature dry style, "Nope, it's a Tide ad."

These commercials were sprinkled throughout the whole game, which drove the point home — and landed the campaign on many "best" lists the next morning. Mattresses, Alexa, insurance, you name it...once Harbour points out that everyone's clothes are clean (which they are, at least in ads) and throws out the tagline, it's done. ALL the ads become Tide ads in your mind, and you can't unsee it. Not to get too* Twilight Zone* about it, but isn't that the ultimate goal of every ad: buying space in your head? *—D.W.*

"Michael Bublé vs. Bubly" — Bubly (2019)

Remember that kid who got straight A's, starred in the school play, won the science fair, *and *was a star athlete? That kid you wanted to hate but couldn't because they were so dang charming, funny, and talented? That's what this ad is. It checks every box on our list and drives the message home like a perfect field goal. It also gently reflects one of our favorite recent advertising trends as of late — a star (in this case, Michael Bublé) in "real life" is actually kind of a dork, not the sharpest tool in the shed, and is maybe even a bit...aggravating.

The reactions from the "regular people" Bublé encounters (and annoys) in the store are priceless, as is the singer's full commitment to lunkheaded-ness (and the way he pronounces "Dave"). They're all tolerating him, but *just* barely. We should add that this commercial was probably inspired by a very famous, extremely beloved sketch about mispronunciation, though the conclusions are quite different. *—D.W.*

"The Mix-Up" — T-Mobile (2021)

A celebrity Mad-Lib mashup that does a bunch of things at once, including getting the point of the product across while simultaneously commenting on Gwen Stefani's odd-couple relationship. Clever personified, it begins with a phone call from Stefani to her fellow *Voice* coach Adam Levine, asking him to be a matchmaker. But in the middle of describing her wish list for the perfect man, her phone cuts out a few choice words, *completely* changing their meaning.

And guess what? This mix-up describes her now-hubby Blake Shelton to a T (Mobile), the man she didn't even know she wanted. Which, now that we think about it, actually encourages you NOT to purchase this product? But we'll give that detail a pass because the spot is smart, funny, and satisfying. It's a four-chair turn of a Super Bowl ad! *—D.W.*

"Alexa Loses Her Voice" — Amazon (2021)

We all have a love-hate relationship with technology, and Amazon explores this concept in their brilliant "Alexa Loses Her Voice'' commercial. It's funny, but also threaded with a lot of the conflicting feelings we have about our daily robot interactions, Amazon-branded or not. With the exception of the Jeff Bezos cameo (we're kidding, please don't cancel our Prime), this spot is glamorously star-studded and super clever.

The concept is perfect — Alexa is "sick" and has to take a day off, so her fill-ins are celebs with distinctive voices (Anthony Hopkins, Gordon Ramsay, Rebel Wilson). But the greatest star turn of all comes from Cardi B. The look on the Alexa user's face (a stern-looking middle-aged white guy) who asks for country music and receives Cardi, only to ask again and receive silence (somehow dripping with attitude) before she starts rapping *again* is priceless. And knowing how much money even a few *seconds *of Super Bowl airtime costs makes it even better, *okurrr*? *—D.W.*

"Zeus and Hera Retire" — BMW (2022)

This is one of those Super Bowl commercials that's so good, you feel let down when you realize it's an ad and not a trailer. Shot like prestige TV, the brilliantly cast Arnold Schwarzenegger (as Zeus) and Salma Hayek (as Hera) have retired to Palm Springs, where Zeus fumbles with the microwave and recharges his neighbor's garden tools with his lightning bolt fingers, as Hera strolls around looking amazing in her toga and asking her husband to walk their tiny pet Pegasus.

How do a midlife crisis, Greek mythos, the music of Eddy Grant, and a single moment of breaking the fourth wall (credit: Hayek) sell BMW's all-electric car? Brilliantly. *—D.W.*

"Don't Miss Out" — FTX (2022)

Before you say anything about how this, in hindsight, is now more sad than funny, let's look at the commercial on its own merits (putting aside the fact that FTX likely illegally financed the ad with customer funds). Not only did Dentsu, the ad agency, produce something incredibly clever, it also succeeded in tackling the biggest Super Bowl ad challenge of 'em all: introducing a relatively new idea (in this case, crypto), which is a much harder sell than shilling toothpaste or hamburgers. Bonus points for pitching it as a fantastically funny story, during which we see Larry David, the stand-in for every crypto naysayer, moving through time, declaring inventions like the wheel, indoor toilets, and electric lights to be useless or unnecessary.

By building on an established character (LD) whose traits we're already familiar with, the commercial makes its point clear in the first 10 seconds, letting us enjoy the pure humor for the rest of the running time. The wild thing is that the man who purchased this ad (CEO Sam Bankman-Fried) is now incarcerated. But even wilder? Larry David was right! And since he never said crypto was a good idea, he actually comes out of the whole mess clean (cleaner than other celeb endorsers, at least). And if THAT doesn't sound like an episode of *Curb Your Enthusiasm*,* *we don't know what does. *—D.W.*

"Forever" — The Farmer's Dog (2023)

Few things activate the waterworks as easily as a dog's unconditional love. Most companies understand this and therefore utilize canine companions for easy sentiment even when their brand has nothing to do with them. But the Farmer's Dog, a healthy dog food subscription service, lovingly demonstrated its purpose with this touching commercial about a dog and its beloved owner.

"Forever" follows a teenage girl who grows into adulthood with her dog by her side through all of life's highs and lows. The commercial then brilliantly switches perspective as we see everything from the dog's point of view. Cue everyone with a fur baby of their own crying into their beer and chicken wings. *—K.J.***

Brita Meng Outzen/Christopher's Haven

When it comes to the Super Bowl, fandom runs the spectrum from those who are just there for the snacks to those who are invested in the outcome to those who have achieved something beyond superfandom. For these celebrity fans of the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots, the two teams facing off in the Super Bowl on Feb. 8, they've achieved that final level.

We're talking high-stakes wagers between Chris Evans (Patriots) and Chris Pratt (Seahawks), who, during the last time the two teams went head-to-head, bet a visit to the winner's children's hospital of choice wearing the opposite team's gear. (That's Pratt in a Patriots jersey against his will, above — though don't worry, Evans still went to Seattle in Captain America gear like the winner he was that year.)

We're talking celebrities for whom their Patriots fandom is so intense it's been the subject of a Jimmy Kimmel Live! sketch around the time of "Deflategate." (Whether coincidentally or not, many of those stars were PEOPLE'S Sexiest Man Alive at one point.)

And we're talking celebrities for whom they've been asked to raise Seattle's famous 12th Man flag to show proof of their passion.

Which means we're also talking about celebrities whom at least half of will be very bummed out Monday morning. But in the meantime, read on to see who you can expect to spot in the stands Sunday night.

01 of 15

Seahawks: Chris Pratt

Seahawks/Instagram

Chris Pratt smiled on the sidelines at the NFC Championship game — and will be cheering directly from the field Sunday night, as he was chosen to be the celebrity to introduce his hometown team.

02 of 15

Patriots: Jon Bon Jovi

Jon Bon Jovi will be doing the celebrity introduction of the New England Patriots this year, and his fandom goes way back to the late '80s — even earning him two championship rings of his own, thanks to his longtime friendship with the team's owner Robert Kraft and the coaching dynasty that includes Bill Belichick.

03 of 15

Seahawks: Will Ferrell

Gregg DeGuire/WireImage

He may be known for comedy, but Will Ferrell's love for the Seahawks is no joke. Although sometimes he combines the two, as he did when he crashed the Seahawks' virtual team meeting during COVID (as "Greg Olsen") to announce that he would be joining the team.

04 of 15

Patriots: Ben Affleck

BG004/Bauer-Griffin/GC Images

Ben Affleck, raised in Cambridge, praised Pats QB Drake Maye in a January podcast.

"I mean, it's like a miracle, how do you get another really good quarterback?" Affleck on Katie Nolan's Casuals podcast. "I thought I'd be dead before New England had another great football team."

05 of 15

Seahawks: Dave Matthews

Seahawks

Dave Matthews, who is local to the Seattle area, is such a big fan he's been tapped to raise the team's "12th Man" flag on the top of the Space Needle.

06 of 15

Patriots: Mark Wahlberg

Focus on Sport/Getty

Boston native Mark Wahlberg predicted good things this season: "We're going to the playoffs. I believe in Vrabel. They're starting to look good," Wahlberg told Stephen A. Smith in September. "We're going back. We're going back to the promised land, adding more championships, adding more trophies. The Krafts gotta build another trophy room. It's happening."

07 of 15

Seahawks: Chrissy Teigen

Christian Petersen/Getty

Model Chrissy Teigen (with husband John Legend) grew up outside of Seattle and is a devoted fan. "I am definitely the 12th Man," Teigen has said. "I even had my prom at CenturyLink Field!"

08 of 15

Patriots: John Krasinski

Jimmy Kimmel Live/YouTube

John Krasinski (one of four Sexiest Man Alive winners to hail from Boston, along with Affleck, Damon and Evans) is a die-hard Boston sports fan, Patriots included. "It's fun to be from a place that has so much tradition and legendary sort of sports stories to tell my daughter one day very soon," he has said.

09 of 15

Seahawks: Joel McHale

Instagram

How committed is Joel McHale to touting his Seahawks fandom? He's been wearing a jersey under his blazer on every talk show appearance he's made this week. In a recent interview with his hometown paper, McHale answered the question "How are you?" with "You know, other than my elevated heart rate at all times due to Seattle sports-related events, I'm pretty good."

10 of 15

Patriots: Maria Menounos

Francis Specker/Alamy

Maria Menounos often posts about her hometown team on Instagram, and can frequently be spotted at Gillette Stadium to cheer them on. When they lost to the New York Giants in 2012, though, she also lost a bet, and had to wear a Giants bikini in Times Square.

11 of 15

Seahawks: Jeffrey Dean Morgan

Instagram

Even the NFL declared actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan a "die-hard" fan online. Ahead of this season, he went on Good Morning Football to deliver a "state of the union," raving about the draft and predicting good things ahead.

12 of 15

Patriots: Al Roker

DylanDreyerNBC/X

The Today anchor (with colleague Dylan Dreyer) once hosted a Pats rally in Boston.

13 of 15

Seahawks; Rainn Wilson

Rainn Wilson is also a dedicated Seahawks fan, filming content with the team (including a fun TikTok in which he met an Office fan at Lumen Field).

"It kind of feels like a religious experience, this community of people bonding and connecting over the team," he has said.

14 of 15

Patriots: Cardi B

Lauren Leigh Bacho/AP

Okay, Cardi B came by her fandom by default: She's dating the Patriots' Stefon Diggs and they just welcomed a child together.

So how does it feel to be one of the most famous WAGs on earth? "I'm feeling very excited, very happy for him very proud of him," the musician has said. "Me seeing the progress and the process of him, from the first time he started running back, and now joining the Patriots and actually going to the Super Bowl, I'm very excited for him. Very excited for the whole team, they been working they butts out."

15 of 15

Seahawks: Sir Mix a Lot

Kevin Terrell/AP

The Seattle rapper performed at the team's 50th-anniversary party in October. In 2014, ahead of the last Seahawks Super Bowl appearance, he said he had to stop watching the games so he wouldn't jinx the team — but something tells us he'll make an exception for this one.

Cast of 'Flash Forward'

Walt Disney Television/courtesy Everett

Flash Forward was a family-friendly Disney Channel sitcom that followed two best friends navigating the everyday ups and downs of middle school life.

The show starred a young Ben Foster alongside Jewel Staite, whose characters brought humor and heart to stories about friendship, school and growing up.

With its relatable themes and early breakout performances, Flash Forward became a memorable part of '90s kids' television. Now, let's take a look at where the cast is today and how their careers have evolved since the show ended after just one season.

Ben Foster as Tucker James

Ben Foster starred as Tucker "Tuck" James, a sarcastic but big-hearted eighth grader trying to survive middle school with his friends by his side.

After the show ended, Foster continued acting, appearing in films like 2007's 3:10 to Yuma, 2009's The Messenger, 2016's Hell or High Water, 2018's Leave No Trace and 2025's Christy. He has also starred in TV series such as Six Feet Under and The Survivor,

The 45-year-old shares two children with actress Laura Prepon, whom he married in 2018. They were together for six years before their separation in 2024. He relocated to Nashville after living in Los Angeles for 12 years.

Jewel Staite played Rebecca "Becca" Fisher, Tucker's longtime best friend, whose awkward confidence and loyalty made her instantly relatable.

She went on to build a strong career in television, most famously starring as Kaylee Frye in the cult-favorite series Firefly. She also appeared in Space Cases and Stargate Atlantis. She currently plays Abigail Bianchi in the drama series Family Law.
