The Best Commercials of The Big Game

This year’s big game was jam packed with some seriously GREAT commercials. Including one VERY New England(y) Dunkin’ ad. This year a 30 second ad cost a cool 7 million. Many of yesterday’s ads were sadly released ahead of time, so there wasn’t much surprise.  But they’re still fun to watch.

Here’s a few of my favorites:

1.  Ben Affleck wants to show Jennifer Lopez what he can do in music and recruits Matt Damon and Tom Brady for a boy band called the DunKings.

2.  Beyoncé did an ad for Verizon where she tries different ways to break the Internet.

3. The E*Trade babies are back this year . . . playing pickleball.

4.  Chris Pratt books the role of a lifetime as Mr. P, the Pringles guy.

5.  Like a good neighbaaa, Arnold Schwarzenegger is there.

6. There might not be a “T” in Skechers, but Mr. T is always in them.

7.  Everyone and their mom is auditioning to be T-Mobile’s Magenta Status spokesperson, including Bradley Cooper and his mom.  Also, Laura Dern, Jennifer Hudson, and Common.

8.  Zach Braff and Donald Faison get Jason Momoa to get T-Mobile Home Internet with a “Flashdance” number.  Jennifer Beals makes a cameo at the end.

9.  Jennifer Aniston says in order to remember something like Uber Eats, you have to forget something else.  She even forgets working with David Schwimmer on “Friends”.  The ad also stars Jelly Roll and David and Victoria Beckham.

10.  Michael Cera wants everyone to think he made Cera Ve skincare. This one killed me.

11.  Kate McKinnon’s talking cat becomes famous for saying “mayo”, getting everyone to buy Hellmann’s.

12.  The Bud Light genie grants wishes that include partying with Post Malone, being besties with Payton Manning, and a T-Rex.
