See All The Weird & Hilarious Ads Hollywood Life

February 2024 · 8 minute read

Some people tune into the Super Bowl for the hard-hitting action. Some watch the Halftime show. Others enjoy the commercials. The Super Bowl has become the advert Coachella, with big names partnering with bigger brands for hilarious 30-second spots that always seem to overshadow the game itself. In 2023, Super Bowl LVII (Feb. 12) promises to have some of the most star-studded, outrageous, and memorable commercials in years.

The cost of a Super Bowl LVII commercial hasn’t been revealed, but Variety reported that Fox had sold several ads “north of $7 million.” Variety also reports that “clients who are buying multiple spots or who have a deep relationship with the network might have discussed deals that called for ads to be priced between $6 million and $7 million.” NBC’s broadcast of Super Bowl LVI in 2022 generated around $434.5 million, so it’s possible that this year will top that.

With all that said, here’s a running list of some of the celebrity Super Bowl commercials.

Avocados From Mexico (Anna Faris)

What if, along with a talking snake with an apple, the Garden of Eden had a talking groundhog with an avocado? Anna Faris finds out in Avocados From Mexico’s commercial.

BIC EZ REACH (Willie Nelson, Snoop Dogg, Martha Stewart)

Willie Nelson gets caught red-handed with Snoop Dogg‘s BIC EZ Reach Lighter (and Martha Stewart‘s “herb-scented” candle) in this pre-Super Bowl ad.

Booking.com (Melissa McCartney)

Melissa McCarthy books herself a vacation — and hopefully, also books herself a gig on Broadway — in Booking.com’s musical commercial for Super Bowl LVII. Click here for more info, including the extended spot.

Budweiser (Metro Boomin, Kevin Bacon)

Kevin Bacon narrates a Budweiser commercial that takes that “Six Degrees of Separation” concept and turns it into a “Six Pack of Separation,” proving that hard workers like Metro Boomin are not that far removed from others out there grinding for a better tomorrow. This Bud’s for them.

Bud Light (Miles Teller, Keleigh Sperry)

When Miles Teller‘s wife, Keleigh Sperry, gets caught in hold-music purgatory, he — along with some Bud Light — offers an enjoyable distraction in the beer’s Super Bowl LVII commercial.

Bush Light (Sarah McLachlan)

Warning: have tissues nearby. Sarah McLachlan, the divine voice behind the “Angel” song that has accompanied commercials about helping animals in need, makes a surprise appearance in Bush Light’s Super Bowl Commercial. 

Crown Royal (Dave Grohl)

“Blame Canada?” Dave Grohl wants you to “Thank Canada” in Crown Royal’s commercial for Super Bowl LVII. In addition to making Crown Royal, Canada has given the world peanut butter, basketball, electric wheelchairs, Devin Townsend, and more comedy legend than you can shake a glass of Crown Royal whisky at.

Dexcom (Nick Jonas)

Nick Jonas shows that you don’t need magic to manage your diabetes. The Jonas Brothers singer shows how easy it is with the Dexcom G7 in the new Super Bowl Commercial. 

Doritos (Jack Harlow, Missy Elliott, Elton John)

Remember how flutes were all the rage when it came to hip-hop? Jack Harlow tries to get ahead of the curve (or, in this case, angle) in Doritos’ Super Bowl Commercial featuring Missy Elliott and a surprise Elton John cameo.

DoorDash (Chefs!)

Raekwon the Chef, Tiny Chef, and Matty Matheson (an actual chef and producer of The Bear) appear in DoorDash’s commercial advertising how you can get groceries now through the service.

Downy (Danny McBride)

Downy had a celebrity hide their appearance behind a hoodie in the weeks leading up to the Super Bowl. The celeb said they would smell the fabric to make sure that Downy Unstopables kept clothes fresh for 12 weeks. After the time was up, the celeb — Danny McBride — was convinced and, in Downy’s Super Bowl Commercial, adopted the name “Downy McBride.”

Dunkin

Ben Affleck got to live out his coffee-colored dreams in Dunkin’s commercial for Super Bowl LVII. His wife, Jennifer Lopez, makes a cameo and practically wins the night.

GM x Netflix (Will Ferrell)

Corporate synergy was never so hilarious as in the joint GM and Netflix Super Bowl commercial.

Google Pixel 7 (Amy Schumer, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Doja Cat)

Google Pixel has already established its edge in the phone market with its Real Tone technology. Still, as seen in the Google Pixel 7 Super Bowl Commercial, its new Unblur and Magic Eraser features might make even the ardent iPhone supporter switch. Amy Schumer, Doja Cat, and Giannis Antetokounmpo help demonstrate the phone’s features, from saving selfies to removing noxious ex-boyfriends.

Hellmann’s (Jon Hamm, Brie Larson, Pete Davidson)

In what will CERTAINLY become a meme, Pete Davidson says he will eat Jon Hamm and Brie Larson. Actually, with the help of Hellmann’s mayo, Pete turns leftover ham and brie into a tasty panini. The Super Bowl Commercial is part of Hellmann’s campaign to reduce food waste in America, showing how mayo can help turn leftovers into lunch.

M&Ms

M&M’S handed the reigns over to Maya Rudolph following the Tucker Carlson-sized drama over the M&M’s “spokecandies” not being sexy enough. Maya renamed the candies Ma&Ya’s, put her face on the snacks, and decided that the world needed “Candy Coated Clam Bites.” Shortly afterward, the “spokescandies” were back, and M&M’s were back to being what we all know and love.

McDonald’s (Cardi B & Offset)

Jeffrey Ross and a panel of comedians roast Mr. Peanut in the Planters’ Super Bowl commercial. Mr. Peanut even gets in a good shot at the end.

Pringles (Meghan Trainor)

Meghan Trainor has been doing  TikTok dances for two — so she needs some snacks. After appearing in a preview for Pringles’ Super Bowl commercial (where she gets stuck in the can, which is relatable), Megan announced she’s not going to drink during this Super Bowl because she’s expecting her second child with her husband, Daryl Sabara. The full ad dropped, showing that getting stuck happens to the best of us.

Popcorners (Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul, Raymond Cruz)
