Andy Richter as a Caesar salad in the making.
Avocados from Mexico
Sure, the Super Bowl is all fine and dandy. But viewers who don’t know a touchdown from a tight end will still tune in just to watch the commercials. From the legendary 1984 ad for Apple Macintosh computers to the many Budweiser Clydesdales spots, some of the most famous commercials of all time have aired during the big game.
As the new ads roll out before Feb. 13 for Super Bowl LVI, we’ll share them here. Some companies just drop teasers hinting at the full ad to come, so you still need to watch the entire spectacle on Super Bowl Sunday to get the whole experience. If we’re spotting a trend so far, it’s that companies are stuffing their ads with celebrities — maybe thinking famous faces will sell more product than witty, entertaining ads.
