Super Bowl: Best & Worst Commercials
One needn’t know the difference between a touchdown and a turnover to find enjoyment in the Super Bowl. For many viewers (and we suspect many a TVLine reader), it’s all about the ads.
Each year, advertisers pony up big bucks to wave their wares in front of upwards of 100 million lookie-loos… even though most commercials are released online, ahead of the Big Game. So, who drafted famous faces to shill? Who played it for laughs? And who went for waterworks?
