As most of you know I’m a huge fan of the New England Patriots, even though I have grit my teeth whenever Patriots owner Bob Kraft sings the praises of “Individual 1” as he did on Fox & Friends Friday morning. Many of you also know that just as entertaining (sometimes more so) are the commercials that play during the big game. So, in honor of some of the creative advertising geniuses behind them, I’d like to share my top ten favorites.

So there you have it. If any of you want to share your favorites, please do! As for what’s in store for us this year, several great commercials have already shown up online, but so far these are my top three.

I always loved the Budweiser commercials and the “Wheres The Beef?” commercials always made me laugh. Very cool post!

Thank you! “Where’s the beef?” became such a long-lasting catchphrase and I always look forward to seeing what Budweiser is going to come up with.

I can only imagine how much companies pay to be featured on the Superbowl TV coverage. Small wonder they pull out all the stops to have such memorable adverts. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.

I can’t watch the Budweiser ones as they make me cry and I am NOT ruining my mascara today. Loved the mini Darth Vadar and Ice & Fire, but my fave is the Cat herders 🤣🤣

I know how you feel Fraggle. I love the lost puppy one, but that 9/11 tribute makes me tear up.

Great choices. Thanks for sharing the previews too. I’m not much of a football fan per say. My husband plays some football pools so I mostly am concerned with whatever score will win us money, especially since the Cowboys are not in it. The commercials make it more fun.

The commercials are always fun but I can’t help but think how much they must have paid Harrison Ford to appear 🙂

I always feel a bit guilty at enjoying the commercials so much because I can’t help thinking at the same time about the billions of dollars that are spent, that could be put to much better use.

I’ve always liked the Budweiser commercials. The kid Darth Vader one was cute, too. And the cat herders is classic. I’d also like to recommend the Doritos dog commericals:

Budweiser can always be counted on for a great commercial. So far, the Darth Vader one is my all time favorite though. That kid just melted my heart! Thanks for the YouTube links. I’ll definitely check them out.

This year’s commercials were so disappointing!! It’s like they just shoved big names into dumb commercials and called it a day… I did like the car commercial with… Jason Bateman? (I think it was him in this one…) dropping people off in an elevator at different floors…. That was pretty much the only one, I think!

I liked the Jason Bateman one, and the Oil of Olay one with Sarah Michelle Gellar totally cracked me up. The first time I saw the Alexa commercial with Harrison Ford I liked it, but the second time, not so much.🤷🏻♀️
