For those of you who may not have watched the Super Bowl on Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs beat the San Francisco 49ers 31 to 20.
But, as usual, the world’s biggest brands recruited their best celebrity connections and creative consultants to show their talent during the commercial breaks.
Some of the ads were inspiring; others were downright bizarre—but we’ll let you be the judge of that.
Here are 13 of the most impressive Super Bowl ads from the big game.
13) A young football star named Maxwell “Bunchie” Young—who has become renowned for his speed in the league—is shown running a ball all the way to the Hard Rock Stadium while football stars young and old cheer him on. After Bunchie can be seen dashing across the country with the help of his athletic peers, the commercial cuts to the live coverage of the game with Bunchie running across the stadium field in delight.
12) Hyundai premiered the Remote Smart Park feature of the new 2020 Sonata with the help of Massachusetts natives Chris Evans, John Krasinksi, and Rachel Dratch. In addition to flexing their Boston accents, they were also joined by Red Sox legend David Ortiz.
11) Brian Cranston helped Mountain Dew prove that movie remakes can be just as good as the original in this The Shining-inspired advert for the soda brand’s new Mountain Dew with zero sugar.
10) Budweiser paid homage to “typical” Americans and their stereotypical—but inspiring—American ways.
9) Cheetos unveiled their new popcorn product with a little help from M.C. Hammer warning onlookers that they “Can’t Touch This” while sporting cheese dust-covered fingers.
8) Microsoft celebrated the new 49ers coach Katie Sowers as the first woman to ever coach at the Super Bowl.
7) Jason Momoa shocked viewers in this Rocket Mortgage commercial by shedding his rippling muscles and flowing hair so he could “truly relax” in the comfort of his own home—and while it may have been unnerving to see Aquaman casually shed his physique, it certainly caught the viewer’s attention.
6) Facebook spotlighted their various social media groups with clips from all of the platform’s most niche categories of interest—all while being showcased to Twisted Sister’s “I Wanna Rock”.
5) Hip hop artist Post Malone is notorious for only drinking Bud Light—so when it came time for the beer brand to release their new fruity seltzer flavor, they recruited the tattooed musician for this quick advert about his amusing internal struggle between the new and original flavors.
4) For fans of the hit Adult Swim show Rick and Morty, the iconic characters found themselves trapped in a Pringles commercial in which they are swarmed by robots pushing the different chip flavors. While its premise is particularly ironic for the commercial, we admire its creativity.
3) The CEO of WeatherTech used this year’s Super Bowl commercial to talk about his dog’s cancer journey and ask viewers to donate to the veterinarians who saved the pup’s life.
2) Reese’s used this cheeky little advert to talk about their new Take Five candy bar—“the best bar you’ve never heard of”—in the office workplace of some commonly used idioms.
1) In what is perhaps our favorite Super Bowl ad, Bill Murray pays homage to his hit movie role in Groundhog Day by hijacking the new Jeep Gladiator so he can have some fun days out with his marmot buddy—because “no day is ever the same in a Jeep Gladiator”.
