The Best Commercials from the Big Game

The Best Commercials from the Big Game

This year’s advertisers are paying a record high average price of $5 million. At a rate of approximately $167,000 per second, this year's advertisers are paying the ultimate premium to get their message out there. The commercials this year were all over the board, from political statements of unity and equality, to confusing car commercials that had nothing to do with cars, to movie trailers for another sequel to that series that never seems to end, to references to 50 Shade of Grey. This made it hard to compare apples and oranges, so we have broken our favorites down by category.

What we missed this year:

• Budweiser hitting us right in the feels
• Car commercials that are actually about cars
• Trailers for movies that aren't the 19th sequel of a series
• Mtn Dew ... well .... you remember
• Doritos making us feel a little uncomfortable (but also hungry)
