One of the best things about the Super Bowl is its elaborate commercials.
We love Super Bowl commercials almost as much as the game itself. Brands invest millions of dollars in making the most extravagant ads that millions around the world will see. It’s become its own art form over the years and some people tune into the Super Bowl just for the ads! Here are some of our favorite Super Bowl commercials from this year’s big game.
1. This celebration of 100 years of NFL excellence and 100 years to come.
