This article highlight 11 hilarious commercials and teasers viewers can look forward to before the big kickoff.
This year, over 40 brands will be showcasing some of their best work during the Super Bowl 50 commercials. While some companies let their fans do the hard work for them, others hired several directors to produce their ads. Viewers can expect to laugh and maybe even cry, as they watch how each brand followed through on their unique approaches.
Check out 11 of the funniest Super Bowl 50 commercials below, before they make it to a TV screen near you on Sunday:
Doritos
Doritos held its highly popular Crash the Super Bowl contest for the 10th and final year. The contest allows fans to create their own commercial for the company in a chance to win $1 million, have their ad air on Super Bowl Sunday, and an opportunity to work with Man of Steel director Zack Snyder. These are the finalists:
"Swipe for Doritos" by David Rudy
"Doritos Dogs" by Jacob Chase
"Ultrasound" by Peter Carstairs
Bud Light
Comedians Amy Schumer and Seth Rogen are political running mates for #BudLightParty in this ad. The commercial is a way to spread unity in America, citing that although the country has its differences, Americans can typically agree on "justice, liberty, and the sheer joy of a great beer."
Skittles
This is the second year the popular candy brand teamed up with the Super Bowl and this time they're returning with rockstar, Steven Tyler of Aerosmith. Although he's not seen eating any Skittles, Tyler does something even better. He gets into a sing-off with a self-portrait made entirely out of rainbow colored skittles.
Snickers
Playing off of their wildly popular "you're not you when you're hungry" theme for their commercials, late iconic model and actress, Mariyln Monroe, and actor William Dafoe become the same person in Snicker's most recent ad.
Mountain Dew
In a way to showcase their new energy drink, Kickstart and the ingredients that went into making it, Mountain Dew will introduce PuppyMonkeyBaby to viewers. The ad is meant to show fans that great results come from crazy combinations, like "dew, juice, and caffeine" and puppies, monkeys, and babies.
Avocados From Mexico
The 30-second commercial will air right after kickoff during the first commercial break. The ad shows futuristic aliens admiring things that captivated human minds on Earth, like the Rubik's cube and the infamous blue/black/white/gold dress.
Intuit
Over 15,000 small businesses entered the "Small Business Big Game" contest in a chance for their business to be seen during the Super Bowl. Death Wish Coffee, "the strongest coffee in the world," was deemed the official winner. The commercial features rough vikings, who's mission is unexpectedly cut short.
Shock Top
Enlisting Silicon Valley star T.J. Miller, the ad features the comedian exchanging insults with the wheat beer's smooth-talking orange logo. Who do you think will get the last word in?
Hyundai
Enlisting four directors to produce four Super Bowl ads, Hyundai released three of the four commercials featuring the South Korean 2017 Elantra and 2016 Genesis models. Viewers can prepare for a mini-thriller, a Utopian world starring actor Ryan Reynolds, and a comedic first date experience with comedian Kevin Hart. The ads will also highlight key features in their new vehicles like "talk start," an automatic breaking system, and "car finder."
"The Chase"
"Ryanville"
"First Date"
Apartments.com
What happens when history and present day collide? The company brought together actor Jeff Goldblum, rapper Lil Wayne, and a faux George Washington for the most random BBQ ever.
T-Mobile
Drake's "Hotline Bling" took the entertainment industry by storm. Many celebrities got in on the fun, by recreating his music video and funny dance moves, and now T-Mobile is looking to change the lyrics of the song. The commercial pokes fun at other phone carriers for their annoying restrictions and rules.
T-Mobile will also air a second ad, but that will be a surprise until the big day. The company decided to release a teaser of all the elements that will not be involved in their secret ad.
"Restricted Bling"
