2021 Super Bowl: 12 Best Commercials
VoiceNotes Another surprise get came with T-Mobile’s Super Bowl ad, a hilariously shady meet-cute tale that ostensibly told the story of how the seemingly diametrically opposed musical celebs Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton ended up together. It involved Adam Levine, a poor cell connection, some clever writing, and a whole lotta secrecy to keep it under wraps until its Sunday debut. Some Good Buds Post Malone, Cedric the Entertainer, the Bud Knight, the guy who tearily says “I Love You, Man” and other Bud commercial fan faves teamed up for Bud Light Legends commercial. With Budweiser’s advertising focus shifted to Bud Light, we have truly entered a PostMapocalyptic World. I Just Opened My Mouth and Out It Okurrrrrr It’s a testament to the brilliant simplicity o...

The Weeknd Performs 2021 Super Bowl Halftime Show: Watch
The Weeknd got his money’s worth with a lavish Super Bowl Halftime performance. Due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, this year’s NFL championship had an eerily small audience compared to the usual overflowing stadium. But that didn’t stop The Weeknd from pleasing the crowds, both those in the stands and people watching at home, with a decked-out concert featuring fireworks, a massive choir, and doppelgängers galore. The seven-song set kicked off with “Starboy” and “The Hills” before segueing into to material from The Weeknd’s massive After Hours, one of the best albums of 2020. In particular, the Toronto coroner delivered thrilling performances of “Can’t Feel My Face”, “Save Your Tears”, and “Blinding Lights”, which appropriately served as the closer. The setlist was rounded out by “I ...

Drake Stars in New State Farm Super Bowl Commercial With Paul Rudd & Patrick Mahomes: Watch
When you thought Jake from State Farm was a one-person show, he has a starry stand-in: Drake. In a new Super Bowl commercial, NFL superstars Aaron Rodgers and Patrick Mahomes and actors Paul Rudd and Adrian Martinez trade jabs about being each other’s on-air replacements. After Mahomes and Rodgers scoff at their lousy fill-ins — Rudd and Martinez, respectively — Jake quips about Drizzy serving as his second-stringer. Decked out in a red State Farm polo, Drake comically tries to mimic Jake’s famous jingle while at the snack table. Unfortunately for him, he struggles mightily and then allows the State Farm honcho to takeover. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

‘Hot Damn’ Is the Super Bowl Show Tune Dan Levy & Cecily Strong Can’t Believe You Haven’t Heard
“They play it every Super Bowl,” Strong insisted. “You all know it.” The pair then broke out in a duet — “Hot damn, I want score the winning goal/ You will, you’ll put it through the football hole” — that got some puzzled looks, until most of the people in the bar joined in on the Super Bowl show tune. The group even turned the football ditty it into a tap number behind the bar. Kenan Thompson, who Googled “Hot Damn” and could only find a very-unrelated song by Clipse, still wasn’t convinced this Super Bowl song was really a thing. But eventually, even he got “in the zone,” top hat and baton in hand. Watch the “Hot Damn” sketch below. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates...
Gwen Stefani & Blake Shelton Accidentally Get Together in Hilarious T-Mobile Super Bowl Ad
Unfortunately (or fortunately for Shelton and Stefani, who have been together since 2015 and got engaged in October of last year), Levine uses a spotty cellular network in the commercial, so what Adam hears Stefani say is very different. “I’m sick of L.A. guys, I want someone completely … country,” Levine hears her say, as his service cuts in and out. “Uncultured … and threatened by a strong confident woman.” Shelton quickly walks into frame, singing about his love of wings and nachos; “I have your guy,” Levine says. Once the two finally meet up for a dinner date they’re naturally confused — “I mean, no,” Stefani says of Shelton’s appearance, before pointing out that he wore spurs to a nice restaurant. “Did...

Bruce Springsteen Appears in First-Ever Commercial for Jeep’s Super Bowl Ad: Watch
Bruce Springsteen isn’t normally one for a corporate sponsorship deal, as he’s long resisted requests to appear in commercials throughout his career. But hey, it’s 2021, and anything freakin’ goes, so the Boss signed on to take part in Jeep’s new Super Bowl ad, which premiered online ahead of the Big Game. Apparently, Olivier François, the global chief marketing officer at Jeep parent company Stellantis, has been after the Boss for a decade. “Olivier François and I have been discussing ideas for the last 10 years,” said Springsteen’s manager Jon Landau in a statement (via Rolling Stone), “and when he showed us the outline for ‘The Middle,’ our immediate reaction was, ‘Let’s do it.’” Even so, Bruce himself didn’t agree to appear in the ad until just last month, meaning production had ...
Winona Ryder Is Back With Edward Scissorhands’ Son in New Super Bowl Ad: Watch
Like Edward, Edgar has trouble functioning in the normal world. When trying to yank on chain on a bus to get off at the next stop, he accidentally cuts the cord with his sharp fingers, getting himself banned from public transportation; while trying to catch a football, he punctures and deflates it; and rather than creating elaborately shaped bushes, he cuts up spectacular salads. To cheer him up, Kim buys the teen a Cadillac LYRIQ, which has a hands-free super cruise feature that allows him to drive without destroying the steering wheel. (No word about a seat belt that his hands won’t slice through, though.) “And Edgar drove off into the sunset,” Kim says as the ad ends. “But don’t worry: He still makes it home in time for dinner — occasionally.” A...
Toronto Declares ‘The Weeknd Day’ to Honor Singer’s Super Bowl Performance
Other Canadians who have performed at the Super Bowl include actor Dan Aykroyd, who reprised his famous Blues Brothers character in 1997, and country singer Shania Twain, who rocked the big game in 2003. Ahead of Sunday’s matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, The Weeknd revealed that he plans to buck recent tradition and go it alone during his 2021 Pepsi Super Bowl LV halftime performance. “I’ve been reading a lot of rumors,” the singer told the NFL Network while discussing whether he’ll have any special guests on stage. “There wasn’t any room to fit it in the narrative and the story I was telling in the performance. So, there’s no special guests, no.” In a recent Billboard cover story, The Weekend’...
