For many, the thing people look forward to during the Super Bowl are the commercials. That’s right, many people that are enjoying the NFC vs. AFC Championship game are much more interested in the Bud Light Knight falling off a cliff than they are seeing Tom Brady getting a chance to win his seventh championship ring. Because advertisers know this fact, they tend to offer up some interesting and unique commercials.

What gets most people talking are the comedic commercials. Who doesn’t want to share a funny moment between pals at the virtual water cooler the next morning? And a very funny commercial will get people talking about your brand for days or even weeks.

Over the course of the Big Game, there were quite a few commercials that were standouts and had us laughing during the evening. Check out a few of them below.

M&M

Everybody screws up now and again, and in the latest M&M commercial, people are apologizing for their mess ups with a bag of M&Ms.

Doritos

Matthew McConaughey is two dimensional, and the best way to bring yourself into the third dimension is to eat some Doritos that are also in the third dimension. Technically, all Doritos are three dimensional, but whatever.

Tide

In one of the best commercials from the Super Bowl, someone has made Jason Alexander (best known for his role of George on Seinfeld) into a hoodie.

Uber Eats

Remember Wayne’s World? Well, Wayne and Garth appear in this Uber Eats commercial with Cardi B. They all want you to eat local using the food delivery service.

Reddit

Reddit has been in the news quite a bit recently, primarily because of WallStreetBets and the GameStop stock. The website ran a five second ad, which you have to pause to read. Luckily, it’s on YouTube, so you can pause with ease.

Amazon Alexa

Michael B. Jordan stars in the commercial titled “Alexa’s body,” where Alexa gets a body, and it just happens to be Michael B. Jordan’s. A woman has her way with the new Alexa, like finding ways for Jordan to get shirtless or wet, and her husband gets pretty jealous.

Cheetos

Who ate the Cheetos? Shaggy might know. This was a weird and awkward one where Mila Kunis was eating all the Cheetos and Ashton Kutcher demanded she admit to it.

Every year during the Super Bowl, we’re treated to plenty of trailers for new movies and upcoming TV shows. This year, we thought the Big Game would be a bit light on these videos, considering most of the movies that were supposed to come out in 2020 were delayed because of COVID. Nevertheless, there were still plenty of spots for upcoming TV shows and films that we hadn’t seen yet.

From Disney+ showing off its first full trailer for The Falcon and the Winter Soldier–which looks awesome–to a sneak peek at M. Night Shyamalan’s next movie, Old, there’s plenty to be excited about in the upcoming year.

And this doesn’t just apply to trailers for recently announced movies, while F9: The Fast Saga has been delayed for a year, we still got a new trailer for the upcoming film with some new footage. And because the past year didn’t have a ton of big movie releases, we’ll take what we can get.

Below, you’ll find a wrap-up of all the movie and TV show trailers that played during the Super Bowl. We’ll be updating it throughout the evening, so keep checking back for more.

F9

Is it Fast & Furious 9, Fast 9, F9, Fnine? Honestly, it doesn’t matter. The titles for the Fast Saga movies are often kind of ridiculous. We’re just glad the movie is coming soon, after being delayed from May 2020 to May 2021–unless it gets delayed again, which could happen.

Nobody

Bob Odenkirk plays a suburban dad who goes on a John Wick-esque rampage, in the latest trailer for Nobody. John Wick’s David Leitch is producing the upcoming action-comedy, so it is sure to be a blast.

Raya and the Last Dragon

Following in the footsteps of Mulan, Raya and the Last Dragon will not be headed to theaters. Instead, it will arrive to Disney+’s Premier Access on March 5. It’s about a young girl named Raya who teams up with a dragon to take on an ancient evil force.

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

Do you like the MCU? Do you have Disney+? Well, you’re probably pretty pumped for The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. While a 30-second spot aired during the Super Bowl, Marvel released a full 2-minute trailer for the upcoming March TV series.

Old

A family just wanted to go on a nice vacation, but they ended up at a beach that’s making them all age rapidly. M. Night Shyamalan directs the upcoming movie, which will be hitting theaters this summer.

Coming 2 America

Last week, the first trailer for Coming 2 America arrived. During the Super Bowl, we got another look at the upcoming Amazon Prime movie, which lands on the service on March 5.

We all worry about aging, but the characters in M. Night Shyamalan’s latest film will have to worry about it a lot sooner than they expected. Universal Pictures showed off the first trailer for Shyamalan’s film, titled Old, during Super Bowl LV.

Based on the novel Sandcastle by Pierre Oscar Levy and Frederik Peeters, Old traps us and the movie’s protagonists on an idyllic, secluded beach with white sand, verdant plants, and rocky cliffs. As the children visiting the beach begin to quickly grow into full-on teenagers, the beachgoers find that they can’t escape, can’t call out, and are themselves getting older, too.

Old stars Eliza Scanlen, Thomasin McKenzie, Aaron Pierce, Vicky Krieps, Alex Wolff, Abbey Lee, Nikki Amuka-Bird, Gael García Bernal, and Ken Leung. M. Night Shyamalan is directing and producing the film, as well as adapting the original story for the screen.

Shyamalan’s Apple TV show Servant, is in the middle of Season 2, and has been renewed for Season 3. His latest movie previous to Old was Glass, the third in his superhero trilogy that began with Unbreakable and Split. Old is set to debut sometime this summer (Probably).

During last year’s Super Bowl, a new Fast and the Furious trailer debuted, as the movie was originally going to release in May 2020. However, because of the global pandemic, the film was delayed. Things have moved fast since then, and we’re all a bit less furious, because a new trailer was released before the start of the Super Bowl. Prepare for joy.

While it’s only a 30-second spot, the quick video is a reminder that Justice for Han is right around the corner, and F9 will more than likely feature more snacking than fans have been accustomed to over the years. Check out the family-themed trailer below.

“The world has a way of changing,” explains Vin Diesel’s Dominic Toretto, and boy that statement couldn’t hit home any harder. “But there’s one thing that always stays the same. You miss the old life, every day.” Is Toretto talking about high-octane heists or being trapped in quarantine the past year?

All of your favorites are back for the next installment–minus Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham, who have been spun off into their own franchise.. But that’s ok because director Justin Lin has added another WWE wrestler-turned actor to his F9 arsenal in John Cena. And the best part about Cena’s role is that he’s playing Dominic’s long-lost brother–because of course he is. He also drives oh so angry in the new trailer.

Additionally, Sung Kang comes back as Han–a beloved character that died in the third Fast & Furious movie, Tokyo Drift, even though it actually takes place after the sixth movie in the series. Also returning is Michelle Rodriguez as Letty, Helen Mirren as Magdalene Shaw, Tyrese Gibson as Roman Pearce, Ludacris as Tej Parker, and many more. Also, Jordana Brewster returns to the series after sitting out F8 as Mia.

While the movie has been pushed back a couple of times to May 28, 2021, the trailer simply states the movie is “Coming soon,” so it’s unknown at this time whether or not it will hit the May release date. Probably not though, as there are a lot of people left to vaccinate before it’s safe to go back to the theaters.
