Avengers: Endgame: Super Bowl Trailer Breakdown

The Bud Light Knight Gets Murdered In Game Of Thrones Super Bowl Ad

If you’re watching the 2019 Super Bowl, you probably saw plenty of Bud Light commercials over the course of the evening–many of which were about corn syrup. However, during one spot in the second quarter, the Bud Knight met his demise at the hands of The Mountain.

It was turning out to be another silly Bud Light ad, where the King and Queen were enjoying a couple of beers and about to watch the Bud Knight triumph during a joust. At least, that’s what they thought would happen.

Sadly, the Bud Knight was knocked off his horse during this exhibition, and the new champion was none other than Gregor Clegane, also known as The Mountain from HBO’s Game of Thrones. Clegane walked up to the fallen knight, and used his thumbs to gouge out his eyes. We’re all presuming the Bud Knight is now dead.

It didn’t end there. A dragon flew overhead and burned everything to the ground. Is “dilly dilly” no more? This was easily one of the oddest commercials during the final NFL game of the season.

While this was a sad moment, we were all reminded that Game of Thrones is returning for its final season this April. The first trailer for the new season aired back in January in a cryptic teaser, which didn’t contain any actual footage. However, it did hint at the fates of members of the Stark family.

Game of Thrones returns to HBO for its final season on April 14 at 9 PM ET / PT. And you can watch the Super Bowl live while the game is still going on.

The Twilight Zone Super Bowl Commercial Asks You To Question Reality

Super Bowl LIII was replete with trailers, and although movies are often the biggest draw–see: Captain Marvel and Avengers: Endgame–a few TV shows also caught viewers’ attention. One of these is the upcoming Twilight Zone reboot from Get Out director Jordan Peele. The trailer pulled a bit of a bait and switch on us by interrupting what looked like the official Super Bowl broadcast, before cutting to an empty stadium.

This was all setup to introduce Jordan Peele, who is not only producing the new Twilight Zone series, but is also narrating it. The stadium seems to exist in two different dimensions, with lights flicking on and off, sodas vanishing, and signs also disappearing in mid-air. Peele eventually asks the viewer to question the truth, and also what dimension they’re in.

The Twilight Zone is scheduled to premiere on April 1. The TV series will debut on CBS All Access, and be exclusive for subscribers. The first two episodes will be available for subscribers on Monday, April 1, with new ones releasing on a weekly basis from Thursday, April 11.

Along with Peele, The Twilight Zone’s cast includes Ike Barinholtz, John Cho, Lucinda Dryzek, Taissa Farmiga, Greg Kinnear, Luke Kirby, Sanaa Lathan, Kumail Nanjiani, Adam Scott, Rhea Seehorn, Alison Tolman, Jacob Tremblay, Jefferson White, Jonathan Whitesell, Jessica Williams, DeWanda Wise and Steven Yeun.

Super Bowl 2019: New Trailer For Jordan Peele’s Us Takes Freaky To A New Level

The first trailer for Us, the new movie from Get Out director Jordan Peele, was an internet sensation. It mixed an unsettling concept with terrifying visual imagery and backed it with an unnerving take on a hip hop classic. Now, a second trailer has been released on Reddit, and while not as artful, it is just as chilling. The first trailer revealed Us would be about a family being hunted by a disturbed versions of themselves. This new trailer teases some of the strange goings on that happen before it all kicks off.

Adelaide Wilson, who is played by Lupita Nyong’o, can be heard talking about how frequently coincidences have been occurring since the family arrived at their beach house. Before long we’re given a quick showcase of the chaos that ensues, as the family are tormented by their darker reflections and forced to deal with the realization that they are up against themselves.

Alongside Nyong’o as Adelaide Wilson, Us also stars Winston Duke (Black Panther) as Gabe Wilson. Elisabeth Moss (The Handmaid’s Tale) and Tim Heidecker join them as members of the Tyler family, with Yahya Abdul-Mateen II from Aquaman and Anna Diop from the DC Universe streaming series Titans, also appearing.

2019 is set to be a big year for Peele. In addition to Us, his take on a new Twilight Zone series will debut on CBS All Access on April 1. Peele will host and narrator of the show, and his production company, Monkeypaw, is set to produce the series. Other cast members for the The Twilight Zone include Ike Barinholtz, John Cho, Lucinda Dryzek, Taissa Farmiga, Greg Kinnear, Luke Kirby, Sanaa Lathan, Kumail Nanjiani, Adam Scott, Rhea Seehorn, Alison Tolman, Jacob Tremblay, Jefferson White, Jonathan Whitesell, Jessica Williams, DeWanda Wise and Steven Yeun.

Us comes to theaters on March 19, 2019.
