Super Bowl Commercials
Watch these brand new ads that aired during the 2012 Super Bowl.
1. Bueller...Bueller...?
It’s official. Ferris Bueller has made a comeback. Or at least he has for the purposes of a new Honda CR-V commercial to air at the Super Bowl. After a 10-second preview of the commercial was released last week, the Internet exploded with anticipation over the possible return of our beloved teen prankster. The company has now released the full two-minute version and with everything from skipping out of work to overtaking a parade float, it’s a fitting homage to the classic 80s movie (even if it is in the form of a car commercial).
2. Shatner's Fiery End?
William Shatner’s spokesperson duties for Priceline are about to come to a fiery end. He is shown being killed off in a bus crash in this Super Bowl ad preview and word is his replacement will be named during the full-length commercial. But we don’t think we should count out this Canadian icon just yet…
3. Pimp My Sled
Mush! Mush! has been replaced by Vroom Vroom in this ad for the 2012 Suzuki Kizashi. In the commercial we see an Inuit man groovin’ along with his dogs in his new sports sedan, but his high-rolling lifestyle is short-lived when his wife asks him what happened to the real “sled.”
4. Happy Grad
What could be better than a dorm-sized fridge for a graduation gift? A new car! This hilarious commercial for Chevy Camaro was created by 26-year-old aspiring filmmaker Zach Borst, who received $25,000 for this “Happy Grad” ad. If this is any indication of what he can do, we think he’s got a long career ahead of him.
5. Becks Gets Buff
Super Bowl isn’t just for the guys anymore. In a new ad for H&M, we see a very buff David Beckham wearing nothing but a pair of underwear from his new line called “Bodywear.”
6. The Daylight Saga
It’s a good thing Edward Cullen was nowhere to be found. In a Super Bowl ad released by Audi, we see a vampire driving up to a bush party in a new S7 (with a fresh supply of blood no less) only to find the “daylight” headlights have turned all his friends to ashes.
7. In a Perfect World...
The Toyota Camry has been re-invented. Turns out the car company thinks some other things should be re-invented as well: babies who don’t poop, rain that makes you skinny and a blender that plays Lionel Richie. Perhaps the new version of the Camry also plays “All Night Long” whenever you turn the radio on. We can only hope.
8. Your Cheating Heart
Have you ever tried to be inconspicuous about buying something embarrassing only to have the item need a price check and be announced to the whole store? Maybe that only happens in the movies but that’s exactly what happens to this Coca-Cola Zero employee when he tries to buy a Pepsi Max.
9. How Far Would You Go?
How far would Jerry Seinfeld go to get the first Acura NSX? Find out in this hilarious Super Bowl commercial that sees cameos from a classic 'Seinfeld' character and a car-loving late night talk show host.
10. Coke Polar Bowl
Coca Cola’s famous polar bears are the next to get into the Super Bowl action. The big white bears will play a little game of their own, trying to catch a bottle of Coke, rather than a football. Word is the spots will change according to how the game is going.
11. Sonic Goes Skydiving
Skydiving, bungee jumping, shooting a music video … if you need some more adventure in your life, you need a Chevy Sonic. Well at least that’s what this Super Bowl commercial indicates. We’re not sure we’d want to drive our new car off a cliff (bungee cord or not) but we think it’s pretty cool that all the stunts in the commercial are real.
12. Sexy Stamos Steals the Yogurt
No one comes between a woman and her yogurt. Not even a very sexy looking John Stamos (seriously has this guy aged at all?!). In this commercial for Dannon Oikos Greek Yogurt, the woman does everything she can to stop Stamos from taking a bite. While her method is successful, we can think of one other way to keep his lips occupied.
13. Dogs and Darth Vader (what else?)
How inspiring is the 2012 Volkswagen Beetle? So inspiring that the dog in this ad gets up off the couch and does everything he can to get in shape and run alongside it. There’s also an appearance by Darth Vader, because let’s face it, what is a Super Bowl commercial without him?
14. Rec League Hockey (with confetti cannons!)
The looks on the rec league hockey players’ faces as their rinky-dink hockey game turns pro with skating mascots, an arena full of fans and confetti cannons is priceless. Shot, edited and broadcasted during the Super Bowl, it’s sure to induce a few tears of pride. (And only in Canada would there be a hockey game ad during the Super Bowl!)
15. Old Lady Ingenuity
Betty White would be impressed with this inventive old lady who slingshots a baby in order to get a bag of Doritos. It’s vindication for every taunting older brother (and the fist-pump by the baby at the end is priceless).
16. An M&M Strip Tease
Who needs touchdown dances when you’ve got naked M&Ms busting a move to LMFAO’s “Sexy and I Know It?” Wait, is my milk chocolate showing?!?
17. Man's Best Doritos Supplier
How far would a man go to enjoy a bag of Doritos? In this new Super Bowl ad we see a man who discovers his dog has buried the cat in the backyard but if he keeps quiet, the dog will give him a bag of the tasty treats. Our only question is, where is the dog getting his supply of Doritos?
18. Pepsi
This … is Melanie Amaro. The inaugural “X Factor” winner is the star of this much-hyped Pepsi commercial that aired during the Super Bowl. Featuring Elton John as a medieval king who only gives Pepsi to people who know how to sing, the commercial gives Amaro a chance to show off her $5 million voice.
