Sarah Shahzad — Fri, 01 Feb 2013 17:10:24 +0000

Jack in the Box thinks the best way to get people to buy their sandwich is to call it a “Hot Mess.” Is this the most questionable marketing decision of the 2013 Super Bowl? The ad features Jack in the Box’s pretty creepy mascot in an ’80s hair band, singing about said sandwich (we think). [...]

Allstate’s 2013 Super Bowl commercial with the familiar and hilarious “Mayhem” character, which will air during Super Bowl 47, may be one of the greatest Super Bowl commercials ever.

Hyundai’s Super Bowl ad features a family on a fun-filled excursion made even funner by owning a Hyundai and having The Flaming Lips accompany them with a theme song.

Although Beyoncé is the big-name performer at this year’s Super Bowl, the Flaming Lips will be part of the action, too, thanks to the band’s appearance in a commercial for Hyundai.

The Oklahoma City rockers wrote a classic-sounding new song, ‘Sun Blows Up Today,’ for the spot, which includes footage of the band performing in unusual places, and their confetti-spewing tour bus.

“It was a really painless experience,” Lips multi-instrumentalist Steven Drozd tells Diffuser.fm.

Sarah Shahzad — Wed, 30 Jan 2013 20:43:28 +0000

Taco Bell was forced to retract its anti-vegetable commercial for promoting its 12-pack of tacos.

Emerald Catron — Tue, 29 Jan 2013 21:53:24 +0000

This Toyota commercial has got all the necessary ingredients for a big hit at the Super Bowl. There's Kaley Cuoco from 'The Big Bang Theory,' music by Skee-Lo and a guy in a rabbit suit. We're betting there's no shortage of men who don't mind imagining Cuoco as a wish-granting genie. You know, because she could like make enormous trays of nachos appear whenever. Not for any perverted reasons. It's the Super Bowl. Let's keep it clean, fellas.

Kia Introduces Space Babies and 'Babylandia' in Their Super Bowl 2013 Commercial

Emerald Catron — Tue, 29 Jan 2013 21:14:36 +0000

We wish our parents had been as imaginative as this guy when we were growing up. When we asked where babies come from, we were usually answered with a suspicious look, or, if we were really lucky, an admonishment to eat all of our dinner. Babylandia, though, seems like a great lie to tell your [...]

Jeremy Taylor — Mon, 28 Jan 2013 23:55:09 +0000

Volkswagen’s 2013 Super Bowl Commercial takes place in a nondescript office building. Despite the location, the island nation of Jamaica manages to be the star of the spot. In it, we see a bunch of morning-weary workers in an elevator. “I hate Mondays,” one of them says, and the most of the elevator’s other occupants seem to concur. But one [...]

Jeremy Taylor — Mon, 28 Jan 2013 22:53:54 +0000

For AXE’s 2013 Super Bowl commercial, the body spray company strays a bit from its typical formula of good-looking women who are inexplicably in hot pursuit of average men. Granted the spot does feature a bikini-clad babe. In this case, she is swimming in the ocean when the ominous dorsal fin of a shark approaches. [...]
