The pre-game present has already featured a slew of well-known faces, from Taylor Swift (clearly) to Adam Sandler to Kevin Costner and past. Brad Pitt popped as much as narrate a pre-recorded recreation intro huddle or one thing. Jon Hamm popped out in a Chiefs jersey to introduce that staff (with a slew of boos indicating how the on-site fandoms stability out), whereas Bradley Cooper got here in to introduce the E-A-G-L-E-S!
As a South Louisiana native, I’m all about watching Trombone Shorty and Lauren Daigle carry out “America the Stunning” and no matter else they wish to convey their abilities to. In an ideal world, Trombone Shorty could be taking part in the entire transitional music contained in the stadium, in addition to taking part in backing music for Kendrick Lamar afterward.
SKECHERS + MARTHA STEWART: Martha Stewart hocking Skechers is humorous, however the clearly fabricated sight of her gliding on air and dancing in such an unnatural approach is downright horrifying.
I nonetheless love Skechers, and have admittedly been carrying their slip-on footwear for ages. But it surely fortunately by no means brought on me to go all electrical boogaloo whereas attempting to stroll down the road.
GRADE: C+
However others actually appeared to love it.
To date the Martha Stewart Sketchers industrial has us laughing so exhausting we’re crying. #SuperBowlFebruary 9, 2025
LILO & STITCH TEASER: Seeing Sew trigger havoc on the NFL area is a cute option to promote Disney’s upcoming live-action Lilo & Sew, all the way down to him crashing the cart right into a goalpost. Plus, he’s already sort of streaking, amirite? Love that they included “No canines or aliens have been harmed within the making of this video,” too.
GRADE: B- (because it didn’t truly present us something from the film)
Tom Cruise formally launched the sport within the calmest approach doable, with out leaping off of the moon or consuming a rushing practice or no matter it’s he put his physique on the road for in Mission: Unimaginable – The Last Reckoning, which aired a 30-second teaser forward of the actor showing.
DUNKIN’S DUNKINGS 2025: Ben Affleck and Casey Affleck teased the arrival of a brand new DunKings advert, and whereas the industrial perhaps wasn’t as massive or ridiculous as one may need hoped, it actually delivered on star energy. A brief checklist: Kevin Smith, Jason Mewes, Invoice Belichick and girlfriend Jordan Hudson, Druski, Jeremy Robust, and extra.
It’s a bit too scattershot to really feel too significant, and approach too few seconds have been spent centered on Jay and Silent Bob. However I can admire Starbucks slamming, no matter my very own private espresso selection.
GRADE: B

LITTLE CAESARS CRAZY PUFFS: Nothing about watching a person’s bushy eyebrows flying round and touchdown on issues needs to be appetizing within the slightest, and I do not essentially wish to depart my sofa to instantly nab some Loopy Puffs. But it surely’s a enjoyable advert, and will get further factors for bringing in famed daughter Sarah Levy.
GRADE: A-
PFEIZER: Whereas I normally stick with mentioning the funniest Tremendous Bowl adverts, with the extra severe spots coming throughout as schmaltzy or pandering, I am unable to consider I felt a number of feelings from Pfeizer’s newest advert, set to the tune of LL Cool J’s “Mama Mentioned Knock You Out.” The younger boy waltzing round in boxing gloves and trunks was already an intriguing visible to see, however then to be taught that he was knocking out most cancers? It acquired me, dammit.
GRADE: B
DORITOS: Created as a part of Doritos’ fanmade Tremendous Bowl advert contest, this “Abduction” promo nails it on all fronts, from proving the topic’s love of the mission to showcasing slapstick humor and convincing particular results. No marquee celebs or large areas wanted.
GRADE: A-
MICHELOB ULTRA: I like the absurdity of Hollywood fan-favorites Willem Dafoe and Catherine O’Hara being a pair of tennis sharks who destroy everybody they meet on the court docket, whether or not they’re regular strangers or professional athletes. All with the purpose of accomplishing their opponents’ beer. They’d be a viral phenomenon.
GRADE: A
RITZ: I do not know if I would take into account Michael Shannon and Aubrey Plaza to be among the many “saltiest” celebrities in Hollywood, however I like them leaning into these personas, particularly when it is countered by Unhealthy Bunny’s typically gleeful angle. I like when happiness will get promoted. I additionally like Ritz.
GRADE: B-
MOUNTAIN DEW: I can’t consider we made all of it the way in which to 2025 earlier than somebody paid Seal sufficient cash to voice a sea creature model of himself for a Tremendous Bowl advert. And but right here we’re, and the outcomes are each nightmarish and obsession-worthy. Nothing will creep me out in the present day greater than faux Seal-seal’s frustration with attempting to carry a bottle in its flippers.
GRADE: A-
Watch On
INSTACART: I’m a sucker for commercials that convey collectively every kind of mascots from one type of media or one other, together with industrial icons. So I’m all-in on this blatantly capitalist Instacart advert with Chester Cheetah, the Pillsbury doughboy, the Jolly Inexperienced Large, Pet Monkey Child, the Energizer Bunny and a number of other others. -0.5 factors for not having any cereal monsters.
GRADE: A-

COORS LIGHT: With all due credit score to Zootopia for making the slowness of animated sloths a wildly humorous visible, this Coors Mild spot packs all of that hilarity into a fast Tremendous Bowl advert. From a grocery clerk watching gadgets pace over-the-counter to the slowest spin class doable to the slow-speed chase, I liked all of it, and would watch one other few dozen eventualities.
GRADE: A+
Watch On
GOOGLE PIXEL: One other advert that wore its emotional underpinnings proper there on its sleeve, Google Pixel delivered a strong heartstrings-tugger that admittedly is not as efficient within the 30-second type because the prolonged model, which actually performs up a bunch of stay-at-home dad moments that play into the theme. I am a sucker for cute infants and daddy-daughter relationships.
GRADE: B
LIQUID DEATH: Like Dorito’s advert, generally probably the most profitable spots are those with the best concepts behind them. Liquid Demise’s massive cans already appear like 16-oz. beers, and this advert leans into that comparability with a hilarious “Drinkin’ on the Job” jingle. Docs, college bus drivers, and extra.
GRADE: A+
Watch On
HEXCLAD: Gordon Ramsay promoting his pots and pans isn’t inherently humorous, however what if he’s doing it in a universe the place Pete Davidson is a recognized alien? It’s barely funnier.
GRADE: B-
DURACELL: I’ve mentioned plenty of good-naturedly impolite and heinous issues about Tom Brady through the years as an avid NFL fan, however I do admire the way in which he’s been capable of lean into self-reflective humor in recent times. And it’s been dealt with no higher than this Duracell advert, the place he stops transferring mid-game as a result of his batteries died. As a result of he’s part-robot! Which makes #deflategate price revisiting, proper? No? Tremendous, advantageous. Good on him to reference the headline-making Roast, too.
GRADE: A

COFFEE MATE COLD FOAM: The whole lot about this industrial made my abdomen really feel a number of levels extra upset than it needs to be, from the disembodied tongue flying round and taking part in musical devices to the very thought of taking a full canister of Espresso Mate to the dome. The again of my mouth is welling up with icky-icky simply typing that out, however not less than the advert had some sort of impact.
GRADE: B+
RAM TRUCKS: Glen Powell lent his fairy tale-altering abilities to this Ram Vehicles advert, by which he performs a rugged Goldilocks who will get invested in numerous adventurous truck-centric moments within the prolonged model, from going through a dragon (and placing it in a large smoker) to chiseling a statue to leaping a volcano. Driving three completely different sorts of vehicles. I kinda wish to see extra adverts with simply Powell’s Goldilocks and that Child Bear.
GRADE: A+
Watch On
HELLMANN’S: Let or not it’s misplaced on nobody that the Glen Powell advert was instantly adopted by the Tremendous Bowl industrial with a cameo from his Anybody However You co-star and fellow headline-maker Sydney Sweeney. However the advert wasn’t about her, actually, however was a purpose for Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan to reunite for When Harry Met Sally‘s most iconic and quotable scene. All that mentioned, it did not fairly justify its personal existence.
GRADE: C+
PRINGLES: With Pringles and Little Caesars’ Tremendous Bowl adverts, we might formally have the Dante’s Peak / Volcano of 2025, in that each of them contain not less than one movie star’s facial hair flying off of their face with intentions in thoughts. In Pringles, it is a bunch of noteworthy mustaches flying off the faces of Nick Offerman, Andy Reid, James Harden and extra, all to the tune of the ’60s Batman TV theme. Solely with “mustache’ mentioned as a substitute of “Batman,” naturally.

NFL FLAG FOOTBALL: This prolonged advert performs up highschool stereotypes to make its central level that feminine athletes participating in flag soccer mustn’t solely exist, however needs to be the norm across the nation. Might have been inherently funnier, however I just like the message. Not a lot “The Brad” although. Professional Tip: Marshawn Lynch needs to be within the bleachers for all future Tremendous Bowl commercials.
GRADE: B
Watch On
TUBI: Following up on final 12 months’s intelligent telecast-interrupting advert, Tubi went a distinct route with its Tremendous Bowl spot this time round, taking part in up the idea of followers’ heads representing their style of selection, no matter what they may attempt to do to cover that pure feeling. It is the strangest option to symbolize such a optimistic fandom message, and I am extremely disturbed by seeing any sort of hat form coated in human pores and skin, however it’s a win general.
GRADE: B+
Is it simply me, or has this third quarter been particularly gentle by means of attention-grabbing and wonderful commercials? Seeing all these actual potatoes in a Lay’s industrial is cool, however nonetheless.
HÄAGAEN DAZS: Vin Diesel and Michelle Rodriguez using round in a automobile along with a sweeter purpose in thoughts than something that’s ever taken place in a Quick and Livid film? I’ll take it. Particularly if I can have a type of ice cream bars as effectively. I’ll journey shotgun with Ludacris, it’s advantageous.
GRADE: B
Watch On
BUD LIGHT: Like most corporations with adverts airing on Sport Day, Bud Mild produced a collection of no-frills mini-ads that tied into its extra attention-grabbing spot, with comic Shane Gillis and Grammy winner Submit Malone serving to hype up a cul-de-sac block get together by distributing Bud Lights through leaf blowers, as in the event that they have been T-shirt cannons. Far more harmful, clearly, however do you KNOW how lengthy it takes to get drunk simply on T-shirts? Wait, I forgot what my level was.
GRADE: B (for Bud Mild)
JEEP: The award for “Most Sentimental Tremendous Bowl Advert” might certainly go to Jeep for its prolonged have a look at Harrison Ford speaking about what freedom means. Would 1923‘s Jacob Dutton have been a Jeep man? Positive, why not?
GRADE: C
STELLA ARTOIS: Hours after Ben Affleck’s DunKings took the display, Matt Damon arrived as David Beckham’s shock twin brother, Different David, who was left within the U.S. sooner or later. Not that it impeded his means to kick a soccer, an American soccer, into the subsequent county. Gotta love the dig at Affleck, additionally:
- Different David: So how well-known are you? Like Matt Damon-famous?
- David Beckham: Perhaps…Ben Affleck-famous.
- Different David: That’s a disgrace.
Regardless of presenting the baffling concept that David Beckham does not know what Buffalo wings are, I nonetheless favored this another than most.
GRADE: A-
Watch On
UBER EATS: The prolonged 90-second model of Matthew McConaughey’s multi-role look again at a century of NFL soccer is one other main Tremendous Bowl advert spotlight whose shorter type aired earlier within the telecast. It is nearly shocking that Kevin Bacon and Greta Gerwig appeared as themselves within the advert. A minimum of I feel they did. But when they have been additionally simply Matthew McConaughey in disguise, then I applaud the make-up artists who made it occur. What if he is been taking part in each of them in actual life as effectively?
GRADE: A

BOSCH: One other idea that sounds each insane and utterly pure: Antonio Banderas and somebody impersonating Randy “Macho Man” Savage dancing and yelling out home equipment, punctuated by an elbow drop via a desk. Two weirds do make a proper generally.
GRADE: B+
TOTINO’S PIZZA ROLLS: Tim Robinson and Sam Richardson would possibly as effectively simply develop into their Detroiters characters, with each the 30-second advert and the alternate, full-length promo under for Totino’s Pizza Rolls serving as proofs of idea. Not solely is that this my favourite of all of the Tremendous Bowl LIX adverts, however they each go into the pool of Greatest Tremendous Bowl Advertisements ever. If I didn’t know who both of them have been, I may need a distinct feeling, however I fucking love these dudes. Justice for Chazmo the Anonymous!

GODADDY: For all that the third quarter was a snore, the top of the sport is pulling out some nice adverts. GoDaddy landed Walton Goggins for its advert, which may have been him speaking about watching paint dry because it occurred, and I nonetheless would have given it a base-level grade of C. However as a substitute, this advert is a complete banger, with the Fallout star taking part in up how effectively he can faux experience all through a collection of various genres. Two spotlight quotes which are made all the higher when spoken with the actor’s signature drawl:
GRADE: A
- “Houston, I’m observing some particles coming from Uranus.”
- “As a result of in case your goggles ain’t Goggins, they don’t belong in your noggins.”

Unsurprisingly for anybody who was paying consideration between the advert breaks, the Philadelphia Eagles did certainly thwart the Chiefs’ makes an attempt to safe a 3rd consecutive Tremendous Bowl victory, and now the post-game present has formally began, which I suppose wraps up this live-blog. However let’s first give a fast shout to some extra adverts that weren’t precisely decrease than C-tier, however nonetheless did not fairly make the lower for one purpose or one other.
- NerdWallet: It was enjoyable to listen to Succession vet Kieran Culkin voicing a sorta-snarky whale on this advert, however there weren’t any signature quips or really memorable whale-y visuals to cling to.
- Squarespace: Barry Keoghan in old-timey gear delivering laptops with occupation-specific Squarespace websites as a substitute of newspapers is a enjoyable gag, however the advert nonetheless feels plodding for no matter purpose. I totally purchased Keoghan within the position, although.
- Reserving.com: I am unable to consider every other state of affairs the place The Muppets would fall in need of expectations — effectively, okay, that is a distinct dialog — however I assumed a Tremendous Bowl industrial could be a great place for them to thrive. And for the minimal seconds of Reserving.com’s advert the place they appeared, I used to be all-in. However they weren’t even the complete focus of the spot, so in lieu of an extended advert being launched, they’re on the backside of the bowl.
Thanks to everybody who adopted together with this 12 months’s batch of questionable, complicated, and hyper-expensive adverts. I hope you all had as a lot enjoyable as Eagles followers did in the course of the recreation itself. And I would additionally wish to thank Tim Robinson and Sam Richardson for clearing the bar for Greatest Tremendous Bowl Advert Of 2025. The trophy is within the mail.
