These are 10 of the best Super Bowl commercials of all time, and they will eff with your feelings

Even if you’re not the biggest football fan, the Super Bowl has something to offer everyone. Some tune in strictly for the game. Others come for the half-time show. And then there are those who live for the Super Bowl commercials. Many Super Bowl commercials are so great that they go down in advertising history. We’ve collected these fan favorites so you can rewatch and get amped for this year’s Super Bowl commercial repertoire.

According to Sports Illustrated, companies had to cough up $5 million dollars to NBC for 30 seconds of airtime during this year’s Super Bowl.

Knowing how much money is riding on a successful Super Bowl commercial, it’s no wonder why they stick with us. Advertisers give these ads their all because most of America is watching. We laugh, we cry, and we may even feel empowered after watching these. They’re more like short films than anything else.

So let’s head back in time and remember some of the Super Bowl greats. And no, we’re not talking about you, Tom Brady. Grab yourself a snack and perhaps some tissues (those Budweiser commercials really get to us), and walk with us down Super Bowl commercial memory lane.
