Throughout the history of the Super Bowl, advertisements have become popular with viewers. The once bothersome interruptions that would get in the way of the big game would eventually change the way professional sports aired. Not only taking away the inconvenience of sports ads but to actually allowing the ads to become a cultural phenomenon alongside the Super Bowl game itself. In some viewers’ cases, the interest in Super Bowl commercials can surpass the interest in the big game, especially if they are not a fan of either team playing. For 2023’s Super Bowl LVII, Fox set the cost of a 30-second ad at $7 million. Usually, the Super Bowl can have anywhere between 80 and 100 commercials set to air during the big game. With the amount of money companies are willing to spend to secure Super Bowl airtime, it is no secret that a lot of work goes into these commercials. These ads usually involve famous faces, elaborate plots, fireworks, and anything else you can think of in order to make them attention-grabbing and memorable. Here are some of the most unforgettable commercials from Super Bowl LVII.
