Super Bowl LVIII wasn’t just about the big game—it was also a stage for some of the most memorable and downright hilarious commercials of the year. From the unexpected return of iconic duos to bizarre new pairings, brands pulled out all the stops to keep viewers entertained during those coveted commercial breaks. Whether it was absurd humor, nostalgic throwbacks, or absurd celebrity moments, these ads gave us plenty to talk about long after the final whistle blew. Here’s a look at some of the most unforgettable spots from the night.
The Best Commercials from the Super Bowl
Matthew McConaughey for Uber Eats
McConaughey kicked off the night with a hilarious conspiracy theory about football being designed to make us hungry. In this absurd Uber Eats ad, he spun a wild story about how timeouts and long drives are all about making us crave snacks. Things got even stranger when Greta Gerwig, Kevin Bacon, Martha Stewart, and Charli XCX joined him to discuss this outlandish theory. The result was a star-studded, humorous fever dream centered around the beloved ritual of game day munchies.
Bill Murray for Yahoo
In one of the most bizarre moments of the night, Bill Murray starred in a Yahoo commercial where he confessed to seeing a dog’s reflection every time he looked in the mirror. Murray, with his signature deadpan delivery, asked viewers to email him for help with his strange predicament. It was quirky, funny, and left us wondering how many people reached out to that Yahoo account after the ad aired.
Harrison Ford for Jeep
In an unexpected turn, Harrison Ford starred in a Jeep commercial, which was made all the more hilarious by the irony of his last name being “Ford.” With his usual gruff charm, Ford humorously declared, “This Jeep makes me happy, even though my name is Ford.” The ad played off the brand name and his iconic persona, leaving us both confused and entertained as he drove off into the sunset from his ranch.
Catherine O’Hara and Willem Dafoe for Michelob Ultra
Catherine O’Hara and Willem Dafoe teamed up for Michelob Ultra, showing off their skills on the pickleball court. They took on a team of professional athletes, including Sabrina Ionescu, Randy Moss, and Ryan Crouser, in a hilarious match. O’Hara’s Moira Rose-esque sass combined with Dafoe’s intensity made for a fun and unexpected duo. The two eventually claimed their prize—a cooler of Michelob ULTRA—proving that age is just a number when it comes to pickleball.
Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodrigues, and Ludacris for Häagen-Dazs
In a complete break from their high-speed action movie roles, Vin Diesel and Michelle Rodriguez traded their fast cars for ice cream in this hilarious Häagen-Dazs ad. The two were cruising along a coastal highway, enjoying ice cream in a serene, slow-paced scene, which completely surprised fans expecting something more intense. Ludacris’s disbelief at their new “slow life” was priceless, adding humor to this sweet and unexpected take on the iconic action stars.
Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal for Hellman’s
Romantic comedy fans were treated to a nostalgia-filled moment as Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal recreated their famous deli scene from “When Harry Met Sally”. But this time, Ryan’s sandwich wasn’t just any sandwich—it was a Hellman’s mayo-enhanced creation that had her visibly enjoying it, which led Crystal to say his updated line, “I’ll have what she’s having—with extra mayo.” This heartwarming nod to one of the most iconic movie moments had us craving both a rewatch of the film and a great sandwich.
Aubrey Plaza, Michael Shannon, and Bad Bunny for Ritz
Aubrey Plaza and Michael Shannon brought their deadpan humor to a quirky Ritz cracker ad. The two tried to outdo each other with increasingly ridiculous demonstrations of how salty they could be, only for Bad Bunny to arrive and steal the spotlight, breaking the tension with his own unique flair. The ad combined dry humor and unexpected celebrity pairings to create a strange yet brilliant spot that left viewers hungry for Ritz crackers.
David Beckham and Matt Damon for Stella Artois
In a fun twist, David Beckham found out he had a long-lost American twin brother, played by Matt Damon, in a Stella Artois ad. The two navigated awkward family dinners and soccer struggles before discovering that they could bond over a cold Stella Artois beer. This clever ad played on the idea of cultural differences and the uniting power of a good brew, delivering plenty of laughs along the way.
Drew Barrymore and Orlando Bloom for MSC Cruises
Drew Barrymore and Orlando Bloom took viewers on a hilarious tour of cultural misunderstandings in their ad for MSC Cruises. The two went back and forth trying to explain American and European customs to one another, from ordering “French” fries in Italy to explaining fanny packs to confused Europeans. The ad culminated in a food face-off where Barrymore championed chicken wings while Bloom defended gelato, leaving us craving a vacation and a taste of both.
Seal and Becky G For Mountain Dew
Mountain Dew’s ad featured Seal transformed into an actual seal—yes, a seal with a smooth voice. Seal belted out a remixed version of his hit “Kiss from a Rose,” surrounded by the ocean, with pop star Becky G joining him as a mermaid for a beautiful but humorous duet. The absurdity of seeing a singing seal had us laughing, and the catchy tune stayed in our heads long after the commercial ended.
Ben Affleck, Casey Affleck, Jeremy Strong, and Kevin Smith for Dunkin’
Dunkin’ brought a Boston-heavy lineup of stars together for a “battle of the coffee brand bands.” Ben and Casey Affleck teamed up with “Succession’s” Jeremy Strong and the iconic duo of Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith (reprising their roles as Jay and Silent Bob) for a comedic musical face-off. Dunkin’ took it further by releasing a seven-minute extended version on YouTube, keeping fans engaged and giving us even more laughs beyond the commercial.
Eugene and Sarah Levy for Little Caesars
Eugene Levy and his daughter Sarah starred in a hysterical Little Caesars ad, where Eugene’s powerful enjoyment of mini pizzas caused his expressive eyebrows to literally fly off his face and cause chaos around town. From interrupting romantic dinners to creating havoc at a construction site, the ad showcased Eugene’s comedic timing, with the legendary eyebrows adding an extra layer of absurdity to the scene.
Chris Pratt, Chris Hemsworth, and Kris Jenner for Ray-Ban/Meta
Chris Pratt and Chris Hemsworth, armed with Meta’s AI glasses, found themselves in Kris Jenner’s house, appraising her art collection in a tech-driven commercial that quickly went awry. After Hemsworth accidentally ate a piece of art—a banana duct-taped to the wall—the ad humorously explored the fallout, with Jenner threatening legal action. The commercial poked fun at the intersection of high-tech gadgets and Hollywood excess, all while delivering laughs.
Super Bowl 2025’s commercials brought together Hollywood A-listers, humor, unexpected pairings, and absurd moments that made the game’s breaks just as entertaining as the action on the field. These ads not only made us laugh, but they also reminded us of the power of creativity, nostalgia, and, of course, clever marketing.
