The best and weirdest Super Bowl LI commercials
Updated 10:22 pm, Friday, February 3, 2017
There are a lot of questions that won't be answered until Super Bowl Sunday.
Will Tom Brady become the first quarterback in NFL history to win five Super Bowls? Can presumptive 49ers' head coach Kyle Shanahan light up the scoreboard against the league's top scoring defense? Will Lady Gaga take on President Trump during the halftime show?
One question we might already have the answer to is whether or not the commercials will be worth watching. Several companies have already released their Super Bowl LI commercials. Pennsylvania-based 84 Lumber's first Super Bowl ad also happens to be a political one, see the first half of it above.
Many other companies released ads that strike a lighter tone. Check them out below:
T-Mobile: Something about Justin Bieber throwing a ball to Rob Gronkowski, who is cast as a caveman, just feels right.
Buick: We wonder if Cam Newton thinks the refs didn't do enough to protect him against this army of children.
Audi: Audi made a strong political statement by getting behind the equal pay for equal work movement with its #DriveProgress campaign.
Wendy's: The Wendy's ad is most likely nod towards a Twitter exchange the company had with another user over frozen beef in January.
Bud Light: The beer company pays homage to its original 1987 Spuds MacKenzie commercial.
Avocados from Mexico: This commercial jabs the Patriots over Deflategate, and potentially even Antonio Brown over his Facebook Live incident.
Kia: Melissa McCarthy tries to become an "eco-warrior," but Mother Nature has other plans for her.
Skittles: A young man uses Skittles to get the attention of a young woman, and then it gets weird.
Tide: Gronk is back, and he's helping redesign Jeffrey Tambor's wardrobe.
Febreze: Febreze honors the "halftime bathroom break," but it gets kind of gross.
Mercedes: Peter Fonda helps promote the AMG GT.
GoDaddy: GoDaddy has put out some pretty cringe-worthy Super Bowl commercials in the past, and this one is also quite strange.
Lexus: Lexus promotes a bright red LC 500.
Honda: Tina Fey, Steve Carrell, Magic Johnson and others make their old yearbooks come to life.
Mr. Clean: Apparently the animated Mr. Clean has seductive dance moves.
KFC: Rob Riggle and Billy Zane help promote KFC's new "Georgia Gold" fried chicken.
Squarespace: John Malkovich tries to get the rights to JohnMalkovich.com
TurboTax: TurboTax has a new theory as to why Humpty Dumpty fell off that wall.
Nintendo: Nintendo promotes the Nintendo Switch, the company's new console set for a March release.
LIFEWTR: This is the water company's first Super Bowl commercial.
Busch: The beer company's first Super Bowl commercial is a little strange.
Sprint: Why fake a death when you can switch to Sprint?
Intel: Tom Brady's everyday life becomes more "epic" with the help of Intel.
