A Complete Round-Up of All the Super Bowl Commercial Chaos So Far
The Super Bowl commercials have been underwhelming the past few years . . . partially because a lot of them hit the Internet ahead of time. That, or the ad campaigns are "previewed" online, so we basically know what's coming.
Still, there's plenty of buzz for Super Bowl ads . . . so let's spoil them again with a FULL RUNDOWN of everything we know so far:
1. Remember Isaiah Mustafa, the ripped Old Spice guy on a horse? Well, he's returning in a new Super Bowl ad 10 years after the original . . . and this time he's an "embarrassing dad" to his son, who's played by"Straight Outta Compton"star Keith Powers. Two spots have hit the Internet . . . and in both, Mustafa is only wearing a towel around his waist.
2. There's also an ad for Sabra Hummus, starring former"Real Housewives of New Jersey"enemiesTeresa GiudiceandCaroline Manzo. (Here's ateaser.)
3. Lil Nas Xis doing a Western-themed ad for Doritos . . . and his"Old Town Road"collaborator Billy Ray Cyrus is also onboard. (Here's apreview.)Sam Elliottis also a part of the campaign. (Here'sthat.)
4. Planters is apparently killing off Mr. Peanut. Their campaign has Mr. Peanut sacrificing himself to save the lives of Wesley Snipesand some guy from"Veep". (Here'svideo.)

13. Budweiser is playing it SAFE this year . . . and no, it's not another sappy ad about cute barnyard animals. Although, they might do that too. It's a patriotic, feel-good commercial about "Typical Americans."
