<p>The Super Bowl: The one time when the fast forward button on the DVR remote doesn&#8217;t get a workout. Reports say <a href="https://www.i4u.com/2016/12/118621/super-bowl-2017-advertisers">Fox is charging $5 million</a> for a 30-second TV commercial for Super Bowl LI. But when the advertisements receive almost as much attention as the game, you know companies are receiving a good value for their marketing dollars.</p>
<p>If you attend the kind of Super Bowl party where everyone ranks the commercials and votes on their favorites, you may want a head start on judging the entrants. After all, 30 seconds isn&#8217;t enough time to properly catch all of the nuances of a cleverly designed Super Bowl ad. Continue reading to learn more about the Super Bowl LI commercials and watch some of them early!.</p>
<h2>Who are the Super Bowl Advertisers?</h2>
<p>Ad Age has <a href="https://adage.com/article/special-report-super-bowl/super-bowl-li-complete-ad-chart/306339/">put together a list of companies</a> reported to have purchased Super Bowl spots, including some well-known brands: Audi, Bud Light, Budweiser, Buick, Febreze, GoDaddy, Honda, Intel, Lexus, Mercedes-Benz, Michelob Ultra, and Snickers, which, in an interesting twist, has announced it will air its commercial live.</p>
<p>Some notable brands absent from this list that have been Super Bowl advertisers in the past include: Amazon, Butterfinger, Doritos, Fitbit, and Toyota. Understand, though, that some companies don&#8217;t announce that they&#8217;re advertising on the Super Bowl ahead of time. So Ad Age&#8217;s list will change as the game approaches.</p>
<h2>Watch the Super Bowl Ads Early</h2>
<p>One option to watch Super Bowl TV commercials early is the Web site <a href="https://www.superbowlcommercials.co/latest-updates/all-the-2017-super-bowl-li-commercials/">Super Bowl Commercials</a>. It also offers some news about the ads and teaser videos. The AdWeek web site has <a href="https://www.adweek.com/news/advertising-branding/super-bowl-ad-tracker-all-about-2017s-commercials-175124">Super Bowl commercial preview</a> links and news as well. If you don&#8217;t mind getting some odd results, a simple <a href="https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=super+bowl+2017+commercials">Super Bowl commercials YouTube search</a> will provide links to the early releases of TV spots. And you&#8217;ll also find there some ads that Fox and the NFL reportedly rejected, which can be kind of fun.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve also compiled some of the already released ads and teasers below. Enjoy!</p>
<div class="yellow-box"><div class="yellow-box-content">Although it&#8217;s fun to watch Super Bowl commercials early on your computer or smartphone screen here, you really will want to see them on Super Sunday on a high-quality TV screen. If you need a new TV, check out the Ben&#8217;s Bargains collection of <a href="https://bensbargains.com/categories/tvs-58/">deals on TVs</a> that can help you save some money.</div></div>
<h3>Avacados from Mexico</h3>
<p>This is a teaser to the group&#8217;s actual Super Bowl ad.</p>
<div class="video-shortcode"><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="620" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/a-d2fTXc1hE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<h3>Bai</h3>
<p>Bai has released a teaser to its Super Bowl ad.</p>
<div class="video-shortcode"><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="620" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/rRKx6RAAYWw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<h3>Budweiser</h3>
<p>Ever wondered why Budweiser and Bud Light are so prominently featured in Super Bowl commercials? It&#8217;s because Anheuser-Busch InBev, Bud&#8217;s brewer, owns exclusive rights for advertising alcohol during the Super Bowl and has for many years. AB InBev has not unveiled any of its official plans for Super Bowl LI advertisements, but the brewer did debut new ads during the AFC and NFC championship games two weeks before the Super Bowl, so at least one of the company&#8217;s ads Sunday may run somewhere along the same theme as the ad here.</p>
<div class="video-shortcode"><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="620" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/GBpZimc5Z5I" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>

<h3>Hyundai</h3>
<p>Hyundai will be creating its 90-second, documentary-style commercial <em>during</em> the game, using scenes from around the Super Bowl featuring fans for an ad to air right after the game ends. The company has released two teaser videos featuring past Super Bowl stars, Mike Singletary and Joe Montana.</p>
<div class="video-shortcode"><iframe loading="lazy" title="YouTube video player" width="620" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/kPl73BOo-E4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>

<h3>Intel</h3>
<p>Intel&#8217;s ad stars Super Bowl quarterback Tom Brady of the New England Patriots. (We&#8217;ll let you judge if this belongs on our list of <a href="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/features/get-to-know-tom-brady-the-actor/">Brady&#8217;s five best acting performances</a>.)</p>

<h3>Mercedes-Benz</h3>

<h3>Mr. Clean</h3>
<p>Mr. Clean is a big guy; he might have a shot to play tight end in the Super Bowl. But he&#8217;ll have to settle for starring in his own official Super Bowl commercial. There are two teaser videos for the Mr. Clean entry. Fair warning: They&#8217;re creepy &#8230; unless you have a long-standing secret crush on Mr. Clean. Then you might be putting them on constant replay.</p>
<div class="video-shortcode"><iframe loading="lazy" title="YouTube video player" width="620" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/DRFeoMMImb0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>

<h3>Pepsi</h3>
<p>Former Super Bowl winning quarterback Joe Flacco stars in this teaser to Pepsi&#8217;s Super Bowl LI ad, discussing what to do with Super Bowl party poopers. It&#8217;s one of many Pepsi teaser ads available on YouTube.</p>
<div class="video-shortcode"><iframe loading="lazy" title="YouTube video player" width="620" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/xwtVkwr_Uss" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>

<div class="video-shortcode"><iframe loading="lazy" title="YouTube video player" width="620" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/vBOQEqzDCM4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<h3>Skittles</h3>
<p>Fortunately, we won&#8217;t have to see any disturbing Steven Tyler portraits made from Skittles this year.</p>
<div class="video-shortcode"><iframe loading="lazy" title="YouTube video player" width="620" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/bKe8mRgw6LQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<h3>Snickers</h3>
<p>As we mentioned earlier, Snickers will be airing its Super Bowl LI commercial live. Here&#8217;s a teaser.</p>
<div class="video-shortcode"><iframe loading="lazy" title="YouTube video player" width="620" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ROHiehEzUcE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<h3>Squarespace</h3>
<p>As shown in this teaser ad, John Malkovich will be trying to build a web site in Squarespace&#8217;s Super Bowl TV ad.</p>

<h3>Tide</h3>
<p>Tide announced <a href="https://twitter.com/elitedailyshow/status/824306437253799936">in a Twitter video</a> that its Super Bowl commercial will star Rob Gronkowski, Patriots tight end who will miss the Super Bowl with an injury.</p>
<h3><strong>TurboTax</strong></h3>
<p>Humpty Dumpty and tax software don&#8217;t go together &#8230; unless it&#8217;s in a Super Bowl commercial, of course. (This is a teaser to TurboTax&#8217;s actual ad.)</p>
<div class="video-shortcode"><iframe loading="lazy" title="YouTube video player" width="620" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/wgh6K1TXw28" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<h3>Wix.com</h3>
<p>Wix.com has released a two-part teaser of its planned Super Bowl ad, starring Jason Statham and Gal Gadot.</p>
<div class="video-shortcode"><iframe loading="lazy" title="YouTube video player" width="620" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/bcrrxRk-YeQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>

<h3>Wonderful Pistachios</h3>
<p>Pistachios will team up with Ernie the Elephant for a 15-second spot, as shown in <a href="https://twitter.com/getcrackin/status/785467475118940161">in a Twitter video</a>.</p>
<h3>Yellow Tail Wine</h3>
<p>The Yellow Tail Wine ad is an interesting one. As mentioned earlier, Bud owns the exclusive rights to advertise alcohol during the Super Bowl. So Yellow Tail has chosen to purchase advertising time from local Fox affiliates, and its ad should reach roughly 80% of Americans.</p>
<div class="video-shortcode"><iframe loading="lazy" title="YouTube video player" width="620" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ae3n1jdsuaA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<h2>Revisiting More Super Bowl Commercials</h2>
<p>Ad Age put together a comprehensive list of the <a href="https://adage.com/article/special-report-super-bowl/super-bowl-50-ad-chart-buying-big-game-commercials/301183/">companies that advertised during Super Bowl 50</a>, including reviews of each ad and a link to the streaming video clips. This is a great way to remember the best Super Bowl ads from last year and to compare those spots to the new 2017 Super Bowl commercials.</p>
<p>And USA Today put together a list last year of the <a href="https://admeter.usatoday.com/2016/01/21/ad-meter-50-for-50th-best-super-bowl-commercials/">50 best Super Bowl commercials of all time</a>, including the classic Mean Joe Greene ad for Coke.</p>
<div class="video-shortcode"><iframe loading="lazy" title="YouTube video player" width="620" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/xffOCZYX6F8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<p>If you&#8217;d like to view a few cringe-worthy ads, Fortune has put together the <a href="https://fortune.com/2016/02/05/worst-super-bowl-ads/">10 worst Super Bowl commercials</a>. With these disastrous entries, even a 55-10 Super Bowl game would have been more entertaining.</p>

<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" class="sharethis-inline-share-buttons" ></div><p>One of the most popular aspects of the Super Bowl every year is figuring out which crazy Super Bowl bets Las Vegas is accepting on the big game. Called <strong>prop bets</strong>, the Las Vegas sports books are looking to draw attention from people who might not be the biggest football fans by placing odds on the silliest things surrounding the Super Bowl. And it works!</p>
<p>But if you aren&#8217;t traveling to Las Vegas for the Super Bowl weekend, you won&#8217;t be able to make wagers on these fun and crazy Super Bowl prop bets. (This is the part of the article where we all pretend that <a href="https://archives.fbi.gov/archives/news/stories/2007/june/gambling_060607">no one illegally gambles</a> with overseas web-based sports books.) If you still want to have some fun with these wagers, consider incorporating them into pools you can use at the Super Bowl party you&#8217;re attending. Competing with other party goers on these pools can be a lot of fun, even if the game itself is not all that competitive or exciting.</p>
<h2>Methods for Creating Pools</h2>
<p><a href="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Super-Bowl-prop-bet-winners.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-26855 aligncenter" src="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Super-Bowl-prop-bet-winners.jpg" loading="lazy" alt="Super Bowl prop bet winners" width="464" height="500" srcset="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Super-Bowl-prop-bet-winners.jpg 464w, https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Super-Bowl-prop-bet-winners-278x300.jpg 278w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 464px) 100vw, 464px" /></a></p>
<p>You can run the pools in a few different ways, making them fun and competitive. Feel free to create a gaudy trophy to go to the winner that could be re-awarded each year. Or if you want a little more of a cool factor for the winner, maybe pick up a Matt Ryan or Julian Edelman jersey; we have some <a href="https://bensbargains.com/merchants/nfl-shop-coupons-252/">coupons for the NFL Store</a> that we&#8217;ve collected at Ben&#8217;s Bargains to help with the cost.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Printed Sheet: </strong>Create a form with 10 to 30 prop bets that are yes/no questions. Whoever picks the most correctly wins. Predict the game score as a tie-breaker.</li>
<li><strong>Fake Wagers: </strong>Use the odds from the actual prop bets. Give each person $1,000 of fake money to split among the wagers, and whoever earns the most money based on the amount wagered and the actual odds wins.</li>
<li><strong>Dumb Luck: </strong>If all of the above seems like too much work, place the names of different players in a hat and have party goers each draw a few different names. Then when a player wins one of the prop bets, such as for scoring the first touchdown or the MVP trophy, whoever has that name receives a prize.</li>
</ul>
<h2>On the Field Prop Bets</h2>
<p><a href="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Super-Bowl-gatorade-prop-bet.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-26852 aligncenter" src="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Super-Bowl-gatorade-prop-bet.jpg" loading="lazy" alt="Super Bowl gatorade prop bet" width="750" height="421" srcset="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Super-Bowl-gatorade-prop-bet.jpg 750w, https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Super-Bowl-gatorade-prop-bet-300x168.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" /></a></p>
<p>The Patriots opened as a 3-point favorite over the Falcons, but that&#8217;s only the tip of the iceberg! Here are some of the crazy Super Bowl bets involving the on the field action that you can incorporate into your pools.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Game winner: </strong>Patriots, 9/10; Falcons, 10/9</li>
<li><strong>Game MVP: </strong><a href="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/features/get-to-know-tom-brady-the-actor/">Tom Brady</a>, 3/2; Matt Ryan, 7/4; Julio Jones, 11/2; Someone else, 10/1</li>
<li><strong>Total points scored: </strong>Over 57.5, 1/1; Under 57.5, 1/1</li>
<li><strong>Who will score the most touchdowns or tie for the most: </strong>Julio Jones, 4/1; Devonta Freeman, 6/1; LaGarrette Blount, 7/1; Chris Hogan, 7/1; Someone else, 8/1</li>
<li><strong>What color of Gatorade will be dumped on the winning coach: </strong>Orange, 9/4; Blue, 3/1; Yellow, 7/2; Red, 6/1; Other color, 5/1; None, 10/1</li>

<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" class="sharethis-inline-share-buttons" ></div><p>As preparations for Super Bowl LI between the Patriots and Falcons continue, most of the attention is focusing on Tom Brady, New England&#8217;s star quarterback, who will make his NFL-record seventh Super Bowl start. And he&#8217;s looking to win a quarterback record fifth Super Bowl ring.</p>
<p>With all of the current talk about Brady&#8217;s quarterbacking skills and competitive nature and Deflate-gate, you may pretty tired of hearing about Brady on and off the field. So how about a twist on the Tom Brady information overload? We&#8217;ve compiled a list of Brady&#8217;s five best TV and movie appearances, where he appeared as himself. So consider streaming these shows instead of watching SportsCenter leading up to the Super Bowl and learning about what Brady ate for breakfast for the fifth straight day. (You can thank us later.)</p>
<h2>1. Family Guy (TV)</h2>
<p>Brady voiced himself during the Family Guy<em> </em>episode, Patriot Games, where he meets Peter Griffin at Peter&#8217;s high school reunion. After watching Peter sprint to the bathroom, clearing people out of the way easily, Brady invites him to try out for the Patriots as an offensive lineman.</p>
<div class="video-shortcode"><iframe loading="lazy" title="YouTube video player" width="620" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/lW-YLafpZcY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<p>Peter becomes a superstar, and Brady even eats dinner at the Griffin&#8217;s home. But Peter&#8217;s out of control ego leads to a falling out with Brady and with Peter being traded away from the Patriots to the London Sillinannies.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong><a href="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Tom-Brady-on-Family-Guy.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-26787" src="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Tom-Brady-on-Family-Guy-108x300.jpg" loading="lazy" alt="Tom Brady on Family Guy" width="108" height="300" srcset="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Tom-Brady-on-Family-Guy-108x300.jpg 108w, https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Tom-Brady-on-Family-Guy.jpg 292w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 108px) 100vw, 108px" /></a>Title: </strong>Patriot Games</li>
<li><strong>Season: </strong>4</li>
<li><strong>Episode: </strong>20</li>
<li><strong>First Aired: </strong>Jan. 29, 2006</li>
</ul>
<p>References to Brady and the Patriots are common on Family Guy, as all of the show&#8217;s main characters are New England fans.</p>
<ul>
<li>Stewie mentions his displeasure that Brady did not play in Super Bowl XXXIII in the flashback episode, Back to the Pilot (aired Nov. 13, 2011), the joke being the Patriots didn&#8217;t play in that game and Brady wasn&#8217;t in the NFL yet.</li>
<li>Peter makes himself feel better by imagining a photo of Brady ironing in Road to India (aired May 22, 2016).</li>
<li>When Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski moves next door to the Griffins in the episode Gronkowsbees (aired Jan. 15, 2017), Brady is mentioned often, but he doesn&#8217;t appear.</li>
</ul>
<h2>2. The Simpsons (TV)</h2>
<p>Brady voiced himself on The Simpsons, appearing in the same episode as LeBron James, Warren Sapp, Michelle Kwan, and Yao Ming, called Homer and Ned&#8217;s Hail Mary Pass. In the episode, Homer begins helping sports stars improve their celebration dances after making winning plays, and the dances, of course, become increasingly obnoxious.</p>
<div class="video-shortcode"><iframe loading="lazy" title="YouTube video player" width="620" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/2M-18AsbUak" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<p>Brady is one of the stars who hires Homer, and he ends up celebrating a touchdown while riding a Segway and towing a banner saying, &#8220;Everyone sucks but me!&#8221; The episode aired on Fox after Super Bowl XXXIX, a game in which Brady led New England to a 24-21 win against Philadelphia.</p>

<p><strong>Title: </strong>Homer and Ned&#8217;s Hail Mary Pass</li>
<li><strong>Season: </strong>16</li>
<li><strong>Episode: </strong>8</li>
<li><strong>First Aired: </strong>Feb. 6, 2005</li>
</ul>
<p>The Simpsons have had numerous NFL and Super Bowl references during the long run of the show.</p>
<ul>
<li>The Atlanta Falcons receive a mention in the episode Sunday, Cruddy Sunday (aired Jan. 31, 1999), in which many characters from Springfield take a bus to the Super Bowl, only to discover their tickets are fake when they arrive. The writers made fun of the fact that the show had to be written months ahead of learning who would actually play in the game, so they used a voice over trick (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LeiCd_PQMl0">YouTube clip</a>) to insert the names of Atlanta and Denver, who played in Super Bowl XXXIII that year. The episode aired after the Super Bowl game on Fox.</li>
<li>In the episode The Town (aired Oct. 9, 2016), the Springfield Atoms play a team from Boston, where the team colors are blue and red and the quarterback wears number 12. (Not exactly a subtle reference to the Patriots and Tom Brady.)</li>
</ul>
<h2>3. Ted 2 (movie)</h2>
<p>Brady makes a cameo appearance in the movie Ted 2, where Ted the bear and John (played by Brady&#8217;s friend, Mark Wahlberg) seek Brady to become a sperm donor for a baby Ted wants to have.</p>
<div class="video-shortcode"><iframe loading="lazy" title="YouTube video player" width="620" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/83xaGtnlvR0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<p>The duo breaks into Brady&#8217;s home while he&#8217;s sleeping, hoping to &#8220;harvest&#8221; the sperm, leading Brady to throw them out a window.</p>
<ul>
<li><b>Year Released: </b>2015</li>
</ul>
<h2>4. Entourage (TV)</h2>
<p>Brady and Wahlberg both make cameo appearances in the Entourage TV show, called Fore! During a celebrity golf tournament, the characters Vince and Drama are paired with Brady and Wahlberg. Drama ends up breaking Brady&#8217;s driver.</p>
<div class="video-shortcode"><iframe loading="lazy" title="YouTube video player" width="620" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3jITqoQbpO0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<ul>
<li><strong>Title: </strong>Fore!</li>
<li><strong>Season: </strong>6</li>
<li><strong>Episode: </strong>5</li>
<li><strong>First Aired: </strong>Aug. 9, 2009</li>
</ul>
<h2>5. Entourage (movie)</h2>
<p>Brady returned to the Entourage franchise for its 2015 movie, where he appeared with Russell Wilson, Seattle&#8217;s quarterback, and Brady&#8217;s Patriots teammates, Rob Gronkowski and Julian Edelman. Brady&#8217;s cameo is brief, as he plays himself reacting to watching a viral video from Drama.</p>
<ul>
<li><b>Year Released: </b>2015</li>
<li><strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5dwbRELoMQ&amp;oref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D-5dwbRELoMQ&amp;has_verified=1">YouTube Clip</a> </strong>(NSFW)</li>
</ul>
<h2>Bonus! Tom Brady&#8217;s Wicked Accent (Web)</h2>
<p>Tom appeared in a Funny or Die Short five years ago with a humorous twist on his celebrity status. See for yourself:</p>
