The Super Bowl is upon us, and for those of you who don’t like football (which teams are playing again?), we know you mostly just watch for the commercials – and the buffalo wings. Each year the Super Bowl ads get bigger and buzzier. And if they feature a celebrity, that’s even better. This year we already know Kim Kardashian and Mindy Kaling have secured big game day ads, but let’s take a look back at some of our favorite celebrity Super Bowl commercials from years past.
1. Anna Kendrick for Newcastle Beer:
Our personal favorite. Anna Kendrick totally nailed this non-beer ad beer ad. Her hilarious ramblings while getting her hair primped made her a total beer girl babe in our eyes.
2. Scarlett Johansson for SodaStream:
ScarJo, an Oxfam ambassador, found herself in the middle of a political controversy by endorsing this brand, because they operate a factory in an Israeli settlement on the West Bank. She clarified she never intended to make any kind of statement with the endorsement. It still kinda made us want to get a SodaStream though.
3. Stephen Colbert for Pistachios:
What a nut! This commercial was wacky, but it did make us crave pistachios.
4. Amy Poehler for Best Buy:
Honestly, Amy Poehler could sell us anything. Hearing her ask ridiculous questions about technology just made us love her even more.
5. James Franco for Ford:
James Franco and a tiger. We don’t really know. Just go with it.
6. Megan Fox for Motorola:
We bet most people don’t even remember what Megan Fox was selling. They just remember she was in a bathtub. FYI: She reportedly used a thumb double for this ad.
7. Naya Rivera for M&M’s:
Poor Red M&M guy. He was too sweet for his own good. Glee’s Naya Rivera just wanted to (literally) eat him up.
8. Betty White for Snickers:
Seeing Betty White play football and get “tackled” was the best part of this commercial. Betty White makes everything better.
9. Bar Refaeli for GoDaddy:
This commercial got so much attention for having supermodel Bar Refaeli make out with some chubby, nerdy dude. It was so disturbing we couldn’t look away.
10. John Stamos for Oikos Greek Yogurt:
This commercial included a random Full House reunion. Bob Saget and Dave Coulier joined John Stamos to promote Greek yogurt. Strange, but we’ll take it.
