Super Bowl 2026 ads, ranked from best to worst

Were you acceptable for immoderate non-football consumerism? Ready oregon not, the Super Bowl’s yearly blitz of commercials landed earlier and during the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots defense-first matchup, with immoderate ads served up successful beforehand portion others were unveiled for the archetypal clip during the game. As successful erstwhile years, determination were superior clunkers (looking astatine you Bud Light rolling keg ad), but besides a fewer that transcended their buy-more ngo (may you unrecorded everlastingly Melissa McCarthy). Other trends we noticed: celebrities treble dipping to look successful much than 1 Super Bowl commercialized (three if you’re Sofía Vergara), tons of borderline-gross wit (exploding heads, singing clumps of shaved assemblage hair, singing toilets and plentifulness of ads trying to person America that artificial quality tools aren’t a discarded of clip and energy).

While galore of this year’s ads promoted AI and the accustomed rah-rah-America nods to patriotism, 1 inclination we noticed was that the longer versions for immoderate of the champion Super Bowl ads, recovered online, were adjacent amended than the condensed cuts that made it to broadcast. What if adjacent year, we marque the Super Bowl 3 quarters and the commercialized breaks 15 minutes long? Any takers?

While we hold for that superb thought to marque it to the NFL’s offices, present are the large crippled ads we loved the astir and a fewer that fumbled the shot — large time.
