At Canter’s Deli, Andy Samberg struts in as “Meal Diamond,” hijacks the room, and flips Sweet Caroline into a mayo-powered singalong. The hook is stupid-catchy—“So good, so good, so good”—and Elle Fanning’s cameo lands like a delighted jump-scare as the whole deli becomes his chorus. Watch the video below.

One of Super Bowl 60’s most anticipated and most marquee ads was the collaboration between Pringles and Sabrina Carpenter, who brings her undeniable charisma and her well-documented dating woes to the magic of the original canned chips. Indeed, as you can see in the video below, there’s as much comedy in the bit as there […]

Netflix walked into Super Bowl LX like it owned the room, because nobody expects a streamer to spend that kind of cultural capital mid-game, let alone on a deep-cut character spinoff. The shock wasn’t just “new trailer” energy—it was the pivot: commercials are supposed to sell a product, and instead the broadcast briefly turned into […]

You knew Bud Light was going to roll out the bags and zeroes for this year’s Super Bowl 60 commercial, and they sure didn’t disappoint.
