The best Super Bowl commercials of 2023

The Super Bowl: For some, it’s a chance to watch two great teams battle it out on the gridiron for the ultimate prize (and this year, the teams sure are exciting). For others, it’s an opportunity to get together with family, enjoy some snacks, and watch the extravagant halftime show. But you’re here for the commercials, and we have the highlights.

This is where you’ll find all the information you need to watch your favorite commercials again. Click on the link to see the trailers for movies that were shown during Super Bowl.

We now move onto commercials

Walt and Jesse make chips

File this under “it’s good to see them back together.” Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul, and Raymond Cruz reprise their roles as Walter White, Jesse Pinkman, and Tuco Salamanca in this add for a corn chip brand, where basically “meth” is substituted for “corn chips.”

Sarah McLachlan protects a wolf

Sarah McLachlan, a singer and songwriter parodies the ASPCA commercials in this Busch Light ad. The last commercial featured a bizarre CGI Doberman/Chihuahua cross. It doubles up as an outdoor-y parody, with a wolf.

Ben Affleck does Dunkin’ drive-thru

“Ben Affleck loves Dunkin’ Donuts” has been an enjoyable meme in 2023, and this commercial had our Foremost Boston Celebrity surprise drive-thru customers (and Jennifer Lopez) on the other side of the pickup glass.

Poker Face

Peacock’s new “howcatchem” mystery serial from Rian Johnson and starring Natasha Lyonne has a cute themed spot, where Lyonne’s character Charlie (who always knows when someone is lying) points out various “lies” in Super Bowl commercials. The ad’s fine (per the fiction of the show, the real Charlie would not be able to tell many of these lies), but Poker Face rules.

Steve Martin is he really acting?

Pepsi Zero Sugar ran two Super Bowl ads that played off of the same concept. Are actor endorsements true or just another case where actors are acting well? Both had Ben Stiller while the other featured Steve Martin. They both have fun moments, but we’re going with Martin’s here.

Clueless again

Alicia Silverstone is back as Cher Horowitz in another “recognizable character returns for a Super Bowl ad” commercial. Clueless: it’s good!

A brighter Boston

I gotta be honest, the “your cousin from Boston” ads from Sam Adams usually irritate me. Kevin Garnett is wearing turtleneck and glasses to sell his self-help guide. Yes, I agree.
