Super Bowl 2022: Early look at the big game ads everyone will be buzzing about – CNET

Sure, the football parts of the Super Bowl are fine, we guess. But many viewers who don’t know a touchdown from a tight end tune in to watch the legendary commercials, super-spendy mini-movies packed with celebrities and special effects. From the legendary 1984 ad for Apple Macintosh computers to the many Budweiser Clydesdales commercials, some of the most famous commercials of all time aired during the big game.

As the new Super Bowl ads roll out before the Feb. 13 game, Super Bowl LVI, we’ll share them here. Some companies just drop teasers hinting at the full ad to come, so you still need to watch the entire spectacle on Super Bowl Sunday to get the whole experience.
