The Rams winning the Super Bowl was truly the cherry on top of an excellent, Los Angeles-fueled event. From the game going down in Inglewood at SoFi Stadium to L.A. rap giants taking the stage for the halftime show, the City of Angels should be proud. However, we’re here to appreciate the bread and butter of the Super Bowl: the commercials. Without these spectacularly clever ads, the game would be, well, just a game. Read on for seven of the best (notoriously expensive) commercials that aired during the Super Bowl.
Squarespace, the company that provides software for website building, managed to turn a nursery school rhyme into a full-fledged entrepreneurial journey that highlights the power of the internet (more specifically, having a website for your business).

According to this Planet Fitness ad, she’s great and we couldn’t be happier to see it. Be sure to watch for the Danny Trejo cameo, which features Lohan bedazzling his ankle monitor.
It’s comedy meets history lesson in this Larry David-starring ad for FTX, a cryptocurrency exchange platform. Naysayers are the ultimate blockers of innovation, so, as David proves time and time again, why should we listen to them?
What better joy is there than a Paul Rudd-Seth Rogen buddy comedy? How about a Paul Rudd-Seth Rogen buddy comedy with a one minute runtime? Pulling hard on nostalgic heart strings, Lay’s finds the sweet spot between familiarity and laughability.
So this one is technically a proper movie trailer, but it’s a big-deal commercial, nevertheless! It’s been over five years since Doctor Strange hit theaters and this two minute-and-sixteen-seconds trailer is full of rich insight into what will be in store for Marvel fans come May 6.
