Bob Dylan, Anna Kendrick, And The Best Guest Spots In Yesterday’s Super Bowl Ads

Yesterday, while we sat in our dusty offices, America celebrated its drunkest day. The Seattle Seahawks walked away victorious, Bruno Mars and Anthony Kiedis made a terrible funk pact, and George Costanza and Jerry Seinfeld bickered gloriously.

Also, the advertising industry creamed its pants! There were multi-million dollar commercials galore, and most of them featured famous people who today we’d be yelling “SELL OUT!” at, if this was the ’90s. Here are some of the better (or just plain weird examples)…

–

Bob Dylan did a ‘protest ad’ for Chrysler, where he said ‘Merica this, ‘Merica that

–

Anna Kendrick was “the hottest girl in your improv class hot” in an ad for Newcastle Brown Ale beer

–

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Don Cheadle think you need a Bud Light (no thanks, Arnie)

–

Nicholas Winding Refn (Drive, Only God Forgives) turned David Beckham into the world’s Pat Rafter for H&M

–

Tom Hiddleston, Ben Kingsley and Mark Strong put on their slimiest British villains faces to sell you some Jaguars

–

Aussie director John Hillcoat made Coca-Cola the greatest country in the world

–

Alf, Chucky, Kid ‘n’ Play, and everyone else from the ’80s must’ve got a nice paycheck from Radio Shack

–

Terry Crews and the Muppets had a Toyota singalong (it really should’ve been Vanessa Carlton’s ‘A Thousand Miles’)

–

Orpheus from The Matrix wants you to buy a Kia (no thanks, Orpheus)

–

David Gordon Green (Pineapple Express, Prince Avalanche) recruited Quvenzhané Wallis to sell you a Maserati

–

Stephen Colbert gets all the pistachio contracts (geez, how much must that bag cost?)

–

Whoever this Georgia lawyer is should get Hollywood blockbuster money for his next commercial 

–

And 24 tried to sell you the upcoming 24 mini-series (no thanks, 24)

I can’t believe you just watched so many commercials.
