E-Trade returns to Super Bowl 2013 with the now familiar E-Trade baby, who is apparently trapped in some sort of anomaly in the time continuum that prevents him from aging.

Even 'Parks and Recreation' star Amy Poehler is getting in on the Super Bowl commercials of 2013.

If the answer isn't "all of them," then we don't want to buy one.

Emerald Catron — Fri, 01 Feb 2013 19:50:35 +0000

Alright, this is Super Bowl 2013 commercial is pretty funny. Except for how angry we would be if somebody took our clothes out of the dryer the *moment* it turned off at the laundromat. Not cool. Basically what we’re saying is that this guy deserves to get caught holding a stranger’s underpants. Fortunately for laundry [...]

Like they typically do, Budweiser will be featuring their famous Clydesdales in one of their 2013 Super Bowl commercials. We’re still not quite sure what they signify.

Sarah Shahzad — Fri, 01 Feb 2013 17:10:24 +0000

Jack in the Box thinks the best way to get people to buy their sandwich is to call it a “Hot Mess.” Is this the most questionable marketing decision of the 2013 Super Bowl? The ad features Jack in the Box’s pretty creepy mascot in an ’80s hair band, singing about said sandwich (we think). [...]

Hyundai’s Super Bowl ad features a family on a fun-filled excursion made even funner by owning a Hyundai and having The Flaming Lips accompany them with a theme song.

Emerald Catron — Tue, 29 Jan 2013 22:20:54 +0000

New to the Super Bowl commercial game for 2013 is Gildan. You know, the company that makes t-shirts that other people print stuff on.

Emerald Catron — Tue, 29 Jan 2013 21:53:24 +0000

This Toyota commercial has got all the necessary ingredients for a big hit at the Super Bowl. There's Kaley Cuoco from 'The Big Bang Theory,' music by Skee-Lo and a guy in a rabbit suit. We're betting there's no shortage of men who don't mind imagining Cuoco as a wish-granting genie. You know, because she could like make enormous trays of nachos appear whenever. Not for any perverted reasons. It's the Super Bowl. Let's keep it clean, fellas.
