Super Bowl 50 Commercials: Sneak Peek

For some people, Super Bowl commercials are better than the game itself. That’s fine; we don’t judge. Either way, it looks like you’ll be in for a treat this year. Several companies have already released their Super Bowl 50 commercials (so much for building up the suspense).

They probably want to get the most out of their money. After all, 30 seconds of time during the Super Bowl costs $5 million ($166,666.67 per second), up 11 percent from last year’s $4.5 million. And that doesn’t include the cost of production.

Here are a few favorites so you can get a sneak peek — and decide when to take a bathroom break without missing anything.

Heinz - “Wiener Stampede”

Wiener dogs and hotdog costumes. On the humor scale: Very Bunny.

Doritos - “Ultrasound”

The chip-maker once again opened up commercial making to the public, with the winning creator winning $1 million. It released the three finalists, with the winning ad actually airing during the game.

This one was our favorite of the three:

Kia - “Walken Closet” (teaser)

Christopher Walken helps a man find his socks in a closet (get it?) in a short teaser for Kia’s full ad.

NFL - “Super Bowl Babies”

“Data suggests nine months after a Super Bowl victory, winning cities see a rise in births,” the NFL’s newest ad claims.

We’ll let you do the math.

Mountain Dew - “Get Pumped” (teaser)

This pug wants you to wake up. Or something.
