The Super Bowl isn’t about just the game; it’s about the commercials, too, and it’s been like that for years.

Scroll through the list below of our pick of the 13 best Super Bowl commercials of 2021.
M&M’s
Honestly, M&M’s can make even the most uncomfortable of apologies better. Their Super Bowl ad is proof.
Paramount+
Paramount+, the new rebranding of the CBS All Access streaming service, had a series of funny ads that ran during the Super Bowl that highlighted their diverse lineup while on a trek up a mountain. From James Corden to Jeff Probst to even Beavis and Butt-Head, there’s clearly something for everyone on Paramount+.
Doritos 3D
Matthew McConaughey hasn’t been feeling alright, alright, alright, but Doritos 3D helps him return to normal.
GM
Will Ferrell doesn’t like Norway, and it has to do with them selling more electric cars per capita than the United States.
Bud Light
Bud Light brought back some of their most popular ad campaigns and packed them all into their 2021 Super Bowl ad.
State Farm
State Farm brought the funny and the star power with their Super Bowl ad which included Aaron Rodgers, Patrick Mahomes, Paul Rudd and Drake.
Tide
Tide’s 60-second spot for their new Hygienic Clean Heavy Duty 10X Power PODS features the misadventures of a Jason Alexander hoodie set to the theme song from America’s Greatest Hero, which, of course, is a favorite tune of George Costanza.
T-Mobile
Did Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani become one of the most popular celebrity couples thanks to a spotty network? That’s what T-Mobile would have you think in their Super Bowl ad.
Uber Eats
Uber Eats touted the importance of supporting local restaurants with the help of Wayne Campbell, Garth Algar and Cardi B.
Cheetos
Mila Kunis channeled the sage advice of Shaggy when she was caught with husband Ashton Kutcher’s stash of Cheetos’ new Crunch Pop Mix.
Cadillac
Cadillac’s Super Bowl ad served as an update on Edward Scissorhands with Timothée Chalamet starring as Edgar, the son of Edward Scissorhands, and Winona Ryder reprising her role as Kim Boggs. As far as casting Edgar Scissorhands, Chalamet is pretty much perfect.
Jeep
Jeep’s Super Bowl ad stars Bruce Springsteen and centers around the message of meeting in the middle as symbolized by a tiny chapel in Kansas.
Amazon Alexa
The new Amazon Alexa body design is beautiful, but what if it were perfect like Michael B. Jordan?
