We love any game day during football season, but there's something special about the Super Bowl. There's nothing quite like it! And while America is more than ready to cheer on their favorite team, some people are usually just as excited for the Super Bowl ads. Normally, commercials are something people tune out—but the Super Bowl has turned them into an art form, packed with A-list celebrities, laugh-out-loud humor, and, of course, those iconic Clydesdale horses. At this point, they're just as entertaining as the halftime show. (They better be, given how much Super Bowl ads cost! 🤯)

As we count down to February 9 and get ready to watch the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Philadelphia Eagles, we're rounding up the best Super Bowl commercials of all time. There have been so many great spots over the years, and you'll never forget the ones that made you laugh the loudest and cry the hardest. (Get ready for the one from The Farmer's Dog. 😭) So, break out your best Super Bowl snacks and take a trip down memory lane.

(Note: These iconic Super Bowl ads are ranked in no particular order, because it's impossible to choose a favorite. But if you have one, share in the comments!)

1. The Farmer's Dog - "Forever"

Who knew a minute-long commercial could hit us so hard? The Farmer's Dog managed to pull at every heartstring with their 2023 Super Bowl ad. It's the sweetest reminder that our pups are more than just pets...they're family. (Sorry, still crying over here!)

2. T-Mobile - "New year. New neighbor."

Grease fans had their hearts singing with this fun one from Super Bowl LVII. Somehow, T-Mobile got John Travolta to do a rendition of his hit song "Summer Nights" (originally a duet with the late Olivia Newton-John). This time, he was joined by Scrubs stars Zach Braff and Donald Faison—so of course it was hilarious. We love a nostalgic moment!

3. Snickers - "The Brady Bunch"

Snickers never disappoints, and their ad calling back to The Brady Bunch is no exception. Watching Danny Trejo take on the role of Marcia Brady might just be one of the greatest things ever—and made this one of the most memorable Super Bowl commercials.

4. Always - "#LikeaGirl"

Who could forget this inspiring ad? It serves as a powerful reminder that doing things "like a girl" is something to be proud of, because girls and women can do anything—and they always do it well.

5. Old Spice - "The Man Your Man Could Smell Like"

Even though it never aired during Super Bowl XLIV, this Old Spice ad took over the internet. It was released online that weekend and quickly became one of the most talked-about campaigns of the entire year.

6. Volkswagen - "The Force"

Super Bowl commercials have used pop culture references for decades, and this Volkswagen spot did it in the most endearing way possible. What's not to love about a little kid who fancies himself Darth Vader?

7. Snickers - "Betty White"

Betty White never fails to get a laugh, and her part in this Snickers ad from Super Bowl XLIV is no exception.

8. Budweiser - "Puppy Love"

Cute puppies, gorgeous Clydesdales, and ice cold beer—what more could anyone want? Budweiser's memorable ad that aired during Super Bowl XLVIII is still talked about today.

9. Doritos - "Cool Ranch Dance"

Sam Elliott dancing to "Old Town Road" with Lil Nas X will go down in history as one of the most unexpected (and hilarious!) Super Bowl mash-ups of all time.

10. Wendy's - "Where's the Beef?"

Long before Wendy's started "beef" on Twitter, the fast-food chain took a shot at its competitor on national television in 1984. This hilarious Super Bowl XVIII ad became an instant classic!

11. Game of Thrones and Bud Light - "Joust"

When HBO seemingly hijacked Bud Light's Super Bowl LIII ad, it gave beer lovers and Game of Thrones fans the crossover they never knew they needed. Dilly dilly!

12. Tide - "It's a Tide Ad"

Tide scored a touchdown with this commercial that aired during Super Bowl LIII and hilariously pointed out that, technically, every ad is a Tide ad.

13. Pepsi - Cindy Crawford

This Pepsi commercial featuring Cindy Crawford was so popular, the soda brand recreated it nearly 30 years later—and even included Cindy's son! Man, that's a good lookin' family.

14. eTrade - "Baby"

When eTrade entrusted its image to a talking baby during Super Bowl XLIV, the company took a big risk. It definitely paid off, because this tiny tot quickly became one of the most recognizable ads on television.

15. Mountain Dew - "Puppy Monkey Baby"

When Mountain Dew created the bizarre "puppy monkey baby," people didn't know what to think—but they also couldn't stop talking about it after Super Bowl LI. Sounds like a success!

16. Reebok - "Office Linebacker"

Reebok's over-the-top commercial for Super Bowl XXXVII was such a hit, it led to a series of similar ads featuring football star Terry Tate.

17. Budweiser - "Singing Frogs"

Budweiser is the unofficial King of Super Bowl commercials, so it only makes sense the beer brand appears on this list twice. This ad from Super Bowl XXIX makes us laugh every 👏 single 👏 time. 👏

18. Coca-Cola - "Mean Joe Greene"

This Coca-Cola ad that aired during the Super Bowl in 1980 is an all-time classic. "Hey kid, catch!" Maybe Bryce can film his own version when he gets to college. 😜

19. Chrysler - "It's Halftime in America"

At a full two-minutes, this Chrysler commercial is one of the longest Super Bowl ads of all time. But the powerful pep talk delivered by Clint Eastwood was exactly what people needed to hear after the Great Recession—and it's still relevant today.

"This country can't be knocked out in one punch. We get back up again, and when we do, the world is gonna hear the roar of our engines," Clint says. "It's halftime, America. And our second half is about to begin."

20. State Farm - "Like a Good Neighbaaa"

The most popular Super Bowl ad of 2024 showed Arnold Schwarzenegger stepping into a new role: insurance agent. The only problem? He couldn't nail the brand's famous tagline. "Like a good neigh...neigh-bah?" Maybe he should've just stuck with, "I'll be back." 😂
