On Sunday night, two teams clashed on the biggest stage in professional football and left it all out on the field in their quest to become the champions of Super Bowl 50. It was an epic meeting for the record books as Broncos quarterback Payton Manning sought to put the ultimate cherry on top of an illustrious career. Meanwhile Carolina QB Cam Newton looked to cap off one of the most impressive seasons of the past decade by continuing the momentum his Panthers had been building throughout the playoffs.
At least, that’s probably what happened. We’re not sure because we were too busy watching all the Super Bowl commercials.

Needless to say, the Super Bowl has become as much about advertising as it has about football. In fact, it might be the one time of the year people actually want to look at ads. And 2016 was a particularly great year for Super Bowl ads because if we’re being honest, the game itself was pretty bad.
But forget all that.
