Super Bowl commercials are once again one of the biggest items of discussion now that we’re just days away from Super Bowl 50.
The airtime for this year’s Super Bowl is estimated to cost brands a record-high $5 million for each 30-second ad (last year’s cost $4.5 million). There is no discount for buying a full 60-seconds, which is what some companies have opted to do. Hell, brands like Budweiser and Hyundai are even airing multiple commercials throughout the game.
First time Super Bowl advertisers include Amazon, Apartments.com, SoFi, Colgate, Bai, Sun Trust Bank, Persil ProClean, Marmot, and PayPal.
Super Bowl 50 is just around the corner, which means that list after list of top
This is also the first year that commercials will air both on the TV broadcast and live stream. Keep in mind that we’ll be updating this master list with new commercials and information. So without further ado, here is the complete list of Super Bowl 2016 commercials that will air during Super Bowl 50:
Pokemon 20
#Pokemon20: Pokémon Super Bowl Commercial
To celebrate 20 years of Pokemon, the Japanese game franchise created an admittedly gorgeous Super Bowl commercial that cost upwards of $10 million.
Since the release of the commercial, we’ve learned that Pokemon has a couple new games in the works.

A surprise entry for Super Bowl commercials is #Pokemon20, which debuted on YouTube on Monday,
Shock Top
Shock Top | Make It In America | “Unfiltered Talk” with T.J. Miller
TJ Miller teamed up with Shock Top to make an unfiltered commercial for the beer company.
Celebrities: TJ Miller
Shock Top, comedian TJ Miller, and the tasty beer’s mascot Wedgehead are gearing up for
Death Wish Coffee & Intuit Quick Books
Storms a-Brewin’
This year, Intuit Quick Books decided to do something a little different with their Super Bowl ad space and give the air time to a small business. Death Wish Coffee, a critically-acclaimed coffee retailer based out of upstate New York, was this year’s recipient. It’s an absolutely massive deal for the company that only employs 11 people.
Check out the awesome Viking-themed commercial above.

When Will It Air: Third Quarter
Budweiser
#GiveADamn
Budweiser, the company that usually keeps it’s Super Bowl cards close to their chest, released this ad featuring Helen Mirren attacking those who choose to drink and drive. “If you drive drunk, you, simply put, are a short-sighted, utterly useless, oxygen wasting, human form of pollution,” Mirren says.
Putting its money where its mouth is, Budweiser will donate $1 million to safe rides programs.
Celebrities: Helen Mirren
Bud Light
#BudLightParty
Seth Rogen and Amy Schumer teamed up for the Bud Light Party, the new political party that just wants to bring beer drinkers together. What you see here is just a tease–it’s not the official spot that will run during the Super Bowl.
Celebrities: Seth Rogen and Amy Schumer
T-Mobile
Drake Super Bowl Ad
Sadly, it took T-Mobile to let the world know that not everything Drake touches is gold.
Celebrities: Drake
Amazon Echo
#BaldwinBowl
Alec Baldwin and Dan Marino star in the newest Amazon Echo commercial, which is a product that we here at COED love. The ad? Not so much, but it’s always comforting to see Alec Baldwin reprise the sort-of 30 Rock role where he plays a somewhat clueless billionaire always trying to get ahead.
Celebrities: Alec Baldwin, Dan Marino, Missy Elliot
Heinz
Weiner Stampede
In our humble opinion, it’s hard to beat the “Weiner Stampede” commercial that comes from Heinz ketchup. Not just because we love ketchup, but because we love cute dogs and we love good commercials.
Celebrities: None
Apartments.com
#MovinOnUp
Lil Wayne is still alive and apparently chilling with George Washington (?). There are a couple of teasers have have released thus far, but none of them really do it for us.
Celebrities: Lil Wayne
When Will It Air: Second Commercial Break
Colgate
#EveryDropCounts
In a respectable move, Colgate opted to stay away from humorous commercials and talk about a serious issue facing the United States and the rest of the world: water waste. The informative ad asks those of you brushing your teeth to turn off the faucet when not in use.

When Will It Air: Two Minute Warning of 1st Half
Pepsi
Camp Halftime
Pepsi is one of the biggest supporters of the Super Bowl, so in addition to the fact that they own the naming rights to the halftime show the soda company has also unleashed a huge ad campaign surrounding their involvement in the game.
They’ve created “Camp Halftime” an imaginary summer camp where young adults talk about the importance of pop, locking, and dropping.
Celebrities: Donald Faison
Avocados From Mexico
Avos In Space
How Avocados scrambled up enough dough to put together a Super Bowl ad is a mystery to us, but the good news is that their money didn’t go to waste. This 60-second spot featuring Scott Baio and a bunch of aliens touring our human culture has a couple of solid funny moments.
Celebrities: Scott Baio
LG
Man From The Future
Even if we didn’t like this new commercial for the amazing LG OLED TVs, we wouldn’t say anything because we’ve learned that you just don’t cross Liam Neeson. Pretty amazing marketing decision from LG, no?
Celebrities: Liam Neeson
Hyundai
“Ryanville” and “The Chase”
Hyundai is double dipping this year for the Super Bowl, first with a pretty impressive commercial featuring Ryan Reynolds and then with a second ad that demonstrates to “talk to start” option their new cars start with.
Celebrities: Ryan Reynolds
When Will It Air: Both will air in the first half
Skittles
The Portrait With Steven Tyler
Since Marshawn Lynch is no longer involved in the Super Bowl, Skittles now turns its head to Steven Tyler of Aerosmith.
Celebrities: Steven Tyler
Mini Cooper
#DefyLabels
In an attempt to separate itself from the pack, Mini Cooper hired USWNT legend Abby Wambach to talk about her own differences and how she refuses to let people define her. It’s a great idea, but one that might not gel so well with the rest of the Super Bowl commercials.
Celebrities: Abby Wambach
When Will It Air: Third Quarter
Honda
A New Truck To Love
Admittedly, having a pick-up truck with a trailer bed audio system is pretty cool as far as options for a pick-up truck options go. So why couldn’t they make a better commercial?
Celebrities: None
When Will It Air: Third Quarter
KIA
Walken Closet
The 2016 Kia Optima has gotten fantastic reviews, so KIA is looking to get the word out using the acting skills of Christopher Walken.
Celebrities: Christopher Walken
Super Bowl Babies
Super Bowl Babies Choir feat. Seal
This Super Bowl Babies commercial actually comes from the NFL.
Celebrities: Seal
Mountain Dew
KickStart Teaser
Mountain Dew was never known for taking the road less traveled, but we find this new campaign for their morning energy drink more terrifying than the fact that there’s a morning energy drink. The ad features a creature that is part baby, part pug, part monkey, part horse. Like we said: terrifying.
Celebrities: None
Turbo Tax
“Someone Else”
James Lipton of Inside the Actor’s Studio seems pretty excited to be a part of another Super Bowl commercial on behalf of Turbo Tax… Until he learns he isn’t.
Celebrities: James Lipton
SoFi
This Is The Beginning of a Bankless World
SoFi–the bank that “isn’t”–jumps into the world of the Super Bowl with their first ever commercial.
Celebrities: None
Acura NSX
“What He Said”
The Acura NSX employs the voice and sounds of Van Halen’s “Running With The Devil” to showcase their pretty amazing looking vehicle, the 2016 NSX.
Celebrities: Van Halen
When It Will Air: First Quarter
Wix.com
#StartStunning
Kung Fu Panda and Wix.com have teamed up this year to tell viewers about the importance of a quality website to drive e-commerce.
Celebrities: Jack Black, Dustin Hoffman
SunTrust Bank
Hold Your Breath
SunTrust enters the world of Super Bowl ads for the first time. We don’t know what the subject matter is, but if the bank expects us to literally hold our breath for multiple days they won’t have many customers left.
Celebrities: None
WeatherTech
Resources
WeatherTech, in a brilliant move considering the audience watching the Super Bowl, has decided to throw its hat in the ring of really, really expensive commercials.

When Will It Air: First Half
The Big Bang Theory
Five words. F*ck. The. Big. Bang. Theory.
Celebrities: Those guys and that girl from The Big Bang Theory
