The 7 Super Bowl 2025 ads actually worth watching

Doechii narrated an ad starring Sha’Carri Richardson, Caitlin Clark and Jordan Chiles in which everything women are told they can’t do in sports (challenge, inspire, sell tickets, win) becomes fuel for their greatest achievements.

In which Bad Bunny, the smiliest man on the planet, acts as a contrast to notoriously arch actors Aubrey Plaza and Michael Shannon. It’s a fun premise in which all three stars play their roles perfectly.

OK this one is a little out there. Uber Eats ad this year stars Matthew McConaughey as a conspiracy theorist who believes the Super Bowl was invented by Big Food to make big $$$. Part of his theory involves a scene in which this plan is shown to involve a board room of execs led by Charli xcx and Martha Stewart. Sure, why not?

“Cher is given a time machine” is a great pitch for a sketch and (another) Uber Eats ad ran with the idea. Unfortunately for Cher, her request to go back to the ’80s resulted in her winding up in the 1880s. Back then it was less hairspray and spandex and more witch trials, as Cher finds out to her horror.

Bud Light wants people to know that they’re a drink for the guys. Naturally, they turned to Post Malone and comedian Shane Gillis (plus a cameo by Peyton Manning) as a pair of dudes causing havoc in their suburban cul-de-sac. Don’t be surprised if this becomes a Netflix series by the end of the year.

Who wouldn’t want Doja Cat in their ad? Taco Bell is the answer. Their ad this year revolved around an attempt to put the ordinary person first with strictly zero celebrities allowed. Doja Cat’s attempts to sneak into the ad regardless show off her impressive comic chops.

Last time Shaboozy was involved in the NFL it was Christmas Day and he was performing with Beyoncé. Now he’s singing “What A Wonderful World” to promote Nerds gummy clusters. Life is a strange and confusing thing.
