For Pete's Sake

Here is a sneak peek of the ‘Bud Knight’ and other Super Bowl commercials

The biggest day in commercials is Sunday. Oh, and there is a football game being played, too.

Super Bowl LII will be shown on NBC and it will get the biggest television ratings of the year. Part of that reason is because of the commercials that will be shown during the game.

On Monday, while some people are talking about how the Eagles and Patriots played, others will discussing their favorite commercials.

Some of them have been released ahead of Sunday, and here is a sneak peek.

Last “Dilly Dilly” commercial

The king has led his people into battle, and it’s not going well. Then the Bud Knight arrives, and oh, yeah, the Bud Knight is gonna be the next big thing. (see video above)

Sprint’s sci-fi argument

What if artificial intelligence in, say, robots got to the point where they could tell you about the best cell-phone provider? Well, then Sprint’s stock is about to rise in the future.

Lip-sync battle

It’s Peter Dinklage and Doritos against Morgan Freeman and Mountain Dew in a lip-sync battle featuring Missy Elliott and Busta Rhymes.

“I Like Beer”

What the world really needed was a polka version of the song “I Like Beer,” right? Well, how about if a commercial for Michelob Ultra that included Chris Pratt, Shalane Flanagan, Kelly Slater and Brooks Koepka?

Alexa, what happened to your voice?

What if Amazon’s Alexa lost, um, her voice? Duh! Celebrities would take over the duties.
