Unpacking the phenomenon of Super Bowl commercials: A look at memorable ads, celebrity endorsements, and the power of storytelling

In recent years, Super Bowl commercials have become a cultural phenomenon, with advertisers spending millions of dollars for a coveted spot during the big game. These commercials often feature celebrities, humor, and emotional storytelling, and have the potential to go viral on social media.

Some of the most memorable Super Bowl commercials in recent years include Budweiser's "Lost Dog" ad, which tugged at viewers' heartstrings, and Doritos' "Ultrasound" commercial, which had a humorous twist ending. Other popular Super Bowl commercials have featured celebrities such as Betty White, Matthew McConaughey, and Cardi B.
