HOUSTON, TX – January 31, 2012 – Whether you’re a football enthusiast or not, you’re favorite part about Super Bowl Sunday is quite possibly the funny commercials. That, and the guacamole dip; And maybe the beer. But seriously, who could look away or refrain from laughing when that choir of bullfrogs chanted “Bud Light,” or mini Darth Vader used the force to start dad’s car?
Now, much to our delight, many brands are choosing to preview their Super Bowl ads on YouTube prior to the game, just to give us all a little taste of the funnies.

Originally airing 17 years ago, this ad has long held a soft spot in our hearts as one of the most memorable, funny, and cute Super Bowl ads ever.
