While the Chiefs and Eagles battled it out on the field, there’s always another battle on Super Bowl night — which commercials came out on top.

Arguably, one of the most anticipated commercials was the Dunkin’ ad starring Ben Affleck. It was talked about for weeks ahead of the big night after the actor was seen working in a Boston drive-thru.
It wasn’t the only commercial giving Boston some love. Sam Adams also played into the Boston stereotypes and famous accent.
Some of the best ads worked because of nostalgia — like T-Mobile’s “Grease”-inspired ad, Workday’s ad featuring 80s rock stars and the Rakuten “Clueless” parody.
Parodies are often a winning strategy for Super Bowl ads, like PopCorners’ “Breaking Bad” ad and Michelob Ultra’s take on “Caddy Shack.”
Many popular Super Bowl commercials feature celebrities poking a little fun at themselves, like the T-Mobile ad featuring Bradley Cooper and his mom or Sylvester Stallone being, well, Sylvester Stallone.
