This year’s Super Bowl will be both sweet and side-splitting!
Thanks to Butterfinger and Snickers, that is. These two candy companies are busy building up hype for their Super Bowl 50 campaigns and if the Big Game ad teasers they just released are any indication, it looks like both commercials will have us laughing out loud. (Or at least letting out a little chuckle.)
Butterfinger: Defining Bolder Than Bold
In the latest Butterfinger Super Bowl commercial teaser, called “The Motorcross Jump,” we meet a crazy motorcross biker careening through the sky, making his way though an increasingly more complex series of activities. From pirannhas to selfies, this extremely bold athlete will stop at nothing to prove that he is #BolderThanBold. But apparently - he can be outdone. Because the teaser ends with a promise that, come Super Bowl Sunday, we’ll be introduced to yet another bolder than bolder than bolder adventure…
This isn’t the only teaser that Butterfinger has sent our way. Earlier this week, they released this hysterical video starring Terrell Owens and Billy Eichner. The comic duo take to the streets of New York with some #BolderThanBold moves!
Snickers: Resurrecting Marilyn Monroe in Honor of the Super Bowl’s 50th
On January 26th, Snickers released a teaser for their Super B0wl 50 ad and it stars none other than Marilyn Monroe. In honor of the 50th anniversary of the Super Bowl, she has a very special message to share. Hint: It’s not unlike a message she once shared with JFK. Except this time, something’s a bit off. (We think she might be a bit hungry…)
At first glance, this teaser leaves us wondering if Snickers is going with sexy rather than humor to sell their sweet candy this year, but we have a hunch that the final Super Bowl ad will be funny in the end. After all, that guy on stage looks nothing like Marilyn. In fact, he looks more like Betty White in the Snickers Super Bowl ad from back in 2011.
Other than the teaser, Snickers has confirmed that their Super Bowl 50 commercial will stick to the successful campaign of “You’re not you when you’re hungry.” After winning the Super Clio award in Super Bowl 2015 with a hysterical ad that starred Danny Trejo and Steve Buscemi, they have a hard act to follow.
