Transcript
00:00Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the most memorable Super Bowl
00:13commercials of 2026. We take the pain out of taxes, remember? Let's go again, just smile,
00:19be happy. I don't do happy. Number 10. Alexa Plus, Amazon.
00:25Oh, what is that? Our new Alexa Plus. She's not living here. That is full-on AI. One minute we're all buddy-buddies,
00:32then the next minute she's trying to kill us. Now, Chris, how exactly would I do that?
00:36Chris Hemsworth doesn't frighten easily. According to the Super Bowl commercial, he snatches snakes
00:41during his spare time. Yet when his wife, model and actress Elsa Pataki, installs Alexa Plus,
00:47the Thor actor is naturally skeptical. To be fair, Hemsworth fought Ultron, so he has a good reason.
00:54Maybe I'm taking out the trash. The door's jammed. Take a closer look while I pull up a tutorial.
00:58A little to the left.
01:04He's also seen his fair share of sci-fi horror films, listing the various ways Alexa could try
01:09to murder him, be it via garage door beheading, pool cover drowning, or bear delivery. Honestly,
01:14these all sound like better ideas than some of the product placement heavy movies that Amazon
01:19has been churning out as of late. You're gonna die when you see what I got you.
01:24Of course, Chris warms up to his new AI assistant. But we'd rather watch an evil Alexa movie than
01:372025's War of the Worlds. You seem tense, Chris. How about I book you a massage? And a cinnamon scrub?
01:44What, you can do that? I do love a cinnamon scrub.
01:47Number 9. Unavailable. Squarespace.
01:54No!
02:00When we heard Emma Stone and Yorgos Lanthimos were making a Super Bowl commercial,
02:05we feared they'd gone, well, commercial. From the opening shot of this black and white
02:10Squarespace ad, though, it is clear that we're in store for another trip.
02:14The Oscar-winning actress attempts to register a website in her name,
02:18only to repeatedly find the domain taken. With every failed attempt, she destroys another laptop.
02:24It's not like she's strapped for cash, living in a mansion on an isolated island.
02:28That's just one of the many surreal choices, from the constant close-ups to the delivery girl
02:33on roller skates. With the essence of an arthouse horror film, it's pure Lanthimos.
02:37And yes, emmastone.com is now live. And it is every bit as weird as the ad.
02:43I have now registered emmastone.com, emmastone.news, emmastone.world, emmastone.condos,
02:52emmastone.life, emmastone.cool, and many, many more. Please, let my story be a lesson to everyone.
03:01Number 8. Pringle Leo. Pringles.
03:03I'm so tired of boys. I need a man.
03:06Psst. Build him.
03:09With his bushy mustache that ironically resembles two chips,
03:13the Pringles man is unquestionably the most alluring face in the snack aisle.
03:16Alas, he's but a mascot who doesn't exist in the real world. But could he?
03:21Guarda que luna. Guarda que mare.
03:28Da questa notte. Senza te do pro restare.
03:32Looking for her perfect man, Sabrina Carpenter finds her match in some tubes of Pringles.
03:39Living up to the Carpenter part of her name, she constructs a man out of the stackable chips,
03:43dubbing him Pringle Leo.
03:45It's love at first bite, but Carpenter isn't the only one who wants a taste of her new bow.
03:49Carpenter finds that Pringle Leo belongs to the masses.
03:58With or without the public's help, Carpenter was bound to eat her man up eventually.
04:02At least he left her with a satisfied look.
04:05Once you pop, the pop don't stop.
04:07Number 7. The More You Bosch.
04:10Bosch.
04:10I'm just a guy.
04:11But when I use my Bosch appliances, I feel like more than just a guy.
04:16At first glance, this may seem like an ordinary Super Bowl ad centered on an ordinary guy.
04:21The instant he makes contact with a Bosch refrigerator, though, he becomes so much more than just a guy.
04:27He unleashes his inner Fieri.
04:28From the bling, to the goatee, to the bleached-out hair that screams Flavortown.
04:33Seeing Guy Fieri morph from a plaid-shirted, Dockers-wearing average Joe to his usual colorful self,
04:38viewers were in disbelief.
04:40Some even believed that the transformation was achieved with AI.
04:44While special effects played a role, Bosch claims that no AI was used in changing Fieri from just a guy to the guy we know and love.
04:51We don't know about you, but we never want to see Guy without his Bosch appliances again.
04:56Guy with phenomenal appliances.
04:58And battle for battle duels.
05:00Thought you only spoke French.
05:01The more you Bosch, the more you feel like a...
05:04Bosch.
05:05Number 6. Bananas. Instacart.
05:08Ben Stiller, Benson Boone, and 80s rock.
05:16It's an odd combination, but then again, Instacart lets you choose your bananas is an odd slogan.
05:21The fact that so much about this Spike Jonze-directed commercial is out of sync is part of what makes it so humorous.
05:27Stiller and Boone play an Italian pop duo whose performance begins to unpeel due to sibling rivalry.
05:32Coming from a music background, Boone is naturally the more seasoned of the two.
05:37He even does his own flips.
05:39That's why I wanted to be a part of this commercial, to see Benson Boone do his flips in person.
05:45Seeing him do these flips, did it make you want to at all get in on the action even a little bit?
05:50Um, not at all.
05:51Not at all?
05:52No.
05:52Stiller's Gary is determined to one-up his bro.
05:55If he can just do a flip, Gary will prove that he was Papa's favorite.
05:59Gary makes three attempts, falling further each time.
06:03Gary can't stick a landing, but this commercial does.
06:06Sweet Gary!
06:11Number 5.
06:14America needs neighbors like you.
06:16Rocket and Redfin.
06:17Between her surprise appearance during Bad Bunny's halftime show and this Rocket Company's ad,
06:29Lady Gaga sent a message we should all take to heart.
06:32The importance of being a good neighbor.
06:34Putting a pop spin on the nostalgic tune that Mr. Rogers raised generations on,
06:38Gaga's vocals set a tone for a touching and timely commercial that sees two girls moving to a new neighborhood with their families.
06:44Would you be one?
06:46Stop.
06:47Could you be one?
06:49Big storm coming in.
06:51I have always wanted to have a neighbor just like you.
06:56Where are you?
06:57There are obvious differences between them, but looking beyond the surface,
07:01the two have more in common than they realize.
07:04It isn't until one girl finds the other's missing dog that strangers become neighbors and perhaps more.
07:09It's a reminder that instead of shutting others out,
07:12we should be asking,
07:13Won't you be my neighbor?
07:15Won't you be my neighbor?
07:17Thank you so much.
07:19Please, won't you be my neighbor?
07:25Number 4.
07:26Will Shatt, Raisin Bran.
07:28Will Shatt here, bringing fiber to the masses with Kellogg's Raisin Bran.
07:33We all know William Shatner as Captain Kirk from Star Trek.
07:36We all know William Shatner as Captain Kirk from Star Trek, although this ad also calls to mind his short-lived sitcom, Bleep My Dad Says.
07:41The commercial challenges the censors from the get-go, as the actor announces himself as the Raisin Bran ambassador with a shortened nickname, Will Shatt.
07:57Will Shatt?
07:58The Kellogg's cereal being high in fiber, it doesn't take long for the viewer to connect the dots.
08:07Will Shatt has made it his duty to deliver fiber where it's needed most, along the way.
08:12He even encounters a Shih Tzu named Will.
08:15Is that Dr. Shih Tzu?
08:16Perfect.
08:18The spot manages to say exactly what we're thinking without actually saying it.
08:22It boldly goes where no Super Bowl ad has gone before, raising the bar for poop puns.
08:28We'll shat on the car!
08:30Oh!
08:30Yes!
08:32Number 3.
08:33The Choice.
08:34Pepsi.
08:39For decades, we've associated animated polar bears with Coca-Cola.
08:44Of course, it's not as if Coke can copyright an entire species.
08:48This allowed Pepsi to feature polar bears in this Taika Waititi ad, which revisits the long-standing Cola Wars.
08:53I want to break free!
08:55The Super Bowl once again serves as a battleground, but this ad felt especially personal with a polar bear switching teams.
09:08Following a blind taste test, the bear questions everything, even seeking help from Dr. Waititi.
09:14And during an identity crisis, the bear comes to accept his new favorite soda along with his mate.
09:19When they're caught on camera at the big game, the bears choose not to hide their choice, breaking free in front of millions.
09:25Oh!
09:26I want to break free!
09:31A clever ad that will surely cause a meltdown at Coke.
09:35This can be heavy.
09:37Mmm.
09:38Number 2.
09:39Good Will Dunkin'
09:40Dunkin' Donuts.
09:41Will is loyal.
09:43Lawyer.
09:44Will is kind.
09:45Will is special.
09:48Will's got math on the mind.
09:49Before Good Will Hunting was an Oscar-winning film, it was a sitcom.
09:54Well, not really, but the premise makes for a star-studded Dunkin' Donuts commercial.
09:58Although Matt Damon isn't present this time,
10:00Ben Affleck is back to fill the role of Will Hunting.
10:03The supporting cast includes a who's who of late 80s and 90s sitcom stars.
10:07Hey, kid, if you're still single doing this Boston shtick
10:11and working for Dunkin' when you're 50, I'm gonna be very disappointed.
10:15Isn't that your girlfriend?
10:17Jason Alexander brings that Costanza energy, but with more hair.
10:23Matt LeBlanc is doing his Joey shtick.
10:25Jasmine Guy enters a very different world.
10:28Alfonso Ribeiro finds himself in a most unusual situation.
10:31Jaleel White is looking more Stefan than Urkel.
10:34And Ted Danson ignites a big cheer.
10:37Ben also trades one Jennifer for another.
10:39Although she's found a Brady-er donut.
10:41They were on a break anyway.
10:43You like donuts?
10:44Yeah.
10:45Well, this is my new boyfriend.
10:47How you like these nuts?
10:49I'm Tom.
10:51Before we unveil our top pick, here are some honorable mentions.
10:55Backstory, Levi's.
10:57Are we the only ones who thought this was a Toy Story 5 ad at first?
11:08Hungry for the truth, Uber Eats.
11:10Matthew McConaughey harasses Bradley Cooper with some help from Parker Posey.
11:14Take a closer look, Mr. Bradley.
11:16Tell me, what do you see?
11:18Pro Football Hall of Fame?
11:19It's a juicer.
11:20What?
11:22The Hall of Fame's a juicer, Bradley.
11:24Make it out!
11:25It's all food, Bradley!
11:27Food.
11:27No.
11:28Food.
11:28No.
11:28Food.
11:28No.
11:29Food.
11:29No!
11:30Food!
11:31Enough!
11:31Stop living on a prayer.
11:34State Farm.
11:35Danny McBride and Keegan-Michael Key are bad neighbors, but a solid 80s cover band duo.
11:39Whoa!
11:41We're halfway there!
11:44Whoa!
11:45Come here, man.
11:46You should have gone with State Farm.
11:51Tell Me Why.
11:52T-Mobile.
11:53Backstreet's back.
11:54And so is, to a lesser extent, MGK.
11:57Hit the fans.
11:58Tell me why.
11:59It's America's best network.
12:01Tell me why.
12:02Netflix included in lots of birds.
12:05Keg.
12:06Bud Light.
12:07A wedding party goes down the hill to fetch a keg of bud.
12:10And I, I will always love you.
12:20I will always.

12:40Number 1.
12:41Jurassic Park.
12:43Works.
12:43Xfinity.
12:47What'd I touch?
12:48You don't touch anything.
12:49We're, we're stuck.
12:51What if Jurassic Park opened without any hiccups?
12:54Xfinity finds a way in another ad from director Taika Waititi.
12:58At first, it seems this commercial will mainly rely on footage from the 1993 classic.
13:02Once Xfinity's tech support gets the park back up and running, though, several more iconic
13:07moments are recreated, albeit with a twist.
13:09By the way, you should have plugged this in.
13:17I think we're back in business.
13:19Guys, that could have been bad.
13:21A de-aged Sam Neill, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum reprised their iconic roles for a weekend
13:26of selfies with the T-Rex, jogging alongside Gallimimus and chowing down on piles of shrimp.
13:32Just as Dr. Grant praises John Hammond's creation, the commercial has our endorsement.
13:36This is the legacy sequel we deserve.
13:45Speaking of which, can Xfinity do anything about Snickers wrappers getting stuck indoors?
13:49Which Super Bowl ad gets your endorsement?
13:58Let us know in the comments.
14:00We'll see you soon.
