- Samsung Mobile rolls out an all-star cast for it's "Big Pitch" ad in the fourth quarter. Paul Rudd and Seth Rogen star, with "Iron Man" director Jon Favreau behind the camera. Here's a teaser, with a little meta commentary of the vocabulary prohibitions of Super Bowl advertising:
- Audi's first-quarter "Prom" commercial features an ending that was voted on by viewers in an online poll:
- The Kia Sorento takes the special-effects route, with a dad coming up with a space fantasy version of where babies come from:
- Speaking of special effects, Toyota has this cinematic spot starring Kaley Cuoco as a genie granting a family's wishes, to the tune of Skee-Lo's "I Wish":
- Coca-Cola mashes up movie genres in "The Chase." Fans will vote on who they want to win the race, with the winning commercial airing after the game.
- Hyundai assembles the greatest playground football team ever:
- Volkswagen has already courted controversy with this Jamaican-accented spot scheduled for the second quarter:
- Budweiser aims for the tear ducts with a baby horse, Fleetwood Mac and an emotional reunion (it's nothing, I just got a little salsa in my eye):
- Meanwhile, Taco Bell goes for fun-loving (and fun.-loving) old folks:
- 49ers fans will love this Sketchers ad (wait for it . . . ):
- Mercedes-Benz rolls out Willem Dafoe, Usher and Kate Upton in this clever spot, and the early favorite for "Commercial Featuring the Creepiest Fingernails":
- And finally, Cars.com adds a melodramatic spin on the ol' Candid Camera prank. The last line's a great kicker, too:
