The 5 Funniest Super Bowl Commercials of All Time

The Super Bowl isn’t just about football—it’s an all-out entertainment spectacle. Some of us (okay, a lot of us) tune in just for the commercials. Every year, brands drop millions of dollars to grab our attention, make us laugh, and, most importantly, get us talking. And let’s be honest, some of these ads are funnier than the halftime show wardrobe malfunctions we still can’t forget.

Over the years, we’ve seen some absolute gems—commercials that are so funny that they have become part of pop culture history. So, grab some snacks (preferably ones you’re willing to share, unlike our Doritos-loving friend below), and let’s take a hilarious trip down memory lane with the five funniest Super Bowl commercials of all time.

Doritos – "Crash the Super Bowl" (2010)

Ah, Doritos. Not only are they delicious, but they’ve also consistently blessed us with some of the funniest Super Bowl commercials ever. In 2010, they launched a fan-made ad called Crash the Super Bowl, which did not disappoint.

Picture this: a smooth-talking guy rolls up to his date’s house, trying to charm her while snacking on a bag of Doritos. But before he can even think about stealing a chip, her tiny but terrifying son smacks him across the face and delivers the now-iconic line: “Keep your hands off my mama. Keep your hands off my Doritos.”

It was pure comedic perfection. The slap? 10/10 execution. The kid’s dead-serious expression? Oscar-worthy. It was so funny and relatable that it cemented itself as one of the best Super Bowl ads ever. Because let’s be honest—when it comes to snacks, we all turn into that kid.

Budweiser – "Wassup!" (1999)

If you were around in 1999, you couldn’t escape this one. It was everywhere. The ad featured many friends answering their phones with an over-the-top, exaggerated, “Wassssssuuuuuuup?!” It started as a simple greeting and quickly became a full-blown, scream-at-the-top-of-your-lungs cultural phenomenon.

Why was it so funny? It could be because it perfectly captured how we talk to our friends. The joke wasn’t just in the ad—it became an inside joke among millions. And just when we thought we had moved on, Budweiser brought it back for a nostalgic 2020 version, proving that “Wassup” will never truly die.

Snickers – "You’re Not You When You’re Hungry" (2010)

Snickers ads are always top-tier, but when they got Betty White involved? Instant classic.

In this 2010 Super Bowl ad, a group of guys is playing a muddy backyard football game, but one of them just isn’t keeping up. He keeps getting tackled, and worse—he’s playing like a sweet little old lady. Oh wait, he actually is a sweet little old lady. Betty White, to be exact.

After taking another brutal hit, Betty gets up and delivers the hilarious line, “That’s not what your girlfriend said.” Gold. Absolute gold.

Then, someone hands her a Snickers bar, and boom—she transforms back into a young, athletic dude. The ad was not only hilarious but also gave us a slogan that still gets used today whenever someone’s in a bad mood.

E*Trade – "Talking Baby" (2008)

Talking babies are never not funny. But a talking baby giving investment advice while casually sipping a bottle of milk? That’s next-level comedy.

In this E*Trade Super Bowl ad, we meet a baby who’s casually trading stocks from his high chair. His voice is calm, he’s totally unfazed, and the best part? He doesn’t understand why everyone finds it creepy. “I underestimated the creepiness,” he deadpans.

This little stock-trading genius became so popular that he appeared in multiple Super Bowl ads after that. Who knew investing could be this entertaining? Too bad most of us still have no idea how stocks actually work.

Old Spice – "The Man Your Man Could Smell Like" (2010)

Old Spice was once your grandpa’s cologne of choice, but in 2010, they flipped the script with one of the most bizarrely hilarious Super Bowl commercials of all time.

Enter Isaiah Mustafa, a ridiculously confident, towel-wrapped man who spoke directly to the audience with unshakable charm. “Hello, ladies,” he says, before launching into an insane rapid-fire monologue about how your man could smell like him—if only he used Old Spice.

Within 30 seconds, he seamlessly transitions from a bathroom to a boat to a horse, all while delivering a straight-faced performance that had us crying with laughter. And just like that, Old Spice went from “something your dad wears” to one of the most talked-about brands of the year.

Oh, and in case you forgot: he was on a horse.

Honorable Mentions

Not every hilarious ad could make the top five, but these deserve a special shoutout:

• Pepsi – "Cindy Crawford" (1992) – Maybe not the funniest, but definitely iconic.

• Tide – "It’s a Tide Ad" (2018) – A brilliant, mind-bending commercial that made us question if every Super Bowl ad was secretly a Tide ad.

• Volkswagen – "The Force" (2011) – A little kid dressed as Darth Vader tries (and fails) to use The Force—until his dad secretly makes the magic happen with the car’s remote start. Cute, funny, unforgettable.

Final Thoughts

Super Bowl commercials are more than just ads. They’re mini pop culture moments that live on long after the game is over. The funniest ones? They become catchphrases, inside jokes, and sometimes, they even shape the way we talk (Wassup!, anyone?).

From Betty White getting tackled to a talking baby predicting the stock market, these ads gave us some of the best laughs we’ve ever had on Super Bowl Sunday. And the best part? They’re only getting funnier.

So, what do you think? Which Super Bowl commercial had you rolling on the floor laughing? Let’s hear your favorites!
