In this day and age, you don't have to wait for Super Bowl Sunday to see some of the commercials. Indeed, companies have already started to debut the ads that will air during the big game on Sunday. So, if you're watching the Super Bowl solely for the commercials, you don't really, well, have to watch the Super Bowl. You can finally start Making a Murderer or something instead. However, if you do care about the matchup between the Carolina Panthers and the Denver Broncos, you can now use commercial breaks as you would while watching any other television program — scouring Twitter for clever comments or actually taking bathroom breaks. (Just don't miss the halftime show. Remember, Beyoncé is going to be there.)
This year's Super Bowl commercials are already eliciting a wide range of emotions. There are the inspirational ones that make you forget you're supposed to buy a product. There are the silly ones that just make you giggle. Still no Budweiser puppy masterpieces thus far.
Here we're compiling the best. We will continue updating this slideshow as more roll in. The Super Bowl airs February 7 on CBS at 6:30 p.m. EST.
Heinz
OH MY GOD, THESE MAJESTIC DACHSHUNDS. Sure, maybe it's a little strange that these cute little dogs are supposed to represent food, but who cares? Look at their little legs go. Points for cuteness, Heinz.
T-Mobile
First off, this one features Drake doing his "Hotline Bling" dad dance, which is enough to win our approval. Add Drake goofily responding to notes from suits? Yeah, we're sold.
Hyundai
Hyundai wants you to imagine a world full of Ryan Reynoldses. Are your ovaries overwhelmed yet? Or have you still not forgiven him for Green Lantern?
Mini
Any commercial featuring A+ badasses Serena Williams and Abby Wambach has my vote.
Avocados From Mexico
Guacamole is so good that I hope it is one of the few things that outlast human civilization. Of the cast of Happy Days, I wouldn't have necessarily picked Chachi to stand the test of time.
Shock Top
Your mileage may vary on this one depending on your tolerance for T.J. Miller. Of course, if you're not a fan, you could always pretend you're the orange on the Shock Top tap hurling animosity his way.
Budweiser
You know drunk driving is stupid. I know drunk driving is stupid. But why not let Helen Mirren tell you why it's stupid?
Apartments.com
Jeff Goldblum sings The Jeffersons theme song while literally moving on up the side of a building. George and Weezy are George Washington and Lil Wayne. This is an inspired bit of absurdity.
Bud Light
Amy Schumer and Seth Rogen get political for Bud Light. Surprise appearances from Ant-Man stars Paul Rudd and Michael Peña are what really make the commercial sing. Everyone does love Rudd, and Peña is a bona fide scene stealer.
Snickers
It's not as good as last year's Brady Bunch-themed Snickers commercial, but Willem Dafoe is a strange enough actor that this bizarrely works. Plus, bonus Eugene Levy!
Squarespace
This makes us sad that Key & Peele is over, but happy that Key and Peele are still playing crazy characters. These guys will be providing commentary for the game, too.
Mountain Dew
Okay, this one maybe doesn't qualify as "best," but it's definitely bizarre and unsettling.
Prius
There's a dopey pleasantness to this ballad about being a square.
Audi
Audi wants to tug at your heartstrings and make you miss David Bowie with its tale of a former astronaut who gets to relive his youth thanks to a cool car.
Kia
Nice wordplay there, Kia. Walk-in closet. Walken closet. Get it?
Budweiser USA
Budweiser tries to establish itself as a beer of the people here, and then says it's "not for everyone."
Like what you see? How about some more R29 goodness, right here?
