The Super Bowl broadcast is notorious for drawing a large contingent of non-football fans who watch for the commercials and the half-time show.

The Super Bowl is the only event where you can find 1/3 of America watching it, including many who are not into sports but dragged by loved ones to a Super Bowl party, so advertisers have a long history of trying to come up with the most flashy, catchy, outlandish, high production ads they can produce in the hopes that it sticks in the audience’s mind and gets people talking about it so they will tell the other 2/3 of America about talking frogs or whatever the hot new thing is. Each year there are whole articles out there about “this year’s best Super Bowl ads”.

The superbowl is the one of the only times commercials are entertaining in their own right. The advertisers pay a huge amount of money to get that spot so the put a massive amount of effort to make them.
That being said you don’t gotta watch for the commercials. You can just watch them online later… If you want.
