To get in the right mood, here are the five greatest Super Bowl franchise commercials of all time, thanks to Blue MauMau, Spike TV and YouTube. Click the arrow to see the commercial.
Honorable Mention: The Holiday Inn Remake Commercial
This risque Holiday Inn commercial was shown just once before being pulled. Prefacing a $1 billion upgrade to the brand, the image wasn't quite family friendly enough. Remember Bob?
#5. The Budweiser Clydesdale Joining Donkey
Aired in January 2004, a little donkey dreams of one day being able to run side by side with the world famous Budweiser Clydesdale team.
#4. The H&R Block Willie Nelson Commercial
Remember Willie Nelson not paying his taxes and the IRS catching up to him? H&R Block does.
#3. The Miller Lite Catfight Commercial, Uncensored
Ad tycoon David Ogilvy once said, "Sex sells." Product franchisor Miller takes notice of that rule, with some mud and a Miller Lite thrown in for good measure.
#2. The McDonald's Jordan vs. Bird Commercial
From the largest business format franchise chain in the world comes this commercial of two greats of basketball competing in a friendly game of H-O-R-S-E.
#1. The Coke Mean Joe Greene Commercial
Besides being the all-time most memorable Superbowl commercial, this ad seems very appropriate for today's match of football franchise titans the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers. This ad starring Steelers' defensive back Charles "Mean Joe" Greene is from way back in 1979.
