At least 115 million people will watch Super Bowl XLVIII this year. Thirty-second commercial spots during the game are being sold for an average of $4.0 million; with some as much as $4.5 million. The favorites are all back including Doritos, Budweiser, GoDaddy, and Priceline. There will be a slew of car commercials, clever previews for upcoming movies, and FOX will air the first television spot for “24: Live Another Day” (Jack’s Back!) with Kiefer Sutherland (Jack Bauer) and Mary Lynn Rajskub (Chloe).

Will the commercials for the Super Bowl live up to the hype? We’ll start with a really great rendition of our National Anthem…

Here’s a few more of the 2014 Super Bowl commercials; all fun and guaranteed to make you smile.

More Super Bowl commercials and Weekend Links below the fold!

I bawled through this next one. If only all our troops received this kind of homecoming…

And finally, my favorite, the Tim Tebow ad. Some people are saying they never knew how hot he was until they saw him in this ad. Uh seriously?!? I sure did.

Game on. Go Seahawks!
