2016 Super Bowl ads: All the commercials you can watch before the big game – Syracuse.com
Ready for the 2016 Ad Blitz? Many of this year’s Super Bowl commercials are already available online, featuring celebrities, wiener dogs, PSAs and fun ties to Upstate New York (hello Abby Wambach, Death Wish Coffee and Alec Baldwin).
Super Bowl 50 kicks off at 6:30 p.m. on CBS Sunday. Besides football and the halftime show (Coldplay, Beyonce and Bruno Mars?), all eyes will be on the advertising to see which brands can be the funniest, cleverest or coolest. It’ll also be interesting to see which spots fall flat, wasting the $5 million it costs for 30 seconds of air time during the big game between the Denver Broncos and the Carolina Panthers.
