Super Bowl ad

Costly game spot

A Super Bowl ad is a television commercial aired during the Super Bowl, the championship game of American professional football.

These ads command the highest prices in television advertising—often millions of dollars for thirty seconds—because of the massive viewership.

Companies debut ambitious, cinematic spots hoping to generate buzz: Did you see that Super Bowl ad with the talking dog?

The term extends to online discussion of these commercials as cultural events in themselves.
