The Super Bowl is famous not just for the game but for the commercials that air during it. Every year, brands compete to create ads that grab attention, entertain, and sometimes even steal the show. Among these, some commercials stand out for making us laugh out loud. Humour is a powerful tool in advertising, and the Super Bowl is the perfect stage for it. Here, we share five of the funniest Super Bowl commercials that had us rolling with laughter. What's your favourite Ad?

1. Reebok: "Terry Tate, Office Linebacker" (2003)

Widely considered the "GOAT" of funny ads. Reebok hired "Terrible" Terry Tate to tackle office employees who forgot to refill the coffee or didn't use a cover sheet on their TPS reports.

Why it works: The sheer violence of a professional linebacker levelling a guy in a cubicle, followed by Terry's intense trash talk ("You know you can't bring that weak-ass soul food into my kitchen!"), never gets old.

2. Bud Light: "Swear Jar" (2010)

A workplace classic that leaned into "irreverent bro humour."

The Plot: An office starts a "swear jar," where employees pay a dollar each time they use a curse word. However, they decide to use the money to buy Bud Light.
The Twist: The office descends into absolute potty-mouthed chaos as everyone intentionally swears at the top of their lungs to fill the jar faster for the beer.

3. Old Spice's "The Man Your Man Could Smell Like" (2010)

This commercial became an instant classic thanks to its witty script and the charismatic performance of Isaiah Mustafa. The ad's rapid-fire humour, unexpected twists, and confident delivery made it one of the funniest and most talked-about commercials in Super Bowl history.

The clever use of absurd scenarios keeps viewers engaged and laughing.
The direct address to the audience creates a personal and humorous connection.
It set a new standard for humour in advertising with its unique style.

4. Mountain Dew: "PuppyMonkeyBaby" (2016)

This is the gold standard for "weird-funny." To promote a drink that was a three-part mashup (dew, juice, caffeine), they created a creature that was a mashup of the three most popular Super Bowl tropes: a puppy, a monkey, and a baby.

The Vibe: Fever dream. It just repeats "PuppyMonkeyBaby" while dancing in a living room. You'll either love it or need to sleep with the lights on.

5. Tide’s “It’s a Tide Ad” (2018)

Tide took a clever approach by creating "It looks like" typical Super Bowl commercials, but reveal themselves as Tide ads because the clothes are clean. The humour lies in the unexpected twist and the way the ads poke fun at common advertising tropes.

The surprise factor keeps viewers guessing and laughing.
The ads cleverly parody other commercial styles.
It’s a smart use of humour that also highlights the product's key benefits. Are our picks the best? What ad would you choose?
