Companies spend months planning for the ridiculously priced 30 seconds of air time during the Super Bowl. As we wait for the 2017 game and commercials, here are some of the best from years past:

Coca-Cola: “Mean Joe Green”

A kid stops defensive tackle Mean Joe Green as he limps towards the locker room and offers him a Coke. Green takes the Coke and offers the kid his jersey in return.

McDonald’s: “H-O-R-S-E”

Larry Bird and Michael Jordan play a game of H-O-R-S-E for a Big Mac.

E-Trade: “Monkey”

A monkey and two people tap their feet to music in a garage. Animals and advertising are always great.

Budweiser: “Clydesdales”

Clydesdales play football on the range. A zebra plays the referee.

Reebok: “Office Linebacker”

The boss hires a linebacker to bring order to the office. When someone gets up from their desk to get coffee, Terry Tate tackles them at full speed.

CareerBuilder.com: “Monkey Business”

This commercial shows us what happens when a monkey runs a company.

Snickers and Betty White

After Betty White gets tackled into the mud she complains to a guy in his 20’s that “(He’s) been riding (her) all day.”

Volkswagen: “The Force”

A kid dressed as Darth Vader tries to use the force on his dog and his sister’s doll. He then tries to start the car and when it works, he looks startled and amazed by his powers.

Chrysler: "Half Time In America"

Clint Eastwood reminds us that in a time of division and blame, we have to rally behind what is right. Fitting.

Samsung: "The Next Big Thing"

It's a battle when Paul Rudd and Seth Rogen run into each other while waiting to reveal Samsung's next big thing but things don't go according to plan.

Dorit os: "Time Machine"

Mr. Smith had doubts about time travel, but what can go wrong when a time travel machine is run on Doritos?

Mountain Dew: "Puppy Monkey Baby"

So weird you have to laugh. The ad was for the infamous energy drink, but it will be remembered by three words.

13 Times April Ludgate Perfectly Explained College

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

355

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

Being A Senior: The Best And Worst Of It

Graduation is coming.

Loyola University Chicago

256

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.
