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.

Doritos: "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.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
