Michelob ULTRA -- "The Perfect Fit"

"Jurassic World" star Chris Pratt stars in this Michelob ULTRA spot, training for what he believes to be his biggest role yet: Michelob ULTRA's new spokesperson.

Michelob ULTRA -- "I Like Beer"

Pratt returns to Michelob ULTRA again in this commercial, joined by PGA athlete Brooks Koepka, World Surf League champion Kelly Slater and American long distance running record-holder Shalane Flanagan. Many extras join the stars in singing their rendition of Tom T. Hall's 1975 hit "I Like Beer."

"Do not attempt," the advertisement wisely states during a segment featuring singing underwater.

Skittles -- "Exclusive the Rainbow"

Skittles has created a 60-second spot for the Super Bowl that won't actually air during the Super Bowl. Instead, the advertisement that will be shown to one person, who's reaction will be shown in a livestream on Skittles' Facebook page.

Multiple teasers for the exclusive advertisement have been released, featuring film director and actor David Schwimmer in bizarre situations that theoretically could be clips from the private commercial. The possible teasers include a talking sandwich, a puppet controlling a puppet Schwimmer, a "Tron" inspired background with Schwimmer floating in zero-gravity and a bowl-cut sporting Schwimmer with glowing eyes shooting a laser beam from his mouth.

M&M's -- "Human"

Skittles' chocolate-based counterpart, M&M's will be a bit more traditional with their advertising this year. Red, the M&M voiced by Detroit native Billy West, wishes that he could become human after getting frustrated when people keep trying to eat him. His wish is granted and Red is transformed into a human played by actor, producer and director Danny DeVito. Red quickly finds out that being human isn't as easy as he assumed it would be.

Jack in the Box -- "#JACKvsMARTHA"

Feeling personally attacked by Martha Stewart, Jack in the Box's mascot Jack forces his way into the television studio to challenge her in an attempt to make her eat her words and also his fast-food chain's food.

PETA - "Redemption"

Actor and animal rights activist James Cromwell stars in this PETA advertisement as a priest who struggles to forgive an advertising executive who claims to have invented many of the marketing terms that makes factory farming easier to swallow.

"Stack flavors, make new ones," the 30-second spot recommends.

Doritos Blaze vs. Mtn Dew Ice

Mountain Dew describes this 60-second spot as "the rap battle to end all rap battles" and it's not hard to see why. Featuring the star power of Peter Dinklage and Morgan Freeman lipsyncing Busta Rhymes and Missy Elliot respectively (who also cameo), the commercial reinforces the great idea that serious people doing silly things is entertaining.

Bud Light -- "Ye Olde Pep Talk"

In part one of this commercial, a king struggles to inspire his subjects on the battlefield. Looking like a level out of the video game "Mount & Blade,"  the underdog army is motivated into battle when it's revealed the opposing army has all the Bud Light.

Fears are quickly squashed in the heat of battle when the Bud Knight arrives to save the day, but unfortunately, he has other plans besides helping the underdog army.

Avocados From Mexico -- "#GuacWorld"

Another "Saturday Night Live" alum shows his face with Chris Elliot staring in this commercial for Avocados From Mexico.
