A 30-second ad during last night's Super Bowl cost $5.5 MILLION . . . or about $183,000 per second. So were any of them worth all that coin?
Many of them were released early this year to milk as much exposure as possible, which seems like the norm now. Here's a quick rundown of a few that caught my attention. (Scroll down to see the the ads via YouTube).

*Timothée Chalamet was great as Edward Scissorhands' son . . .Edgar Scissorhands. . . in a clever ad for Cadillac. Winona Ryder returned as her character from the movie, who's now Edgar's mom.
*Matthew McConaughey delivered a very "FLAT" performance for Doritos 3D chips. The ad had a weird-looking, 2-D version of Matthew hanging out with Mindy Kaling and Jimmy Kimmel while "I Want to Break Free" by Queen played.
* Mike Myers and Dana Carvey brought back their "Wayne's World" characters for Uber Eats, and tried to convince us to eat local with cute lookalike babies, a shot of "sexy Garth," and a cameo by Cardi B.
*Paramount had a lot of air time during the game, and plenty of star power. The game aired on CBS, and their "CBS All Access" app is becoming "Paramount-Plus" next month. So that's why. It featured a bunch of celebrities climbing the Paramount mountain. Patrick Stewart, Stephen Colbert, James Corden,Tom Selleck, Christine Baranski, and Jeff Probst all made appearances. And Beavis and Butt-Head's "giant crack" joke was fun too.
*In a spot for GM, Will Ferrell found out Norway puts out more electric cars per capita than the U.S. and vowed to "crush those lugers." Then he traveled to Sweden by mistake. Awkwafina and Kenan Thompson were also in it.
*Dan Levy popped in at the end of a fun M&Ms ad that had one of the best exchanges of the night: "Sorry I called you Karen" . . . "My name IS Karen" . . . "Sorry your name is Karen."

Oh and P.S. congrats to the Bucs and Tom Brady! :) Also I think Eric Church and Jazmine Sullivan did a fine rendition of our National Anthem!
