The Ads of Super Bowl LIII
See all the teasers and full spots here
Welcome to Muse’s coverage of the ads of Super Bowl LIII.
We’re going to keep this simple.
1) Below, see all the Super Bowl LIII ads as they are released, as well as the teasers. These will be posted with the most recent at the top and will be updated daily.
2) Check out our big feature on past classic Super Bowl ads. We had more than 100 advertising veterans write about their favorite spots—in 53 words or less, in honor of Super Bowl 53.
3) On Monday, Feb. 4, we’ll have our Super Clio jury of top creative executives pick the best spot of the game. So, stay tuned for that.
In the meantime, see all this year’s ads and teasers here:

Agency: Mother New York

• Michelob Ultra, “Robot”
Agency: FCB Chicago
• Yellow Tail, “Tastes Like Happy”
Agency: The BAM Connection
This 0:30 will run regionally, but will reach about 90 percent of Super Bowl viewers—so it’s just shy of a national spot. It features two entirely fan-produced video segments, which were selected from fan submissions.
• Coca-Cola, “A Coke Is a Coke”
Agency: Wieden + Kennedy Portland
This is technically not a Super Bowl commercial, as it will run right before kickoff, not during the game itself. But it is Coke’s only spot around the game this year. It was inspired by the following quote from Andy Warhol:
What’s great about this country is that America started the tradition where the richest consumers buy essentially the same things as the poorest. You can be watching TV and see Coca-Cola, and you know that the president drinks Coke, Liz Taylor drinks Coke, and just think, you can drink Coke, too. A Coke is a Coke and no amount of money can get you a better Coke than the one the bum on the corner is drinking. All the Cokes are the same and all the Cokes are good. Liz Taylor knows it, the president knows it, the bum knows it, and you know it.
• BON & VIV Spiked Seltzer, “The Pitch”
Agency: Bullish

• Amazon, “Ask Alexa, what is the Amazon Beta Testing Program”
• Expensify, “2 Chainz X Adam Scott – Expensify This”
Agency: JohnXHannes New York
Expensify dropped a music video from 2 Chainz featuring Adam Scott—it’s the world’s first music video you can expense. 2 Chainz and Adam will also both be featured in the brand’s upcoming Super Bowl ad, which will also have a prize fans can “expense.”
• Stella Artois
Jeff Bridges is apparently resurrecting The Dude from The Big Lebowski for a Super Bowl commercial. No other details except Jeff’s tweet are available yet.
