2023 Super Bowl: The Best Commercials, Movie Trailers
Remember how we were inundated with crypto ads during last year’s Super Bowl? Oh, what a difference a year makes.

According to Deadline, even the ad game couldn’t avoid inflation, which is why FOX didn’t sell out its Super Bowl ad inventory until January. This year a 30-second ad will run $6-7 million. Of course, none of that matters on game day. What we’re really concerned about are the most talked about, most memorable, most entertaining ads of Super Bowl LVII.
