    NEW YORK (AP) --

    The Super Bowl is advertising's biggest, glitziest stage.

    Big name advertisers from Netflix to Google are paying as much as $7 million for a 30-second spot during the big game on Sunday, in order to capture the attention of the roughly 100 million viewers who tune in each year.

    In order to get as much of a return on investment for those millions, most advertisers release their ads in the days ahead of the big game to get the most publicity for their spots. In the ads released so far, John Travolta and "Scrubs" stars Donald Faison and Zach Braff sing a T-Mobile themed version of "Summer Nights" from "Grease," Adam Driver creates multiple versions of himself for Squarespace, and Alicia Silverstone reprises her "Clueless" character for online shopping site Rakuten.

    AVOCADOS FROM MEXICO
    Anna Faris stars as Eve, who eats an avocado in the garden of Eden. Flash forward to the present day, when no one is ashamed of nudity and everyone is naked, including the Statue of Liberty.

    BOOKING.COM
    Actress Melissa McCarthy stars in a musical number for the travel site about her desire to go on a trip "somewhere, anywhere."

    BUD LIGHT
    Actor Miles Teller ("Top Gun: Maverick") and his wife Keleigh Sperry Teller dance to customer service hold music while drinking a Bud Light.

    BUDWEISER
    In a regional ad, a diverse group of people share a six-pack of Budweiser — a voiceover by Kevin Bacon showcases the "six degrees of Bud." Although he's not shown, the ad is a nod to the "Six degrees of Kevin Bacon" meme — the idea that anyone in the entertainment business can be linked to Kevin Bacon in six connections.

    BUSCH LIGHT
    A mountain man talk talks about surviving the outdoors in an ad that stars singer Sarah McLachlan spoofing her well-known and oft mocked animal-advocacy ad that uses her song "Angel."

    DEXCOM
    Singer Nick Jonas returns for the second year in an ad that highlight's Dexcom's glucose monitoring system.

    DORITOS
    Music stars Jack Harlow, Missy Elliott and Elton John team up in an ad for Doritos Sweet & Tangy BBQ that shows Harlow abandoning his rap career to focus on the triangle — a Doritos-shaped musical instrument.

    DOWNY UNSTOPABLES
    Super Bowl regular Procter & Gamble promotes its Downy Unstopables brand in an ad showing actor Danny McBride — who wants to go by "Downy McBride."

    DRAFTKINGS
    The online betting site shows stars including skateboard mogul Tony Hawk and singer Ludacris discussing DraftKings free bet offer at a party at actor Kevin Hart's house.

    GENERAL MOTORS AND NETFLIX
    Actor and comedian Will Ferrell drives different GM electric vehicles through different Netflix shows, including "Bridgerton" and "Stranger Things," to announce that Netflix will feature electric vehicles in its original shows.

    GOOGLE
    Google promotes its Pixel photo editing tools "Magic Eraser" and "Photo Unblur" with a 90 second spot featuring Amy Schumer, Doja Cat and NBA star Giannis Antetekoumpo.

    KIA
    Kia's ad for its 2023 Telluride X-Pro SUV shows a dad making an epic trek to recover a child's left behind "binky."

    HELLMANN'S
    The mayo brand shows actors Jon Hamm and Brie Larson in a fridge with a jar of Hellmann's mayo — to drive home the point that Hellmann's would go well with a "ham and brie" sandwich.

    MICHELOB ULTRA
    Michelob Ultra's two ads are set at Bushwood Country Club, the fictional country club in "Caddyshack," and star a bevy of stars and athletes: tennis great Serena Williams, actor Brian Cox, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, soccer player Alex Morgan and boxer Canelo Alvarez.

    PEPSI ZEROSUGAR
    Pepsi is running two ads starring Ben Stiller and Steve Martin that ask "Great acting or great taste?" and ask viewers to taste Pepsi Zero Sugar for themselves.

    PLANTERS
    Jeff Ross, Natasha Leggero and other comedians hold a "roast" for the Planters spokescharacter Mr. Peanut.

    POPCORNERS
    The Frito-Lay brand recreates "Breaking Bad" with Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul — but this time the duo are cooking up the PopCorners snack in their RV instead of anything illicit.

    PRINGLES
    Anyone can get their hand stuck in a Pringles can, according to Pringles' latest Super Bowl ad effort, including singer Meghan Trainor.

    SQUARESPACE
    Adam Driver contemplates the fact that "Squarespace is a website that makes websites" and splits into multiple versions of himself.

    RAKUTEN
    The online shopping site tapped "Clueless" stars Alicia Silverstone and Elisa Donovan to recreate a scene from the 1995 hit and convey that Rakuten gives shoppers cash back on purchases. Designer Christian Siriano also appears as a student.

    T-MOBILE
    To promote its 5G home internet, John Travolta sings a version of "Summer Nights" with "Scrubs" stars Donald Faison and Zach Braff touting its benefits.

    UBER ONE
    Uber's ad for its membership program Uber One shows hip hop mogul P. Diddy working to create a hit song for Uber One. The ad features singers of famous hits, including Montell Jordan ("This is How We Do It"), Kelis ("Milkshake"), Donna Lewis ("I Love You Always Forever"), Haddaway ("What is Love") and Ylvis ("What Does the Fox Say").

    WORKDAY
    In the first Super Bowl ad from the enterprise software company, actual rock stars Ozzy Osbourne, Billy Idol, Joan Jett and others complain that office workers shouldn't call each other "rock stars."

    Video Game Performers Ratify Contract To End Nearly Yearlong Strike

    Wednesday, July 9, 2025

    Unionized video game performers have overwhelmingly voted to approve a new contract with their employers. The vote, whose results were announced Wednesday night by the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, ends a nearly three-year-long effort from union negotiators to obtain a new contract for the performers. The process, which included an 11-month strike against several major game makers, hinged on how artificial intelligence would affect performers in the industry. SAG-AFTRA said 95% of the members who voted favored ratification. The new contract delivers pay raises, control over performers' likenesses and artificial intelligence protections. A tentative contract agreement was first reached in early June between the union and an industry bargaining group consisting of several major video game companies, including Activision, Disney and Electronic Arts. Video game performers "endured a great deal of sacrifice throughout the 11-month strike," Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, the SAG-AFTRA national executive director and chief negotiator said in a press release announcing the results. "Now that the agreement is ratified, video game performers will be able to enjoy meaningful gains and important A.I. protections, which we will continue to build on as uses of this technology settle and evolve," Crabtree-Ireland wrote. Audrey Cooling, a spokesperson for the video game producers involved in the deal, wrote that the agreement "delivers historic wage increases, industry-leading A.I. protections, and enhanced health and safety measures for performers." "We look forward to building on our industry's decades-long partnership with the union and continuing to create groundbreaking entertainment experiences for billions of players... Read More
