This year, dozens of companies paid $5 million-plus to advertise for 30 seconds during the 2016 Super Bowl, which does not include the shooting budget or the celebrity endorsement deals.
For that much, you could get 384,000 beers at Levi's Stadium!
And most of these commercials aren't even premiering during the game: They've been available online for days and some already have millions of views on YouTube.
So if you skip the game or choose to spend your commercial time refilling your nacho plate or your beer funnel, here's what you need to know:
1. Seth Rogen and Amy Schumer make a dick joke about the weirdest part of the American electoral process and stroke Paul Rudd's ego for a Bug Light number.
