The Best, Worst and Weirdest Super Bowl Commercials of 2025

A 30-second commercial cost about $8 million

The Super Bowl kicked off Sunday with a taped video of Tom Cruise introducing the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles as if they were about to fight to the death. “The mission is clear: Win here and be remembered forever,” Cruise said, using the dramatic spy voice he employs in the Mission: Impossible movie franchise.

Cruise's appearance — along with those of Missouri native Jon Hamm, who announced the arrival of the Chiefs, and Bradley Cooper, who welcomed his hometown Eagles — set the stage for the wacky star-studded commercials to come. Dunkin’ brought back Ben Affleck, the one true DunKing; Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal reunited to persuade “When Harry Met Sally” fans to buy Hellmann’s mayonnaise; and Mountain Dew scarred everyone by putting the singer Seal’s face on a literal seal. No, thank you!
