Will Ferrell instantly makes any ad better. And selling GM’s new electric vehicle range was no exception as he went on a journey (with some additional cameos from Kenan Thompson and Akwafina) to take down the country that drives the most electrical vehicles per capita - Norway.

In this cheesy and playful spot from State Farm, NFL quarterbacks Aaron Rodgers and Patrick Mahomes discuss their ‘stand-ins’ and how little they look like them (Paul Rudd standing in for Patrick Mahomes!).

But the centre of the piece is Drake...being put back in his place by ‘Jake from State Farm’.

Newly-crowned Emmy winner Dan Levy delivers the punch line on this beautifully paced M&Ms spot where the chocolate giant suggests using M&Ms as a way to apologise for everything from kicking someone’s seat on a plane to being called Karen.

Doritos release 3D ‘puff Doritos’ so how else do you launch it but to create a paper version of Matthew McConnaughey to walk around talking about how tough his life is without being in 3D in a way only he can.

It’s technically impressive and creatively so ridiculous, but it works so well.

Jason Alexander’s face features more than Jason Alexander himself. But this is a genius piece of story-telling from Tide, mixed in with great pop-culture references from Seinfeld.

The ad features the song “Believe it or Not”, a nod to the Seinfeld episode ‘The Susie’ where George (Jason Alexander) uses it as his answering machine message.

A genuinely relatable problem (your partner stealing your snacks) + A cheesy remake of a Shaggy classic = A damn solid Super Bowl spot.

The hit movie Wayne’s World is the centrepiece of this Uber Eats spot, which takes the piss out of itself from start to end, including the ‘shameless celebrity endorsement’ line with Cardi B.

It’s playful, but it also gets across the core message - Eat Local - really well.
