Super Bowl ads: Watch 2023's biggest commercials you may have missed

That was quick.

The so-called "spokescandies," a lineup including the red, yellow, green and purple M&M's, were back as the stars of M&M's commercials after the conclusion of the Super Bowl.

Earlier in the evening, an ad starring Maya Rudolph taking over as spokesperson and wrecking havoc on the iconic candies. She renamed them Ma&Ya's and changed them to chocolate-covered clam bites. The original 'spokescandies' returned to the relief of consumers.

Last month candy maker Mars said it was replacing the candy icons with Rudolph after facing right-wing criticism over its mascot makeover. On Sunday it declared the spokescandies were "back for good."

Free streaming service Tubi had Super Bowl viewers thinking they flipped the channel on Sunday.

In what appeared to be a return from the commercial break, with Fox broadcasters Kevin Burkhardt and Greg Olsen front and center, suddenly the Tubi interface appeared.

The ad-supported streaming service, owned by Super Bowl broadcaster Fox Corp, brought viewers into its interface, as if they were clicking around in the app. Front and center was Fox Nation original content, like "Yellowstone One-Fifty," the Kevin Costner-narrated program celebrating the national park's 150th anniversary. Super Bowl watchers tweeted their confusion.

Harrison Butker redeemed an earlier miss to give the Chiefs a three-point lead with mere seconds left in Super Bowl LVII.

T-Mobile is calling out to "Grease" fans with its Super Bowl commercial.

The wireless company tapped John Travolta to reprise his part in the "Summer Lovin'" duet from the 1970s film to spread the word about its 5G home internet. Travolta gets some assistance from Zach Braff and Donald Faison, costars from the long-running sitcom, "Scrubs."

T-Mobile has been pushing its 5G internet and creating competition that has been hitting traditional cable providers recently.

Also on Sunday, the company released an advertisement for its internet featuring actor Bradley Cooper and his mom Gloria. The spot features a series of bloopers of the mother-son duo and playful jests about Bradley's bright pink shirt that Gloria said made him look like a "flamingo."

Booking.com features Melissa McCarthy singing an ode to the travel agency website in its second Super Bowl ad ever.

Throughout the 30-second spot, the Emmy award-winning comedy star and producer takes seconds-long visits to luxe locations. While popping into places like a Malibu beach house, a poolside resort, and a mountainside ski lodge, she sings the Booking.com original song "Somewhere, Anywhere."

Booking.com, a brand housed within Booking Holdings, debuted its first Super Bowl commercial last year starring Idris Elba, adding to the wave of travel promotion looking to capitalize on vacation demand pent-up from the pandemic.

The Super Bowl ad is a part of a larger Booking.com ad campaign with McCarthy. To launch the marketing effort, the travel agency is giving away 10,000 travel credits to 50 winners who enter the sweepstakes on social media.

He tied the overall rushing touchdown record held by running back Terrell Davis, too.

Ram's 60-second "Premature Electrification" spot spoofs commercials for male sex-enhancement drug ads and indirectly takes shots at anxiety points associated with current all-electric vehicles, specifically pickup trucks.

The ad features electric vehicle owners, including couples, discussing problems they've had with their electric trucks in an innocent, yet sexually proactive way.

The spot debuts the production version of the all-electric Ram 1500 REV pickup that is expected to begin production next year. The truck debuted last month as a concept at the CES technology show.

It stars actor Jason Jones, a Canadian-American comedian best known for his work on HBO's "The Flight Attendant" and "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart."

The Kansas City Chiefs are on a roll. After the longest punt return in Super Bowl history, the team scored a touchdown. They now lead 35-27 with under 10 minutes to go.

A shootout between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs has been overshadowed by the very field Super Bowl LVII is being played on.

Throughout Sunday's game, players have had a hard time keeping their footing on the grass field at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.

The new playing surface, which was installed two weeks ago, reported cost close to $1 million and was was grown at a local sod farm in Phoenix.

Patrick Mahomes marched Kansas City down the field to open the fourth quarter with a touchdown. The Chiefs now have their first lead.

Planters' mascot Mr. Peanut gets roasted by a plethora of comedians in the Hormel brand's commercial.

Jeff Ross, Natasha Leggero, Atsuko Okatsuka, Frank Castillo, Yamaneika Saunders, David Lucas, and Sarah Tiana step on stage to insult the cartoon character.

Despite roasting Mr. Peanut, it's a relatively tame commercial for Planters, who previously killed him in its 2020 spot and revived him as a baby in its 2021 ad. Mr. Peanut makes a reference to that death at the end of this year's commercial, saying he wished that Planters had killed him again instead.

The commercial is set to 1976's "Gonna Fly Now," which is better known today as the "Rocky" movie theme music.

The company, which makes dog food from human-grade ingredients, unleashed the 60-second spot during the big game Sunday to kick off a sprawling marketing campaign.

Candy maker Mars generated some pre Super Bowl buzz for its M&M's when it said Maya Rudolph would be its new spokesperson rather than its so-called spokescandies.

Well, Rudolph is turning the M&M's world upside down. The "Saturday Night Live" alum proclaimed the new name of the candies would be Ma&Ya's, each donning a picture of her face. But rather than chocolate, they will now be "candy coated clam bites." We'll be watching to see what happens the next time Rudolph shows up in the Super Bowl ad parade.

Google's answer to fixing your blurry, blemished photos – and removing the people and objects you don't want in them – will be the center of its Super Bowl commercial this year as it pushes its Pixel smart phones.

The ad promotes the AI tools used on Pixel phones. It begins with pulling on heartstrings but quickly evolves into poking fun at photo mishaps. Comedian Amy Schumer chimes in, "Wait, I can erase my exes?" and starts the parade of celebrities promoting what its Pixel phones can do. Google unveiled its new the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro phones in September, which still capture a small part of the smart phone market.

The Philly QB scored his second rushing touchdown to give his team the lead late in the second quarter. Earlier his fumble led to the Chiefs tying the game.

The longest-running company for Super Bowl advertising isn't an automaker, it's accessory company WeatherTech, which is celebrating its 10th-consecutive year advertising during the big game. Watch the ad.
