Super Bowl LIX was a pretty one-sided affair with the Philadelphia Eagles dominating the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22.
At least fans had some entertaining (and some downright weird) commercials to enjoy during the breaks. Here are the best and worst from the big game.
The best commercials from Super Bowl LIX:
1. Mountain Dew | "Kiss From a Lime"
The artist Seal... as a seal. Need we say more? Mountain Dew finally gave the people what they didn't know they needed. Seal remixed his 1994 classic "Kiss from a Rose" in his animalistic form to promote the company's Baja Blast flavor in partnership with Taco Bell.
From our lips to your ears, "Kiss From A Lime" is here to tug at your heartstrings and your tastebuds. #KissFromALime #DoTheDew pic.twitter.com/FopOKq0Wgr

2. Ram Trucks | "Drive your own story"
The American automobile giant brought in actor Glen Powell to rethink the classic Goldilocks and the Three Bears story as more "gritty." Complete with bears, dragons and volcanos (oh my!), Ram found balance in this original take on the association between masculinity and cars.
Once upon a time, like all Ram Truck drivers, Goldilocks longed to tell a different kind of story. #DriveYourOwnStory #JUUUSTRIGHT #RamTrucks #BigGame pic.twitter.com/48D9enJCy6

3. Little Caesars Pizza and Pringles | "Crazy Puffs" and "The call of the mustaches"
Both companies' marketing departments must be part of the same hive mind as they came up with the same flying facial hair idea. Little Caesars Pizza made light of actor Eugene Levy's bushy eyebrows when pushing their new "Crazy Puffs," and Pringles employed nearly every iconic celebrity with a famous mustache.
Though, the edge might have to be given to Pringles by having the Los Angeles Clippers' James Harden hilariously swap staches with actor Nick Offerman.
4. Bud Light | "Big men on cul-de-sac"
Singer Post Malone and comedian Shane Gillis teamed up to help their neighbors celebrate properly with a Bud Light beer. Even former NFL quarterback Peyton Manning cameoed to compliment the duo's lawn mower that doubled as a meat smoker or, as Gillis put it, "my smoker cuts grass."

5. Rocket | "Own The Dream"
Set to the tune of John Denver's 1971 classic "Take Me Home, Country Roads," Rocket companies gave viewers an uplifting spot pushing the message "everyone deserves a shot at the American dream." Images of families, military service members and fans at a football game flash across the screen as the song built to a crescendo.
Then as the ad ended it cut to a live feed within Caesars Superdome in New Orleans as fans at Super Bowl LIX continued to sing along with Denver's iconic chorus. It was just what we all need to hear in "a moment of unity" as it was put fittingly on the Fox broadcast.

The worst commercials from Super Bowl LIX
1. Coffee-mate | "Coffee Mate Cold Foam"
When viewers are forced to focus on a person's tongue, it's going to be uncomfortable. Coffee-mate somehow took that feeling to the max by subjecting Super Bowl viewers to morphing, dancing and autonomous tongues in order to promote its new cold foam product. It was just plain unsettling to watch.

2. Open AI/Chat GPT | "What do you want to create next?"
With people already on edge about the rapid rise of artificial intelligence (AI) in our society, it might've been smart to launch an ad calming those fears. Instead, Open AI released one for Chat GPT that nobody really knew was for Chat GPT until the final couple of seconds. It was just random dots, shapes and images with little to no context.

3. Tubi | "If it's in you, it's in here"
Even the title of the ad was disquieting. An unborn baby with its head shaped like a cowboy hat because it's supposedly really into Western-themed movies? And the bullies that belittle him for it have heads shaped like wizard hats because they are into the fantasy genre. Don't ask because we don't know either.

4. Cirkul water | "You Got Cirkul"
This ad didn't do a very good job selling Cirkul water as the "go-to" hydration product. Even if it had actor Adam Devine, all anyone took away from it was that they should be wary of any individuals dropping off a package at their door.
Supposedly the company gave away cases of Cirkul to 100,000 random people. Nobody asked for that, similar to how Apple Music forced everyone with one of its devices to download U2's "Songs of Innocence" album in 2014.
The Big Game just got 100,000 times BIGGER! Thanks to @adamdevine's not-so-little mix up on the search for hydration, 100,000 Cirkul Starter Kits will be sent across the nation THIS SUNDAY! That's right, this giveaway is happening live during the Big Game. Check your… pic.twitter.com/vcC4HeGweh

5. Totino's Pizza Rolls | "RIP Chazmo"
Totino's didn't provide any context for this ad featuring comedian Tim Robinson in which its alien mascot, Chazmo, apparently is squashed to death by his spaceship's doors.
That's it. That's the ad. Robinson and another actor just quip about how Chazmo's death is more impactful to the children with them because he never opened up to them. It didn't make much sense at all.

Bonus - Movie trailers that debuted during Super Bowl LIX
With major studios like Universal, Disney and Paramount buying ad time during Super Bowl LIX, fans got a glimpse at some highly anticipated blockbusters coming later this year.
Tom Cruise and Co. barrel-rolled into the mix with a brand new teaser for "Mission Impossible — The Final Reckoning." The action-packed film, expected to be the last in the popular Paramount-owned franchise, is slated to release May 23.
Disney found a creative way to integrate its upcoming live-action version of the classic "Lilo & Stitch" into the big game atmosphere. The title character alien was seen causing havoc on the field as game staff attempted to contain him to no avail. The family-friendly remake will also release May 23.
Universal also unveiled its own live-action re-make, with dazzlingly realistic CGI for "How to Train Your Dragon." The July 13 release date should also have families lining up to see it.
Finally, Marvel Studios released new footage of the "Thunderbolts*" as fans prepare to hit the theaters for "Captain America: Brave New World" which releases Feb. 14. The next installment in the "Multiverse Saga" is set to release May 2.
