The 15 Best Super Bowl 2013 Commercials (VIDEO)
Rating the big game’s top ads is an annual rite. From Amy Poehler’s Best Buy turn to Budweiser’s Clydesdale tale to Volkswagen’s (controversial) man with the Jamaican accent, see the showdown’s best commercials.
These advertisements will make you laugh, cry, and, well—mostly laugh some more, from the touching Clydesdale reunion to an even feistier-than-normal Amy Poehler grilling a Best Buy employee. Get those nachos ready and settle in for a rerun of The Daily Beast-certified best Super Bowl Commercials And Best TV Commercials
Half
the battle is making it through this ad without crying. In this Jeep
ad, the company salutes the return of American troops, with the message
“America is home again”—complete with an Oprah voice-over. “Because when
you’re home, we’re more than a family—we’re a nation,” Oprah narrates
over images of American soldiers returning home. “It was a moment that
resonated to my core,” Oprah tweeted about the ad.
Would you strike a deal with the devil (in the form of Willem Dafoe
with sharpened fingernails) for a shiny new Mercedes? It’s nothing that
hasn’t been done before, and this guy is highly tempted.
It’s
totally OK if you teared up a little at this. Not that we did. But this
classic rearing-to-separation-to-reunion tale of a Clydesdale and its
owner was truly touching. Remember Christian the lion, anyone?
Classic
girl-meets-boy love story with a twist. Short and sweet, it made it
onto the list because “Nothing beats an astronaut” may be one of the
greatest Super Bowl commercial ad taglines in recent history.
In case there was any doubt about Best Buy’s customer service quality, Amy Poehler tested it out. But first, won’t he unbutton his shirt a bit?
In case you thought Americans were friendly, keep in mind that even a touch of Jamaica can brighten anyone’s day. Yah, mon.
It’s absurd that advertisers can’t say “Super Bowl” during commercials, according to Seth Rogen and Paul Rudd. In talks with Samsung
they come up with some very, very close, and highly entertaining,
alternatives. Baltimore Black Birds, perhaps, and the San Francisco 50s
Minus One works just as well.
Super
Bowl, schmuper bowl. This cool dad has more fun playing princess (with a
Doritos incentive) than downing brews with the bros. Makeup and all.
Cars.com, Dramatic Focus Group
Because
nothing is better than a hidden camera, this hilarious sequel to
Cars.com’s “undramatic” car-buying extravaganza will make you want to
join some focus groups.
Have
you ever dreamed of an epic race through the desert, complete with a
camel caravan, cowboy gang, tour buses of headdress-clad women, and
motorcyclists, all advancing toward a giant bottle of Coke? Neither have
we. But after Coca-Cola’s rendition of one, Pepsi has some work to do.
As a Wheat Thin owner, you’re bound to get a little paranoid, but this guy really takes it up a notch—and for good reason.
This
makes us feel a lot better about getting old. These old folkies have
the time of their lives once the lights go out. From the clubs to the
tattoo parlors to the bar bathrooms, this looks like an epic night on
the town.
Go Daddy, Your Big Idea
It’s
a small world—especially when everyone’s stealing your idea.
Originality is key for a memorable Super Bowl commercial, and the
combination of accents and scenery makes this a keeper, even if it isn’t
especially funny.
Hyundai, Team of Kids
Don’t get on the bad side of these pint-size warriors. Especially not the bear-wrestling one.
Ann Curry: My Today Show Bosses Dissed My Wardrobe

When the Today show cameras were rolling, Ann Curry shined with her prowess for asking the right questions and reporting the facts.
But could she pick out the right outfit in the morning?
"One day, I wore a multicolored dress, and someone asked if I was trying to be Toucan Sam," Curry, 55, tells Ladies' Home Journal in an interview conducted just before she announced her departure from the NBC morning show in June. "But I chose it because I thought, 'This will perk up America.' "
She took pleasing her viewers to new heights, after all – and this meant ditching her clogs and flats.
"I'm encouraged by my bosses to wear these ridiculously high-heeled shoes because women say, 'I love your shoes!' So if it makes women happy, I'll wear them," adds Curry, who still reports for the network. "But I'm still going to be me."
And although she made a few fashion fixes, the TV journalist did indeed stay true to herself, as promised.
"I've decided not to buy into the idea that I want to stop aging. My wrinkles connect me to my family, to my ancestors and to my future," says Curry, who reunited on Thursday with former co-host Matt Lauer for the first time since her emotional exit from Today to cover the London Olympics. "I've got cellulite because it runs in my family. I've got gray hair because I won't dye it."

Zabrina Reyes. wins $100,000 Dr. Pepper scholarship
Scholarship winner Zabrina Reyes. FACEBOOK
SAN FRANCISCO — Zabrina Reyes of San Diego
threw 11 passes into an oversized Dr. Pepper can Saturday, December 6
during halftime of the Southeastern Conference (SEC) Championship Game
at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta.
As a result of her throwing accuracy, the University of California
-San Diego freshman was awarded $100,000 towards her college tuition.

Reyes revealed that she entered the competition prepared. It was
reported that she had built a replica target and practiced three times a
week for an entire month. She was even deft enough to grab two
footballs at a time from the rack with one in each hand, cutting down
her motion time.“I felt like I could have practiced more, but I guess it was enough,” said a modest Reyes, one of 16 finalists picked out of over 1,700 participants.
Reyes, who is studying arts and sciences, was emotional after the victory, bursting in tears in front of the nationally televised audience. She said the prize money would take some weight off of her and her parents’ shoulders, and that it would “lessen the financial burden,” allowing her to concentrate on her studies.
“I just started crying, that’s all I could do,” Reyes said in a telephone interview via a video story on CBN News 8 with Matt Johnson.
She thanked the soft drink company for the opportunity to participate in the event then thanked her family and friends in both San Diego and Philippines for their support. Many on social media were so impressed with her passing skills that they called for Reyes to play quarterback for their favorite college football team.
“Out of my three sisters I’m like the least athletic, so it’s pretty funny,” said Reyes, who saw the tweets directed her way and admitted the most quarterbacking she would be doing in the future is maybe playing a little toss out in the yard.
In Reyes’ profile page for the contest, she said she would like to “cure ignorance,” “redefine abnormal” and has “always had an itch to understand the people around me.” Part of the scholarship money will also go towards funding school for her younger sister.
