Commercials

It’s sad to hear Alan Rickman’s voice. We lost the great Die Hard and Harry Potter star just a few weeks ago; Rickman died after a battle with pancreatic cancer at the age of 69. His work in Alice Through the Looking Glass is his final onscreen performance; he plays Absolem, the Caterpillar. That’s him saying “You’ve been gone too long Alice. There are matters that cannot be neglected.

We all know how Super Bowl commercials strive to be the best of the year. Well, here's one we may be talking about for a long time -- like, maybe nine months.

Football fans are no doubt excited for the 2016 Super Bowl, but even non-sports fans can find something to enjoy. No, we’re not talking about Cam Newton handing out footballs to little kids or Peyton Manning’s last stand, we’re talking about the Super Bowl movie trailers that will be airing during the commercial breaks. With the 2016 Super Bowl set to air on CBS this Sunday, we thought now would be the perfect time to run through what we know is going to debut during the big game and what surprises could still be in store. We’ll continue to update with any last minute surprises, and you can watch all the 2015 Super Bowl trailers on our site as they become available.

If you've been reading ComicsAlliance for long enough, then it absolutely will not surprise you to learn that nothing makes me more emotional than Pokemon. They're just so... they just want to be friends and to grow stronger through the firebreathing dog equivalent of martial arts! They just want you to be your best! And that, my friends, is what Nintendo and the Pokemon Company are highlighting with their upcoming Super Bowl commercial. It's part of a year-long celebration of the franchise's 20th Anniversary --- Pokémon Red and Green made their debut on February 27, 1996 --- but it was released online today for all of us to enjoy. Give it a watch, but prepare to start sobbing.

Two of the world's greatest Super Heroes, Batman and Superman, join forces with Hendrick Motorsports and superstars Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Jimmie Johnson, as the pair of drivers prepare to face off during the March 20 NASCAR race in California.

'Hi, Billy Mays here for asklfhctyiwkrtngf;lsdgnsf...' - The greatest pitch video ever.

In a brilliant marketing ploy, Doritos has everyone competing to make the best Doritos commercial for the Super Bowl. This is my pick for best.

For me it's a first, I don't remember seeing this add last year. Back in January 2013 Samsung shot a commercial for their Eco Bubble washing machines and other products. The shoot at Manning Park in British Columbia was interrupted by a big brown bear who needed to use their washing machine. Ends up the brown bear was actually a polar bear.

Actor James Garner passed yesterday in his home in Brentwood, CA, of apparent natural causes. Born James Scott Baumgarner in Norman, OK, Garner was a Purple Heart recipient, serving in the Army during the Korean War. Garner's acting career began in 1954 with a non-speaking role in the Broadway production of 'The Caine Mutiny Court Martial...

Love him or hate him, there's no denying Derek Jeter's place in baseball history. And with tonight's MLB All-Star game being the 40-year-old's last, Nike has unveiled its tribute commercial that will air tonight before Jeter's final at-bat.

Ever since I was a young boy, I can remember the Grey Poupon commercials of old rich people handing a jar to each other through pricey car windows. It was classy. This commercial isn't having that such luck.

The last two times I was involved in an accident the person who hit me was either on their phone or texting. Luckily for me they were both low speed collisions and one was in a parking lot. It's estimated that texting and driving or mobile phone use is now the leading cause of death behind the wheel. What's crazy is more than half the people on the road I see are either on their phones or texting!
