The Super Bowl ads

Since the Patriots aren't in the Super Bowl, there's only one reason left to watch it -- the commercials. And now there's not even much of a reason anymore to tune in for those.

In the last couple of years, companies have released their Super Bowl ads early.

Here are this year's early favorites.

What if Budweiser beer actually tasted as good as its commercials?

Old Spice is touting its new wolf scent, apparently.

Allstate creates a new religion...

Mercedes Benz gives the devil equal time...

A bunch of 20- and 30-year-old actors play high school students for Audi...

And so on and so forth. YouTube is collecting all the ads here.

None of them are a substitute for watching Tom Brady.

What does a commercial taste like?

(Sorry - couldn't help myself.)
