Super Bowl ads: Hits and Misses

Football! What football? After Beyoncé's kick-ass halftime show, the most exciting thing about Super Bowl 2013 is the batch of brand new, celebrified commercials that debut at the game.

Some celebrity adverts make us LOL, and others simply make us close our eyes, clench our teeth and pray for the next 30 seconds to fly by. 

We've rounded up the best and worst of the Super Bowl adverts for you to watch here.

HITS

Amy Poehler - Best Buy
Ain't she cute? The newly single comedian also shows off her cheeky, flirty side in this fast-paced, effective ad for the giant electronics corporation. 



Paul Rudd and Seth Rogen for Samsung
Comedians seemed to be the lucky charm with celebrity endorsements in the Super Bowl ads this year. Paul and Seth go head to head for the endorsement gig in this ad. Look out for the hilarious antics of a Breaking Bad star!



Audi Prom
The Middle's Charlie McDermott plays a high school kid attending his prom solo. When Dad gives him the Audi for the night, see what the car does for his confidence.



MISSES

Bar Rafaeli for Go Daddy
Euw, eeuw, EEUW! The supermodel kisses the nerd and the sounds and close-ups that ensue are just nasty. Poor form.



Coke Chase
Lawrence of Arabia meets Priscilla, Queen of the Desert meets a few characters from The Mummy. We get it - you're in the desert! Major overkill.



PSY for Wonderful Pistachios
The Korean pop sensation sold out himself and his hit song for pistachios. Let's hope they paid him enough to make the embarrassment worthwhile.
