Amy Schumer donned her fairy wings for a commercial with food brand Hellman’s, but there was a wild condition attached to her appearance.

Timothee Chalamet stars as Edward Scissorhands’ son in what is arguably the standout Super Bowl commercial from 2021.

One of the most anticipated parts of the Super Bowl, aside from the Halftime Show, are the hilarious commercials and this year there are plenty of celebrities taking part.

This year’s commercials feature John Travolta, Cardi B, Ashton Kutcher, Mila Kunis, Jason Alexander and Matthew McConaughey to name just a few.

Comedian Amy Schumer also appeared as a winged angel for mayonnaise brand Hellman’s but there was a groundbreaking condition attached to her appearance.

Bruce Springsteen’s own 1980 Jeep CJ-5 also features in the commercial, which focuses on common ground, connection and bridging the political divide. “It’s no secret the middle has been a hard place to get to lately,” he narrates. “We need the middle.

ROBINHOOD

The trading app for amateurs has been hit with a wall of controversy after it halted buying and selling of GameStop shares, but its first ad is trying to woo more users. It included the message: “You don’t need to become an investor. You were born one.”

REDDIT

It’s been hitting the headlines a lot lately after its user sent the share market crazy and while the company couldn’t afford a full ad and did air five second ads across key states where it talks about the Reddit Rebellion.“Big game spots are expensive, so we couldn’t buy a full one,” the company announced in a blog post. “But we were inspired and decided to spend our entire marketing budget on 5 seconds of airtime. One thing we learned from our communities last week is that underdogs can accomplish just about anything when they come together around a common idea.”

The blink and you miss it commercial was shown in New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Boston and Washington DC.

In case you missed the Reddit Super Bowl ad... it was only 5 second long. I definitely paused to read it. pic.twitter.com/dkKNE7b0j3

HUGGIES

A tearjerker from the well known nappy brand as it features babies born on game day. It’s the first nappy brand to nab a Super Bowl ad spot, despite US birth rates in the biggest decline since the Great Recession. But it hit the spot on social media with users describing the commercial as “adorable”.

“What a brilliant campaign idea by @Huggies they are welcoming babies born today on their social feed and including them in their ad,” tweeted one user.

AMY SCHUMER

The comedian is transformed into the ‘Fairy Godmayo’, complete with golden wings, for food brand Hellman’s to inspire people to waste less food at home. It shows Schumer stepping into a refrigerator filled with jars of mayonnaise before her angel wings unfurl. It’s reported that part of her contract for the commercial was a groundbreaking clause that stated that Hellman’s make their best efforts to avoid placing the ad near any hate or disinformation online or off.

TOYOTA

Featuring Paralympic swimmer Jessica Long, the car manufacturer’s ad is being heavily praised on social media, with many admitting the commercial brought them to tears.

Long was adopted by an American couple from a Russian orphanage. The ad depicts a phone call where is it revealed Long needs to have her legs amputated due to a rare condition called fibular hemimelia, which means she didn’t have any ankles, heels, fibulas and other bones in her feet. But it ends on a high note with the line: “We believe there is hope and strength in all of us.”

“Oh @Toyota you guys made me cry during #SuperBowlLV thanks for that amazing adoption message,” wrote one man.

“Winner of “Tightest Tug on my Heartstrings” is @Toyota‘s Olympics spot,” one man said.

“@JessicaLong if there were #superbowlad medals that’s a gold for sure!” wrote another user.

JASON ALEXANDER

Seinfield star Jason Alexander has his face blown up on a hoodie to promote a brand of detergent called Tide, which is made by Procter & Gamble. The ad shows the teenage owner of the hoodie, who doesn’t look after it very well, as it suffers dog drool, dirty gym socks and is even sat on. It ends with Alexander spotting the kid in the hoodie and demanding he stop wearing his face.

DRAKE AND PAUL RUDD
