All Super Bowls since the first have been sellouts and consistent TV-ratings leaders, with many Super Bowls among the highest-rated televised sporting events of all time. As a result, commercial time during the game is the most expensive of the year; for example, in 2016 a 30-second spot cost approximately $4.8 million. The high-profile advertisements have featured celebrities and noted filmmakers as well as new technologies in hopes of making an impression on the huge Super Bowl audience. Since the 1980s, media scrutiny of and public interest in Super Bowl commercials have nearly matched that accorded the game itself.

In an intensely political year, Super Bowl ads went escapist  

        

Facebook, Hummer, and Snickers relied on celeb cameos and absurd comedy instead of taking a stand.

Super Bowl Ad Watch: Trump on criminal justice reform


https://www.politifact.com/article/2020/feb/03/super-bowl-ad-watch-trump-criminal-justice-reform/


The ad gives the impression that Johnson was among those prisoners released because of the First Step Act’s reforms. In reality, Trump commuted Johnson's sentence in June 2018, more than six months before he signed the First Step Act into law.

A commutation is a form of executive clemency that the president has the power to grant convicted criminals. While Trump’s commutation allowed Johnson to go free, the move was short of a full pardon
