Best Super Bowl 2023 Commercials: Why Tubi, Diddy, Cardi B & Offset Had The Internet In A Chokehold
Super Bowl 2023 was another year of an exciting game and unforgettable commercials. A few of the most talked about commercials were from the streaming service Tubi, the Uber One commercial starring the one and only Diddy, and Cardi B and Offset’s McDonald’s commercial, just in time for Valentine’s Day. See the best Super Bowl 2023 commercials inside… Advertisers bet big that viewers would turn to the Super Bowl for a comforting escape, and they delivered a series of ads featuring familiar celebrity faces, light humor, and plenty of cute dogs. This year, Tubi had everyone scrambling for the remote control after their commercial tricked viewers into thinking they changed the channel. The Super Bowl LVII broadcast appeared to be returning from a commercial break in the 15-second spot titled “Interface Interruption,” with Fox Sports announcers Kevin Burkhardt and Greg Olsen. But then it appeared that the screen had been taken over by someone scrolling over to the Tubi TV app and searching through the streaming service's library for something to watch.

In the clip, the billionaire meets with Uber executives at his Combs Global headquarters, where he is tasked with creating "one hit for Uber One." Diddy then enlists the help of celebrities like Montell Jordan, Donna Lewis, Kelis, and others to recreate their biggest hits for the commercial. It’s hilarious.

The fast-food chain tapped eight couples, including celebrity couple Cardi B and Offset, to announce a special meal-for-two deal. The “Cardi B & Offset meal,” which will be available for a limited time on Valentine's Day, includes a cheeseburger with BBQ sauce and a large Coke (Cardi B's choice) and a Quarter Pounder with Cheese and a large Hi-C Orange Lavaburst (Offset's choice), as well as a large order of fries and an apple pie to share.

The puppy, dubbed Bear, lives on as the young protagonist, Ava, grows through childhood, college, and eventually has her own child. Bear is still around, seemingly, because Ava's family had the foresight to feed him food that is superior to the ultra-processed kibble that its competitors produce. The clip was perfect.
