The Best Super Bowl Commercials of All Time

Quote:

10. Betty White (Snickers)

Riding the Betty White pop-culture love of the time, 2010’s Snickers ad features the Golden Girls star playing a game of football with some dudes. Sure, she was 88 at the time and came out of retirement to film the segment, but this is Betty White! So when the former Hollywood Squares and $25,000 Pyramid mainstay takes a hard tackle and lands in the mud, her response – “Oh come on, man. You’ve been riding me all day!” – is totally believable.

The commercial started the Snickers “You’re not you when you're hungry” campaign that would soon make it the number one candy bar on the market (up from number seven). At least, that’s what the Mars Wrigley brand’s ad agency claims. And while it’s a bit disappointing that the revered comedienne turns out to actually be some guy named Mike who’s only playing like Betty White, we then see that Abe Vigoda is also on the field taking hits. Such highs and lows in this ad!
