The best moments of the Super Bowl

Not the half-time show, not the Puppy Bowl, and certainly not the  actual gameplay, the best part of the Super Bowl is the commercial  break, that frequent stop in the action where we get to see the most  creative and entertaining commercials of the year. It's like Mad Men  on steroids, or, more appropriately, a five-martini lunch. The best,  most high-budget commercials come from the automakers, which take  their pitches beyond simple specs to portray cute or weird little  narratives. Lucky for you, the automakers have gotten in the habit of  releasing their commercials on the Internet, before the actual event,  and we have rounded them up. See Toyota's genie-granted wishes and  Kate Upton as a Mercedes-Benz. Trouble viewing this email? Read it online.
