What if Superbowl commercials for once will have no celebrities and just be regular instead?

You know those Superbowl commercials every year, they involve commercials which are considered epic and special and even have celebrities to participate in them , the reason Superbowl commercials are like this is due to Apple's 1984 Macintosh commercial which aired in Superbowl and is considered iconic especially that it's directed by well known director at that time Ridley Scott.

But some of us wonder and ask what would happen if just for once the Superbowl commercials will be regular and have no celebrities , I mean having celebrities in commercials and even be special during Superbowl feels so tiresome and repetitive so what if the special Superbowl commercials need to take a break and instead air regular commercials instead as in no special variety and no celebrities.

So is it okay if Superbowl commercials for once will have no celebrities and just be regular instead?

I don't understand? Why would they do that? Who is benefiting from this? Why would any party involved want to make a part of the event talked about less?

Theres no celebrities in the commercial you used as an example of why commercials have celebrities in them.

the companies pay massive amounts of money to air commercials during the super bowl. lots of people will be watching and also lots of people will actually be watching the commercials because they expect them to be special. Once the company has decided to pay that huge fee to air their commercial during the super bowl it just makes sense to try and make it as special/memorable as possible and having celebs in it is one way to do that.

I guess that's a reason because many people in America watch the Superbowl.

Well there were all the iconic Budweiser commercials that didn't have celebrities. The Clydesdales, the frogs, the Bud Bowl.

Also though, why would you pay tens of millions of dollars for a commercial slot and then run a random run of the mill commercial?

You pay for the air spot so people talk about your art. So just putting random nonsense up is bad business.

As crazy as it sounds, some people watch the Super Bowl just for the ads.
