Each year, a 30-second commercial spot continues to climb and this year was no different. According to AdAge, brands had to cough up $5.6 million for a 30-second spot during Super Bowl LIV.

Couple John Legend & Chrissy Teigen won the Super Bowl car commercial award for their party throwing antics in Genesis' ad spot for the GV80 SUV. The "sexiest man alive" comment was cute.

Trump used Alice Marie Johnson - the great-grandmother he granted clemency to after she served 21 years in prison for a nonviolent drug offense (with help from Kim Kardashian West) - in his 2020 reelection campaign. Of course.

“Alice Johnson was sentenced to serve life in prison for a nonviolent drug offense,” the commercial read. “Thanks to President Trump people like Alice are getting a second chance. Politicians talk about criminal justice reform. President Trump got it done. Thousands of families are being reunited.”

"Two Super Bowls ago I was sitting in a prison cell," Alice tweeted. "Today I am a free woman and my story was featured in a Super Bowl Ad. I will spend the rest of my life fighting for the wrongly and unjustly convicted! God Bless America!"

"I promised to restore hope in America. That includes the least among us. Together, let’s KEEP AMERICA GREAT!," Trump tweeted.
