The Blackest, Most Fabulous Super Bowl LVI Commercials

There wasn’t a shortage of entertaining, fabulous and uber black Super Bowl ads this year. See the best ones inside…

It was def a change of pace for the best part of the game this year.  The 2022 Super Bowl commercials were the blackest they’ve ever been.

As you know, advertisers spend big bucks for ads during the Super Bowl, which is one of the biggest entertainment nights of the year. On average, this year’s Super Bowl ad spots were about $6.5 million per spot. With a price tag like that - they better be good.

Diversity and inclusion have been talking points for the NFL, so this year’s commercial line up included more faces of color than usual.

Google Pixel’s Super Bowl ad highlighted a solution to a problem in a new commercial. Historically, cameras have failed to accurately capture images of people of color. That’s all changed.
