Super Bowl Sunday can be a fairly divisive event—it's either your favorite holiday or the day you keep asking about the difference between a fumble and a forward pass.

For the past 50 years, advertisers have been shelling out top dollar to reach the Super Bowl's 114 million chip-munching viewers.

Here are the nine commercials that kept both the pigskin passionate and the football-illiterate glued to the screen.

① Snickers - Betty White (2010)

② Budweiser - Wassup? (1999)
