Super Bowl Commercials: We Love Animals

Published February 7, 2011

The old actor's maxim was to never share the screen with an animal because you'd be upstaged every time. Advertisers have gotten hip to this fact and happily lean on animal actors to hook people's attentions. While Super Bowl XLV gave sports fans lots to cheer about, the commercials gave animal lovers their own snippets of entertainment.

There were pugs in slow motion, horses, spider monkeys, beavers, talking geckos, chimpanzees in suits, sheep in sedans, and a surprisingly serene glimpse of a mouse's cozy life beneath the floorboards. To see what all the furry fuss was about, check out our list of all the Super Bowl commercials that featured animals.
