00:00Not everyone in this commercial will have a Miller time, but you might.
00:04Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the scariest
00:08and most unsettling Super Bowl commercials of all time.
00:16Number 10. Puppy Monkey Baby, Mountain Dew, Super Bowl 50
00:21Puppy Monkey Baby. Puppy Monkey Baby.
00:24There are freaky mascots and then there's Puppy Monkey Baby.
00:27Mountain Dew was coming out with a new drink called Kickstart, which was a combination of
00:32regular Mountain Dew, juice, and caffeine. So, to celebrate, they created the Puppy Monkey Baby,
00:37a combination of, well, you can probably guess. Puppy. Monkey. Baby.
00:43This thing is a complete horror show, with the head of a dog,
00:45the body of a monkey, and the legs of a human baby. As if it didn't look scary enough,
00:50it also dances around the room in a jerky stop-motion manner, making it look like
00:54something out of The Nightmare Before Christmas. Catchy tune, though.
01:02Number 9. Robo Child, Turbo Tax, Super Bowl 53
01:06All right, check it out. I call him Robo Child.
01:10Call us crazy, but we get the shivers any time we see robots with human faces.
01:14In this horrific commercial for Turbo Tax, a man shows off his new Robo Child,
01:19which is a metal figure with a human child's face and one of those weird pre-Siri robot voices.
01:31This kind of human face plastered on a robot body was creepy when RoboCop did it,
01:35and it's still creepy today. Props to the design team who made this thing,
01:39because it looks fantastic. It's just too bad that it is deeply, deeply unsettling.
01:49Still perfecting emotion.
01:51Number 8. The Singularity, Squarespace, Super Bowl 57
02:03It's amazing how much work goes into Super Bowl commercials nowadays.
02:07These things are basically short movies at this point. Unfortunately, horror shorts are very
02:13popular. Adam Driver stars in this impeccably produced ad for Squarespace, which shows him
02:18walking in a vast desert landscape backed by moody synth music. It's already quite eerie
02:27in a Blade Runner kind of way, but then he comes across The Singularity. Suddenly,
02:31multiple Adam Drivers emerge and speak in unison, and then The Singularity activates
02:36and sucks them all into its gravitational pull. Who knew that the year's best piece
02:40of sci-fi horror would come via a Super Bowl commercial?
02:49Number 7. Rabbit Holes, Tubi, Super Bowl 57
03:08Heck, this commercial's so scary that it even starts like a horror movie.
03:12A woman is working away on her computer when a figure walks by the doorway.
03:16She hears a creak and turns around, but of course, no one is there.
03:20And then, she's violently yanked away by a giant rabbit paw.
03:33So begins this Armageddon-type scenario where giant rabbits are kidnapping humans
03:37and throwing them into pits. The imagery is apocalyptic, and we don't even want to know
03:42why rabbits are 7 feet tall and walking on two legs. Luckily, the holes have TVs in them,
03:48so the humans can enjoy a bit of entertainment as they plummet to their apparent deaths.
04:03Number 6. Robot, General Motors, Super Bowl 41
04:07General Motors wanted to make a statement about their obsession with quality,
04:15but they went about it in a highly contentious and controversial manner.
04:19A robot is working on an assembly line when it drops a screw,
04:22throwing it into a pit of inescapable despair. The robot loses its job, and then takes a number
04:28of menial opportunities like holding a speaker at a fast food drive-thru.
04:31Hopeless and despondent, the robot then throws itself off a bridge.
04:37What were you thinking, GM? The Super Bowl is a time for careless fun,
04:46not hopeless unemployment and death. The company eventually altered the commercial
04:50after a public outcry, removing the bridge-jumping sequence from all subsequent airings.
05:01Number 5. The Dancing Tongue, Coffee Mate, Super Bowl 59
05:08Mmm. We don't know why, but Super Bowl 59 had a bizarre amount of commercials devoted to body
05:16horror. In this one from Coffee Mate, a guy takes a sip of their new cold foam,
05:21prompting his happy tongue to go absolutely bananas. His head shoots back, his tongue
05:26slowly emerges from his mouth like some kind of alien creature, and it proceeds to dance
05:30around to a custom Shania Twain song. No, we don't know what's going on either. And then,
05:42just to make the commercial a little weirder, the guy's tongue detaches from his mouth and spins
05:47around while fireworks erupt around it. You see his buddy's facial expression? We think he speaks
05:52for everyone. Number 4. Evil Beaver, Miller Lite, Super Bowl 32
06:06Just like robots with human faces, we'll never get over humans doing animal things.
06:11Enter Miller Lite's Evil Beaver commercial. A group of pioneers make a small settlement
06:16in a forest, and to celebrate, they drink Miller Lite, just as the real pioneers did.
06:22Well, the new settlement doesn't go over well with the local beavers, who are portrayed as
06:31human men in beaver costumes. They attack the place on motorbikes, and one proceeds to eat
06:36away at the log house. It's a disturbing visual to say the least. The goofy 80s power ballad
06:42certainly helps lighten the tone, but just imagine if this was set to scary music. It'd give most
06:47horror movies a run for their money. Number 3. Boy, Nationwide, Super Bowl 49
07:09Nationwide said that this commercial was meant, quote, to start a conversation,
07:13not sell insurance. So you know it's gonna be bad. The commercial shows a young boy telling
07:18viewers that he'll never do certain things like travel the world or get married. Why not? Because
07:23he's dead. Yep. In some mis-aimed twist ending, we find out that the boy died in a vague household
07:33accident. Because this is what people want to watch while eating their pretzels and dip.
07:37The backlash was both fierce and immediate, with many people calling out Nationwide for their
07:42depressing stunt, and the company was forced to make a public statement. Well, they certainly
07:46started a conversation, just not the one they were hoping for. Number 2. The Seal Seal, Mountain Dew,
08:00Super Bowl 59. What on earth is this? Everyone knows about the Seal Seal by now,
08:12but just imagine watching the game and coming across this monstrosity for the first time.
08:17Seal's face is superimposed over a CGI seal, and he sings Kiss from a Lime,
08:22a parody of his popular Kiss from a Rose. We don't even know where to start with this thing.
08:34This is the definition of a fever dream. A visual and auditory onslaught that doesn't
08:39make a lick of sense and leaves us feeling horribly confused and soaked from the fear sweats.
08:44We don't know what Mountain Dew's obsession is with terrifying animal-human hybrids,
08:48but we wish they'd knock it off. Before we continue, be sure to subscribe to our channel

09:30Toobie are the kings of making weird commercials, and they topped themselves in 2025,
09:35crafting a commercial that would make David Lynch proud. A young boy is born with a head
09:39shaped like a cowboy hat, and he goes through life suffering mistreatment from other people
09:43with other head shapes. These fleshy scalps are extremely disturbing. There's no other word for
09:55it. We never thought we'd see young children with cowboy hats and wizard caps for heads,
09:59but the Super Bowl always delivers the unexpected. The commercial actually has a cute message,
10:04and its ending is quite touching. It's just too bad about those dang heads. We will never unsee
10:09this. Did we miss anything that has been ingrained in your memory? Let us know in the
