The Isle of Man: Are you ready for some football...commercials?

It's that time of year again!

It's the Super Bowl. The day of the year when hardcore and casual football fans a like get together, eat terribly unhealthy food, make silly wagers and cheer for (or against) a team they are often only vaguely familiar with.

But that's not all.

Some of the main attractions every year are the commercials. It's weird, because usually we all hate commercials. It's why we have DVRs. Skipping commercials has become the new American past-time. But it's different on Super Bowl Sunday.

Why? Because these commercials are almost always epically awesome! Every year, the major corporations battle to come with humorous and/or just flat-out attention grabbing ads. They pay millions of dollars for them, so you know they've made a big effort to make sure they absolutely kill.

Some are winners, some miss the mark. Either way, it's usually a lot of fun.

Nowadays, everything has gone viral. This now includes the Super Bowl commercials. In an innovative move to ostensibly get viewers to become familiar with the ad spots before gameday, the companies have released the ads online for you to watch them.

I saved you the work and picked out some of the finer inclusions.

After the jump, you can check out my favorites from this year's batch of Super Bowl commercials.
