Super Bowl LV commercials lean into nostalgia, feature old favorites

But some top brands, like Coca-Cola and Budweiser, have opted out of ads this year. Pepsi isn't airing an ad either, but instead will focus on its halftime show sponsorship and promoting Mt. Dew Watermelon, PennLive reported.

Here are some of the ads that will appear when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Kansas City Chiefs break from the action Sunday.  

Bud Light

Bud Light is bringing back Post Malone, Cedric the Entertainer, Bud Knight and other characters from its past for its "Legends" ad. The brand is leaning on its old, iconic ads, like the "Real Men of Genius" campaign from the 1990s and early 2000s, Variety reported.

Bud Light execs say they hope the old characters bring some much-needed comfort and nostalgia to the audience. The brand began airing its old ads on recent NFL broadcasts with "Legends" graphics to jog viewers' memories and introduce the characters to people too young to recognize them. 

Cheetos Crunch Pop Mix

Cheetos' Super Bowl ad features actor Ashton Kutcher accusing his wife, Mila Kunis, of stealing his Cheetos. 

In a teaser to the ad, Kutcher walks into his office to find an envelope of evidence suggesting Kunis ate his Cheetos. "I knew it," he says, before the teaser ends. A second teaser shows Kunis rehearsing her denials, with the musician Shaggy providing advice. 

The Super Bowl commercial incorporates Shaggy's 2000 hit "It Wasn't Me" into a series of accusations and denials between the couple. 

Doritos 3D Crunch

Matthew McConaughey stars in the Frito-Lay commercial promoting the 3D Crunch chips and the resurrection of fan favorite flavors Spicy Ranch and Chili Cheese Nacho. 

Teasers to the ad, including one featuring Jimmy Kimmel and Mindy Kaling, hinted at Matthew McConaughey's new look.

Viewers finally get to his new appearance in the Super Bowl commercial. McConaughey has been transformed into #FlatMatthew, a two-dimensional version of himself similar to Flat Stanley. He stumbles through life until he eats a bite of the Doritos 3D Crunch chip and becomes three-dimensional again.

Michelob Ultra

The athlete-studded Michelob Ultra ad asks "Are you happy because you win, or do you win because you're happy?" 

Serena Williams, Anthony Davis, Peyton Manning, Brooks Koepka, Jimmy Butler and Alex Morgan are featured in the ad, though instead of playing sports, they are spending time with loved ones. 

Michelob Ultra Organic Seltzer

The seltzer ad calls out what's real and what's fake in the world around us as Don Cheadle has to face his celebrity look-alike. He says Michelob's low calorie, zero sugar beverage may look like the others, but it's much different. 

The commercial features a slew of celebrities and their doppelgangers, including Sylvester Stallone and Megan Fox. 

Scotts Miracle-Gro

John Travolta busts out his old "Grease" dance moves for the Scotts Miracle-Gro commercial and dances with his 20-year-old daughter Ella. 

Other celebrities in the commercial include Martha Stewart, NASCAR driver Kyle Busch, actor Carl Weathers, fitness instructor Emma Lovewell and Leslie David Baker, who played Stanley in "The Office."

Stella Artois

Lenny Kravitz stars in Stella Artois' "Heartbeat Billionaire" ad this year. Kravitz says each person is born with 2 billion heartbeats, which makes us all heartbeat billionaires.

Squarespace

Dolly Parton dusts off her hit song "9 to 5" with a twist for Squarespace: "5 to 9." The ad highlights people who are working to turn side projects into their own businesses. 

Squarespace said the song is intended to encourage people to invest in their side hustle and make it a reality.
