Do you remember when we used to watch TV for the show and leave during the commercials to find more root beer or chicken wings? It seems advertisers have become savvy to this and now they are making commercials that get people talking. And it looks like they have found a new way to get people talking - the trend this year is for advertisers to release trailers for their Super Bowl ads.  Yeah - they are releasing portions of a commercial as if it were a movie or some other event that we are looking forward to...and in reality, we kind of are.

Honda's "Ferris Bueller" ad was released this week and some others came out last week.

--Here are a few more Super Bowl ads that have surfaced online:

#1.) There's an Acura commercial featuring JERRY SEINFELD, the Soup Nazi from "Seinfeld", and JAY LENO.  In the ad, Jerry finds out he's second on the waiting list for the new Acura, and tries to bribe the #1 guy to give up his spot.  It's pretty great.

(--The two-minute "extended version" is up on Acura's YouTube channel.)

#2.)  REGIS PHILBIN pops up in a Pepsi Max ad about a Coke Zero delivery guy who "cheats" on Coke for Pepsi.  JENNIFER NETTLES of the country group SUGARLAND covered HANK WILLIAMS' "Your Cheatin' Heart" for the spot.

(--A 45-second version is up on Pepsi's YouTube channel.)

#3.) There's also an H&M commercial featuring DAVID BECKHAM in his underwear.  Basically, he just stands there and looks hot while the camera moves around his body.  (--You can find it on H&M's YouTube channel.)

(--So what do you think?  Are you any less excited for the Super Bowl commercials now that they're hitting the Internet early . . . or doesn't it matter?)

Recap the greatest ads from previous years or if you are still interested in the actual game here are a few of the highlights over the years.
