You've got your brewskis, a big tub of corn and a space reserved on the couch. You are officially good to go for Sunday's big event: Three hours of the world's most anticipated commercials, promoting products with celebrities, gimmicks and billion-dollar ad budgets. Oh yeah, there's also some kind of sporting game being played in between the spots for soda and Web sites.
When you watch Sunday's Super Bowl, be sure to keep an eye out for this year's watercooler-worthy ads that everyone will be talking about on Monday. But first, take a look at our list of these all-time champions.
Apple, "1984" (1984)
This commercial was first broadcast during Super Bowl Xviii on January 22, 1984, and has never been broadcast again since. At the time, few would have guessed that the brief-but-epic spot branding Apple computers as modern and groundbreaking would launch a company that is now synonymous with innovative computing.
