2024's round of Super Bowl ads didn't bring any huge gotcha moments like Tubi's remote control trick from 2023, but viewers got to see more than beer and snacks. Verizon and Tony Hale helped Beyoncé break the internet, and Ben Affleck crashed his wife's studio session in an attempt to launch his rap career. Aliens were also a recurring theme throughout the evening, as Squarespace, Apartments.com and a trailer for A Quiet Place: Day One made them front and center. Keep scrolling to rewatch some of the funniest, entertaining and heartwarming ads of the night -- including some that spotlighted AI technology.
