Gawker has put together a nice list of commercials dubbed “The 25 Most Memorable Super Bowl Ads.” From Budweiser’s Zebra Ref to Pepsi’s P. Diddy truck to Anheuser Busch’s weepy (in a good way) military tribute to Reebok’s Terry Tate to Robert Goulet messing with people’s stuff for Emerald Nuts to FedEx’s Stick and Castaway to Career Builder’s Monkeys to Christopher Reeves’ appearance for Nuveen to Britney Spears in her prime (such as it was) for Pepsi to ETrade’s Wazoo to Monster’s When I Grow Up to Budweiser’s Frogs to Kevin Federline’s Nationwide fantasy to classic Cindy Crawford for Pepsi to GM’s suicidal robot to, of course, Apple’s 1984, it’s a stellar collection.

Now if only we could have one year where every spot in the game were as good as these. Well, at least we can imagine. Check out the entire collection. Unfortunately, after viewing, Sunday may be a big let down.

Received Pronunciation, the accent linguists still nickname the Queen’s English, took shape inside a handful of England’s most expensive private schools, and it remains such a reliable marker of that background that a stranger can often place someone’s education within a single sentence.
