Super Bowl pop-culture element
Watching Super Bowl commercials is an annual pastime of many Americans, and thanks to the internet, it is also popular around the world. Therefore, Super Bowl attracts many high-profile companies to advertise and enhance their visibility. In 2025, the companies which showcased their products included Booking.com, Budweiser, and Novartis, just to name a few. The average cost of a 30 second commercial hit a new record that year, reaching 8 million dollars.
One of the major attractions of Super Bowl is the Halftime Show, which represents a fundamental link to pop culture, and has popular singers performing. The Halftime Show has been sponsored by Pepsi since 2013, and saw U.S. rapper Kendrick Lamar leading the stage in 2025. In 2019, the halftime show was veiled in controversy linked to Colin Kaepernick's protests against police brutality and claims of NFL's unjust treatment of the player. As a result the show was reported to garner negative reviews and the lowest rating in a decade.
