For Super Bowl LV fans who have little interest in the actual game and care more about its commercials, you’ve come to the right place.

But that left plenty of airtime for newcomers to the Super Bowl ad blitz.

One thing is certain: The stars are still coming out to play.

Fully represented this year as usual: the celebrity cameos that make the ads conversation starters — or occasionally a questionable move in the star’s career.

(Still, there’s no dearth of commercials for snack foods, alcohol and delivery services.)
