Blog. Twitter. Email.

Almost as many people will watch the SuperBowl on Sunday to see the commercials between the plays, as will watch to see Brady v Manning.

It’s become a part of the culture of the game. It’s the day Madison Avenue cranks up it’s best and Monday newscasts are covered with extra free plays of the spots.

YouTube’s early days were fueled by our desire to watch these cool commercials. Since the spots are what we want, why not “leak” your commercial a few days in advance? Instead of getting lost in the post-game hype, you can capture some of the pre-game chatter.

Here are the spots that have surfaced so far:

Justin Timberlake for Pepsi.

Madonna and Shakira for Sunsilk.

That Madonna one is actually a duplicate posting, the original one was pulled because of “terms of use violation”?? An advertiser pulling a spot that people WANT to see, and they didnt have to pay for it? Colour me confused.

I’ll add more spots as they pop up.
