The Super Bowl 50 commercials are unveiled with big celebrities taking part.  Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company create a Skittles portrait of Aerosmith front man Steven Tyler and Helen Mirren raises a bud for Anheuser-Busch to raise awareness of the dangers of drunk driving.  One of the funniest and most bizarre has to be actor Willem Dafoe in a Mars Chocolate spot where he impersonates Marilyn Monroe in the famous sequence in which her dress is blown up by the wind from a subway grate and in typical Dafoe fashion he seems agitated by the whole process until he gets his hands on a Snickers bar.
