5. Joe Greene “Hey Kid … Catch”
Joe Greene 1979 Coca-Cola commercial set the golden standard for what a Super Bowl ad is all about.

A young boy tries cheering Greene up by telling him he's the best ever while offering his bottle of coke. After multiple please, Greene reluctantly accepts the drink. He then returns the favor by throwing the kid his game worn jersey and uttering the most memorable line in Super Bowl commercial history.
The commercial was also parodied 30 years later for another Super Bowl ad, this time for Coca-Cola zero calories.
A commercial did pretty well when it's still making its mark over 40 years later.
4. Betty White “Snickers”

For Super Bowl 52 between the Philadelphia Eagles and New England Patriots in 2018, OBJ and the younger Manning brother starred in a hilarious 60-second dirty dancing inspired commercial.
