Billy Idol, Alicia Silverstone, Steve Martin, Ben Stiller, Jon Hamm, Will Ferrell, Brie Larson ... [View all]

Adam Driver, Kevin Bacon, John Travolta, Ludacris, Kevin Hart, Amy Schumer, Doja Cat, Pete Davidson, Serena Williams, Tony Romo, Bryan Cranston, Arron Paul, Joan Jett, Ozzy Osbourne, and a few other "celebrities" will be appearing in commercials during the Super Bowl.

Start with the $7 million price tag for one thirty second spot, add the cost of actually shooting the commercial, the ad agency fees and commissions paid, and the price of the above talent, and the total cost of these ads have to be running anywhere from $8 to $12 million a piece.

Just ... insane.
