Today is February 8, 2016.  Sunday’s Super Bowl means commercials.  See some of the best.  Also, Beyonce steals halftime.

Super Bowl Commercials

Kevin Hart tracks his daughter on a date with his New Hyundai with carfinder technology.

Steve Harvey makes fun of his infamous Miss Universe flub for T-Mobile.

Mountain Dew went off the deep end in their ad for its Kickstart drink that promises “three awesome things combined.” When three friends are too tired to go out, the abominable Puppymonkeybaby creature emerges with a bucket of Kickstart, and leads them on a hypnotic conga line outside.

 

Beyonce steals Halftime

What happens if you happen to share the Super Bowl Half time show with the likes of Beyonce and Bruno Mars?  Well if your name is Chris Martin, you get turned into a meme.

Beyonce is taking her Formation World Tour to Raleigh this spring.

The tour announcement came moments after Beyonce rocked the Super Bowl half-time show with Bruno Mars and Coldplay.  Beyonce will play Carter-Finley Stadium on May 3. Tickets go on sale Monday, Feb. 22.
