Advertisers Eschew Politics for Humor in Super Bowl Commercials

• Last year’s Super Bowl featured several ads that were political in nature. This year, companies focused more on humor and nostalgia.

• An ad for the automaker Ram that used a Martin Luther King Jr. speech drew criticism online.

• Cindy Crawford, Peter Dinklage, Morgan Freeman and Jeff Bezos were among the famous faces featured in ads during the game.

• The New York Times provided live, drive-by-drive updates and analysis from Super Bowl LII.

Peter Dinklage, who stars in “Game of Thrones,” appeared in a commercial for a new spicy flavor of Doritos chips.
