Samsung has aired a teaser for its Super Bowl ad that features Seth Rogen and Paul Rudd looking for a way to avoid being sued by 'everybody, nobody, who knows'.

Seth Rogen and Paul Rudd are called in to pitch their ideas for Samsung's Big Game ad for The Next Big Thing, but they run into some hurdles.

this will start to become like the mac vs pc commercials, instead will be samsung vs apple

Wow, the reason why they need all that power is because Android runs like crap on slower cpus. It's not a race to make the more powerful CPU. Its about making profits for these companies. Don't get sucked into the hype of the so-called data that you read about Samsung selling more phones. Shipping and actual sales are 2 different things.

I think it's a dig from apple

Samsung might have power but no software. Just pay the fine.

I don't think it's really a dig at Apple. I just think it was a funny ad, making more jokes about the Superbowl thing than about Apple.

Actually it is. They're saying that they can't use "trademark" names in their next commercial because they might get sued for using the names. It is a "dig" on Apple because Apple sues every company big or small that violates their "patented" products or services. So this commercial makes fun of Apple

I can't believe this is a commercial... For a commercial....

Jack Black - February 2, 2013 at 2:55am

Apple is struggling and their stock price reflects it. Now maybe if Jobs was alive ....

Nice add!!! Even tough I hate Samsung mobile (the tvs and printers are good Lol)

lol08 - February 2, 2013 at 8:07am

Don't forget their other home appliances

The truth of the matter is,when you are guilty you always dwell and bringing the guilt. Samsung is not realizing that they actually helping Apple by always mentioning their names.In every commercial. Apple doesnt even need to run a commercial like this. They dont want to admit that in fact they are guilt as charged.

Totally loved it... So much for freedom of speech or in this case.. advertise.. lol!! Can I say freedom without being sued? Anyway.. loved it..

Dig at Apple? Maybe intended to be. In fact, though there are two companies in the US that sue FAR more people for copyright issues than Apple could ever shake a stick at. Those two companies are MLB and, wait for it, NFL. So, in fact, this ad is right on target.

After reading the title of this commercial I was kind of worried but after seeing its just a weak Samsung commercial, selling an underwhelming line of their phones. That could've been a Super Bowl commercial devastating to Apple

Breaking bad ftw

matrixmaniac - February 1, 2013 at 6:40pm

First Samsung ad that doesn't actually suck... great! :-)

Ken7.01 - February 1, 2013 at 7:15pm

Samsung just pay your billion-dollar fine and stop crying.

Highlander711 - February 1, 2013 at 6:31pm

This is so funny!! The only problem that is you didn't read the last sign, you would not know what is selling. It could be an ad for any company in the USA.

Dave - February 1, 2013 at 6:30pm

Better call Saul!

Walter White - February 1, 2013 at 7:18pm

Yay breaking bad reference.
