Time Warner's 2013 Super Bowl commercial features some nifty cross promotion with the AMC show 'The Walking Dead.'

Though audiences may not be quite as excited for 'The Lone Ranger' as they are for 'Iron Man 3' or 'Fast and Furious 6,' we think this 'Lone Ranger' Super Bowl trailer could change their mind.

Even if you saw the 'Star Trek Into Darkness' Super Bowl trailer, you're going to want to watch it again.

Did you really think the biggest show on television would be completely absent from the Super Bowl? Of course not! Although there won't be any actual 'The Walking Dead' trailers playing during the big game (you can watch the latest one right here, though), a few Time Warner Cable commercials have borrowed the iconography (and a certain cast member) from the show in an amusing way.

The 2013 Super Bowl commercial for the much anticipated video game 'God Of War: Ascension' doesn't feature any game-play. Instead the spot focuses on the back-story of the game's main character, tough guy Kratos.

In a 2013 Super Bowl commercial for milk, we learn that Dwayne Johnson aka "The Rock" derives much of his power from cow juice.

Male grooming product maker AXE catches plenty of heat for its over-the-top ad campaigns. Its 2013 Super Bowl commercial for AXE Apollo is in lockstep with the company's irreverent tone.

It's the biggest sporting event of the year, and the ads of Super Bowl 2013 are living up to their expectations. Thank goodness, because the amount of money spent on Super Bowl commercials makes it really disappointing when they're not good...
