More and more Super Bowl ads are starting to sneak into the public spotlight as the game draws near.  Two hitting the airwaves today are sponsored by foreign automakers and have fun with the longevity of a football player and the absurdity of extreme environmentalists.

The photo above shows quarterback Brett Favre appearing in a Hyundai Super Bowl ad highlighting 10-year/100,000-mile warranty and all-new 2011 Sonata.  The ad takes viewers 10 years into the future and shows Favre, the long-time NFL quarterback famous for his on-again, off-again retirement plans, winning the 2020 Most Valuable Player award at the age of 50.

Green Police focused on “protecting and conserving the Earth” are now a part of modern life — or at least that’s what a series of tongue-in-cheek public service announcements by Audi would have us believe.  Audi Green Police videos like the one above offer guidelines that would purportedly save a billion pounds of napkins from landfills each year if we only we would avoid “napkin abuse.”

An Audi Super Bowl ad will tout the environmental friendliness of the clean diesel A3 TDI, Green Car Journal‘s 2010 Green Car of the Year®.
