With Super Bowl commercial prices hovering around $4 million per 30 seconds Samsung has decided to throw their hat into the ring. Paul Rudd and Seth Rogen pitch their ideas for an actual two-minute long big game spot to Bob Odenkirk from the “Mr. Show.” The catch — the two actors can’t say the words “Super Bowl,” “The 49ers,” or “The Ravens.” (Which are actual rules.)

The Super Bowl ad will be directed by “Iron Man” director Jon Favreau, and if this is any indication, it’s going to be pretty good. [Source: BusinessInsider.com]
