Bryan Cranston Stars In Absurd Mountain Dew Super Bowl Ad That Remakes The Shining

Super Bowl 54 is coming up soon. There is a football game, of course, but another big draw for the event are all the commercials. We've now seen another one, as Mountain Dew has released its big game commercial hyping its new zero sugar version.

Mountain Dew recruited Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston for the ad, which sees the actor remake the "Here's Johnny!" scene from The Shining, basically. Cranston plays Jack Torrance in that horrible scene where he's trying to kill his wife. Except in this version, Cranston offers his wife a Mountain Dew Zero, and she accepts and everything is just fine. Phew.

Be sure to stick through until the end for a special surprise that is quite unnerving. Here's the video:

Mountain Dew is not the first company to release its Super Bowl ad early--check out GameSpot's roundup of all the commercials revealed so far. Super Bowl broadcaster Fox is charging $5.6 million for 30 seconds of airtime during the Super Bowl, so this new Mountain Dew ad and the rest did not come cheap.

Super Bowl 54 takes place on Sunday, February 2 from the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. The San Francisco 49ers are facing off against the Kansas City Chiefs in what's expected to be high-scoring, action-packed game.

Every year EA Sports releases the results of its Super Bowl simulation, but that hasn't happened yet. The simulation has a spotty track record, so even when the results do come, there is a good reason to doubt them.

Among the bug fixes, Cao Song has been giving a personality change so that he's no longer identified as an Incompetent Leader (good for him). An issue where generals and heroes were not spawning at full strength has also been fixed, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei will no longer spawn twice in Liu Bei's campaign, and Guo Jia's spawning age has been corrected. Crashes are now less likely to happen in existing save games for the new court feature, too, but it's still recommended that players start a new campaign. Particular attention has also been paid to Liu Hong's campaign, including fixing a bug that reduced fervour rather than increasing it when the Tax Collector building was constructed, reducing the starting strength of the Imperial Army, and helping to rebalance the amount of money avail...
