Despite a record price of $4.5 million for a 30 second commercial, Sunday’s Super Bowl is sold out. The Super Bowl usually draws more than 100 million viewers in the U.S. alone.  Most viewers wait to see the creativity of the big game adds.

This kitty was named Hulk, not because he’s angry, but because he is so big.  He’s personality is more like Hulk’s alter ego, Bruce Banner.
