Celebrities, humor, babies and cute animals will once again rule the commercial breaks on Sunday during Super Bowl XLVII, advertising's biggest showcase, when more than 111 million people are expected to tune in.

Marketers have spent millions and pulled out all the stops to "wow" viewers this year.

Which team did Donald Trump, Arnold Schwarzenegger and other stars say would win the game? Check out our photo gallery of 35 of the celebrities who made picks at http://bit.ly/celebpicks

Here are 10 spots they hope will make you skip the bathroom break or beer run during the big game:

1. Samsung Mobile's 2-minute ad in the fourth quarter called "The Big Pitch" stars "Knocked Up" actors Paul Rudd and Seth Rogen and was directed by Jon Favreau ("Iron Man"). The company has not released details about the ad's plot other than to say that it shows Rogen and Rudd on a "quest to become the next big thing." A teaser ad shows Rogen and Rudd trying to talk about a Super Bowl ad without saying the words "Super Bowl."
