The Super Bowl 2025 viewers have been left baffled by a Tom Brady and Snoop Dogg advert.
Super Bowl adverts have become as much of a spectacle as the game itself, with viewers eagerly anticipating the wild and often bizarre commercials. This year’s offerings included dancing tongues, Seal portrayed as his namesake animal, and Pete Davidson joking that “all famous people are aliens.”
However, one ad in particular raised eyebrows, featuring Snoop Dogg and ex-Super Bowl winner Tom Brady speaking out against hate. The spot, funded by the Foundation to Combat Anti-Semitism, struck many as distasteful, given both celebrities’ past associations with President Trump. A viewer remarked: “Snoop dogg and Tom Brady were the wrong ppl for that ad. Given…well you know.”
The commercial shows Snoop Dogg and Tom Brady confronting each other, trading lines like “I hate you because…” followed by reasons such as “because you look different” and “because I don’t understand you.” After their exchange, Snoop comments: “Man, I hate that things are so bad that we have to do a commercial about it,” to which Tom agrees, “Me too.”, reports the Mirror US.
The ad wraps up with the message “The reasons for hate are as stupid as they sound” alongside the hashtag StandUpToAllHate. Social media erupted with criticism towards Snoop Dogg and Tom Brady following their appearance in an ad amid links to President Trump, who was also present at the Super Bowl. Trump has come under fire for his derogatory remarks about Latino immigrants, labelling them as “rapists” and “criminals” to push his mass deportation strategy.
Furthermore, he has lately indicated intentions to seize control of the Gaza strip. Snoop Dogg’s performance at Trump’s Crypto Ball on January 17th drew intense backlash from fans and resulted in a loss of over 600,000 social media followers. Despite Trump’s frequent mentions of Tom, claiming his support, the ex-Patriots quarterback has not confirmed such endorsement.
In 2015, controversy flared when a “Make America Great Again” cap was seen in Tom’s locker during an interview. Social media users expressed their dismay at the commercial’s message versus its stars’ political affiliations: “Snoop Dogg doing a commercial about stopping Hate. Yet he was out there performing for Trump. What’s a good word for this?”.
A second added: “Tom Brady and Snoop Dogg doing a Super Bowl commercial about stopping hate while supporting Trump is so incredibly tone deaf and ironic.” Some were taken aback by the unexpected duo, with comments including: “Snoop Dogg and Tom Brady in a commercial for hate was not on my 2025 bucket list,” and simply “Snoop Dogg’s commercial just confused me..”
Securing a 30-second advert slot during the Super Bowl, the most viewed TV event of the year, will cost you a hefty average of $8 million. And that’s not even factoring in the additional costs of having celebrities like Snoop Dogg and Tom Brady make an appearance.
