Michael Bubl’s Super Bowl commercial has been revealed in full – and he’s announced additional tour dates, as well as revealing the air date for his upcoming NBC special.The commercial, which will air in the third quarter of the big game on Sunday, is a play on the similarity between Michael’s last name and the name of Pepsi’s flavored sparkling water brand, bubly. Michael walks into a store, sees a display full of bubly cans and says, “Ooh. Blackberry Bubl, my favorite!” A woman responds, “You mean bubly.””No, I mean Bubl,” he responds.”You’re Michael Bubl, that’s a bubly,” she corrects him.An employee wearing a name tag that says “Dave” joins in, saying, “She’s right, Michael Bubl. It’s pronounced…” “Bubl, I know,” Michael interrupts. “Thanks – Dav.”The end of the spot shows him sitting on the floor, using a Sharpie to drawing an “E” with an accent on every bubly can.Meanwhile, the new tour dates start in L.A. on July 9th and wrap up July 24th at New York’s Madison Square Garden. The new tickets go on sale February 11th and each ticket comes with either a CD or digital version of Michael’s current album Love. The tour starts February 13th in Tampa, Florida.Finally, NBC will air its seventh Michael Bubl special on March 20th. No word yet on a title or theme.

OneRepublic and Jeep have extended their relationship with a new Super Bowl commercial, which the automaker has released ahead of Sunday’s big game.The ad is called “More Than Just Words,” and it’s described as a “illustrative narration” of “The Star Spangled Banner.” It features a montage of American life that corresponds with the national anthem’s lyrics.In the clip, Ryan Tedder and the rest of OneRepublic enter a recording studio, where Ryan starts to sing, “Oh say, can you see.” Each word he sings is illustrated by an image – for example, as he sings “can,” someone opens up the pull-tab of a soda can. When he sings “see,” there is a woman looking around a city at night time.The band continues playing the song as an instrumental version with images that illustrate each word, such as “light,” “hail,” “dawn,” “stars,” “wave” and more.The ad ends with Ryan singing, “O’er the land of the free/and the home of the brave.” The last image, illustrating “brave,” is of an elderly man in his army uniform, saluting in a mirror. The ad is designed to hit you square in the feels.
