Watching the Super Bowl has become not only about the game, but also about the high dollar commercials that run during the game. These 15, 30, and 60-second time slots continue to go up in price and are now worth millions. In the past 43 Super Bowl games many different ads have run featuring celebrities, but many that stick out, and that have stuck with the company for years, are ads featuring animals.

According to msnbc.com 10 of the most memorable animal pitchmen have been:

Nissan pigeons – first appearance 1997, life expectancy 1 year.
