Ahead of Super Bowl LIV taking place this Sunday, February 2 at 3:30 PM PT, the creators of Adult Swim's Rick and Morty have shared a new fourth wall breaking commercial set to air during the big game. The TV ad, posted to Adult Swim's official YouTube channel, begins with a deadpan commercial for Pringles. Rick and Summer are chitchatting about the ad as Morty, carrying an assortment of Pringles cans, enthusiastically asks if anyone wants to stack Pringles flavors to make new ones. Rick sniffs out the elephant in the room, which happens to be Morty who is revealed to be a Pringles-controlled robot, and comes to the stark realization that he and Summer are trapped in a Pringles commercial. It's short, lasting only 30-seconds long, but it's hilarious and unsettling in the way Rick and Morty typically is. Check out the ad below. This Sunday's Super Bowl will be between the Kansas City Chiefs (14-4) and San Francisco 49ers (15-3) and takes place at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. Jennifer Lopez and Shakira are scheduled to perform during halftime, with pop artist Demi Lovato singing the National Anthem. Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland wrapped up the first half of Rick and Morty's fourth season on December 15. The season, which kicked off on November 10, consists of 10 episodes and is part of a 70-episode deal with Adult Swim. Simultaneously, Roiland is working on a new claymation series with upcoming streaming service Quibi (short for "quick bites"), a Hollywood-based start-up targeting mobile devices. The second half of Rick and Morty Season 4 is said to return "sooner than later," according to an interview with Summer's voice actor Spencer Grammer. An official date has yet to be announced.
