While we all gather 'round the television in the name of football for this Super Bowl Sunday, there's one part of the broadcast that's just as memorable as the game itself: the commercials. Last year's Bowl saw its fair share of memorable musical ads, from a claymation Eminem ranting about why he won't do a commercial for Lipton, to Justin Bieber and Ozzy Osbourne teaming up (and both dissing the Biebs) for Best Buy. But what about the odd and shameless world of the celeb ads that most Americans never see?

 

'The Music of Super Bowl XLVI' Main

 

As we gear up for the commercials we'll all be talking about this weekend, we bring you 20 rockin' commercials we promise you've never seen before, all from foreign countries. Take our guided tour through obscure international spots (Michael Jackson moonwalking around a scooter), stars laughably mis-matched to products (uh, Karen Carpenter hawking chocolate), and even an over the top multi-diva gladiator action (Britney Spears, Beyonce and Pink battling Enrique Iglesias for Pepsi).

 

next: David Bowie for Vittel Water

 

Beyonce and J.Lo for Pepsi

 

 

Beyonce and J.Lo star as action stars a la "Charlie's Angels" in this foreign Pepsi commercial that first aired in 2005. First the two pop superstars fight each other ninja-style, but soon band together to wear sexy leather outfits and beat up bad guys. Oh yeah, and they drink Pepsi afterwards to quench their thirst. Uh, makes total sense.
