Promising that new commercial will satisfy fans’ hunger for a laugh with its new advertising campaign, the new Snickers bar commercial will debut during the first commercial break of Super Bowl XLIV.

The new campaign, which will include a series of print, television, cinema and digital advertisements, was created by BBDO New York. Additional advertisements will begin appearing in late February 2010.
