CHICAGO – It may be three full days until Super Bowl Sunday, but advertisements that will be playing during commercials of the big game are hitting the internet like wild. We already gave you a sneak peek of “The Avengers” preview, and now we have the full advertisements for two Paramount films: “The Dictator” and “G.I. Joe Retaliation.”

The first ad for “The Dictator” displays several infamous leaders that have died in the last few years, followed by Sacha Baron Cohen’s character telling the audience he has bought NBC and already knows the final score of the Super Bowl. The ad follows with his character paying Megan Fox (who plays herself) for sexual favors and a track and field race where Cohen’s dictator uses a gun to shoot down other racers.

The “G.I. Joe Retaliation” ad shows Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson quoting rapper Jay-Z before a series of action shots from the new movie (where that quoted song plays underneath). The action includes ninja stars, samurai fights on the side of a cliff, and Bruce Willis holding down the trigger of a machine gun as the car drifts across the screen.

“The Dictator” will hit theaters this May 11 and “G.I. Joe Retaliation” will come out on June 29. Until then, check out the Super Bowl ads for both movies before they premiere this Sunday:
