Go Daddy, Super Bowl XXXIX Poking fun at the previous year’s wardrobe malfunction involving Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake, the 2005 Go Daddy commercial featured a busty woman testifying before officials as her top keeps falling down.

Snickers, Super Bowl XLI In this banned ad from 2007, two men are working on a car when one decides to snack on a Snickers.

PETA, Super Bowl XLIII Never one to shy away from sexy ads featuring nude or scantily clad women, in 2009, PETA ran a racy ad featuring several women having rather intimate moments with vegetables, before proclaiming that vegetarians have better sex. NBC decided it was too much and yanked the ad. <a target="_blank" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqW7B3-Ptlo">WATCH HERE</a>

Go Daddy, Super Bowl XLII Once again opting for an overtly sexual ad, this 2008 Go Daddy commercial featured supermodels showing off their beavers. But when race-car driver Danica Patrick emerges from her car, she pulls her zipper down and says she doesn’t need to do the same. The suggestive commercial came on the heels of stars like Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears flashing their crotches to paparazzi. <a target="_blank" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7X0UuA1pZ4">WATCH HERE</a>

Bud Light, Super Bowl XLII This 2008 ad featuring deli workers talking about “cutting the cheese” was deemed too controversial for television viewers and got the ax. <a target="_blank" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iBY7Yirq60">WATCH HERE</a>  

Bud Light, Super Bowl XL In 2006, the “Good Dog” ad was banned from television when it featured a well-trained dog biting his owner’s neighbor in a move that forces him to drop his beer. <a target="_blank" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euAk2LaN9Go">WATCH HERE</a>

AshleyMadison.com, Super Bowl XLIII In 2009, the site promoting extramarital affairs sought to run an ad during the game but to no avail. The request was shot down by all networks.

Bud Light, Super Bowl XLI Bud Light sought to run ads featuring “Apology Bot 3000” apologizing to restaurant patrons after a chef serves them poison food in 2007. To make up for the news of their impending death, Apology Bot offers them a few ice cold Buds. It wasn’t Apology Bot’s first appearance, but he still didn’t make the cut. <a target="_blank" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYIN-b8qjmo">WATCH HERE</a>
