@OldCatLady yes, they were pretty lame without the Clydesdales I thought the funniest commercial was Jason Momoa (Rocket Mortgage) but also the Hyundai “smaht cah” ad (I noticed Bob Wahlberg – Mark and Donnie’s brother – driving the first car).
My favorite heart tug was, of course, Weather Tech and his dog Scout. Close seconds were Google “help me remember” and New York Life “4 words for Love”.
Also enjoyed the actual game!! Nice come-from-behind Win!
PS: CONGRATULATIONS!!! You did good
Is this you???
@llangley I wasn’t even watching TV. I was in the kitchen chopping vegetables and that Google commercial had me all teary eyed. I hadn’t even started chopping the onions yet.
@DrWorm The hundreds aren’t legal currency, but I can buy lottery tickets with the real ones. Besides, the party food was outstanding, and the crowd was lively. So show us what you won!
TiVo Tip: TiVo has flipped its “ad skip” feature into what it calls “GameSkip” so that you can skip all those pesky game interruptions and get straight into your ad-watching pleasure.
Apple “HAL 9000” commercial.
Created for the Super Bowl in year 2000?
Marvelously effective, because everyone recognized HAL 9000, but the terms “Apple” and “Macintosh” did not appear in the copy until the very end, so viewers did not know for certain until the end of the ad what product was being advertised.
Yuk, yuk, yuck. The game was lame, and the commercials (except for the few mentioned above) were truly unremarkable. And OMG, Demi (the anthem) was terrible, and Shakira and J-Lo were horrible, except for shaking their (respective) booties, which is “not my thing,” lol. (Maybe some of our distaff commenters found it, erm, interesting.) Waste of time, I should have turned to Netflix!
@cbl_wv I actually liked the half-time show for a change - Shakira is a pretty remarkable performer (I think J-Lo may have had to go off for oxygen a couple times trying to keep up with her) and getting some serious latin-infused music and performers obviously having a good time sure beat the usual geriatric rock groups of late …
@cbl_wv@stolicat
Uh, J-Lo is 50 and Shakira is 43. They’re both closing in on retirement age at a half-century and into solid GILF territory. Semi-geriatric, but not youthful or in the same cohort as the players by a long stretch.
@cbl_wv@mike808 Hey now, they’re just barely middle-aged. At least from my perspective. I was referring to the geezers in their 60s and 70s plodding through their old hits.
Seems like this year they really blurred the line between the commercials and the telecast - before it was a football game with commercials, this year at times it seemed like a big inter-connected commercial with a football game.
I half expected the Tide pods stained shirt guy to show up on one of the sidelines …
@mike808 Glad we shut off before that - it goes to what I said, they’re not even trying to pretend anymore that there’s some distinction, some separation between the performance and the advertisement - it’s no longer “And now a word from our sponsors…”
❤️❤️❤️ Sam Elliot ❤️❤️❤️ Proof that whatever Gods
or God you worship loves us
@surfeit yup!!
@surfeit Oh that 'stache…
@surfeit @tinamarie1974 @oldcatlady how is it that he seems to just get better looking all the time? sigh
@moonhat @OldCatLady @surfeit I think it is the voice…
@moonhat @OldCatLady @surfeit @tinamarie1974
Good game, good commercials even if no Clydesdales, and I won the party game pool!

@OldCatLady Congratulations, I guess. I only count $5.50 U.S. currency and a Canadian dime.
A whole bunch of play money, three spelling bee medals and a slug(?) won’t get you very far.

@mike808 too bad youtube tv doesn’t have that. That would be perfect!

@cbl_wv @stolicat
Very respectable GILF booties, after researching the footage carefully.
Shakira for the win.

you’re an all-star
@cbl_wv @stolicat
So, like Steven Tyler on the Grammys geriatric?
@cbl_wv @mike808
I was referring to the difficulty and choreography of the dance routines, but you can consider that also…
@cbl_wv Why was the game itself lame? It tied for second biggest comeback ever and the largest 4th quarter comeback.
@cbl_wv @DrWorm
simple, it’s a brutal american sport that causes traumatic brain injury to many young men every year.
Yeah, I hate football

@stolicat Oh, he showed up during the Masked Singer premier. Lame.

Did y’all see the FB group commercial?
Sly!!
