Super Bowl. — The Commercials

[qwksilver]

OK, That Pringle commercial was funny. Maybe, 1 too many margaritas.

[Ralonzo]

8:58

- Ah you fell for the old Chinese Pringle-trap

- Bud Light Seltzer Hard Soda. What ever happened to beer flavored beer?

- ANOTHER electric car. This time from Kia. 

[Big Turk]

LMAO!!! The Dr Evil commerical by GM was freaking amazing!

[H2o]

Tired of the dumb electric vehicle commercials already. 

[The Jokeman]

Wow they got the whole Austin Powers cast cast together.

 

Zach Braff didn't age well, Donald Faison did.

- Jeff Bezos is apparently designing electric cars, and taking over the world with them

- EToro, More Crypto, but how are they mining anything if they're using all the electricity for cars?

- T-Mobile 15-second musical

- A movie with Owen Wilson they thoughtfully placed on Peacock away from me

Being an Electric SUV I think there is a limit of being able to haul 3 Tonys with it. Maybe 2 if one of them is Fat Tony.

 

7:33

- Rocket Homes Barbie. Where’s Blackrock Bob with the 50k over ask offer

- Disney plus dressing goats in high heels and fishnet stockings, Hey it’s 2022 anything goes right?

- Annual WeatherTech ad

Yeah, I loved the Sopranos show, but it seemed like a weird connection for selling an electric pickup truck. It’s really about the star power, but funny to me regardless. I don’t expect the peak of electric truck sales to be in urban New Jersey, or the average buyer to be a Sopranos fan.

Busch Lite should have let me forget about Kenny G.

You don't want to rely on an EV when you're upstate digging a hole.

 

 

9:11 is locals, beer break, pee break.

[Draconator]

Kenny G in a Superbowl commercial = fail

[Buffalo Barbarian]

Scarlet Johnson lol

 

 

[Ralonzo]

9:20

- Alexa, go ahead and be my AI, i wasn't using this brain for anything anyway

- Quickbooks and Mailchimp

- Booking.com 

[qwksilver]

Amazon can spend some cash for Commercials. Well done.

[Ralonzo]

9:26

- someone saving money using b&w film. Cutwater. Actually a can of mai tai on the golf course on a hot day is pretty good

- Vroom which is totally not Carvana which  is totally not Carmax

- AMC network

- Irish Spring

[Buffalo Barbarian]

Those MFs gonna put the final season of better call Saul on AMC + 😠😠

 

 

[The Wiz]

Thought it was a McDonald's commercial when they said "the ice cream machine is still broken"

[The Jokeman]

Jerod Mayo the new Terry Tate.

Edited February 14, 2022 by The Jokeman

[Ralonzo]

9:34

- Eugene Levy has yet to address the caterpillars crawling across his forehead while shilling for Nissan

- Taco Bell clown world. Del taco ftw anyway

- Hellmann's

Mayo. Hellmann's. Now I get it.

[Augie]

The commercials have NOT been as good as the marginally exciting game, but they were FAR better than the halftime show. Ugh….

[Ralonzo]

9:43

- The requisite Clydesdale ad for Bud

- Sam's Club

- Greenlight shows what it's like to be Elon Musk out shopping

- HBO Max with some tasteful 70's Hot Chocolate

I don’t pay much attention to the commercials, but I didn’t love any of them. The game turned out to be exciting at the end. My point was more to the garbage (IMO) halftime show. Since I’m not at the stadium, I don’t need that much time to refresh my drink and hit the head. Rap and disco should be tied together, and flushed forever.

I never listen to the half time show , but play death metal over it and pretend they are singing it 😂😂

Did you see the small print?  Something like "not authorized by the FDA for home use" disclaimer.

- Rakuten who used to be buy.com but decided Rakuten is easier to remember

 

It was also ebates.com in a previous life.  I use it, make some decent money with it.  

[BigDingus]

I kind of enjoyed the Paul Rudd Lays commercial.

 

Aside from that, just was keeping an eye out for new movie/TV trailers. Doctor Strange & Lord of the Rings were about the only ones I remember though.

I hate myself but I opened the QR code that was bouncing around

Commercials were absolutely awful. Electric cars etc . “ trust electricity” . Might be the worst batch ever , even worse than the last Rams SB. 

[Stanley Lombardi]

The commercials looked like C or C+ for an 8th grade video project.

Great city car. Not great for long distances of over 250 miles. Batteries in the loop to produce 1000 Miles that would be AWESOME-m

I have to disagree with both of these statements. I have had an EV (Tesla) over 18 months and I primarily drive it long distances…not locally. Superchargers everywhere on the east coast. Quick stops every 4 hrs of driving.
i am selling my Tesla next week because the 4680 batteries will be deployed in Teslas later this year. These batteries will reduce car weight, add 25% mileage increase, and enable quicker re-charge. It will be more difficult to sell mine once these are released. Actually sold mine for more than I paid. Will purchase another Tesla once new battery is out & chip shortage is over. But 1,000 mile battery range is still quite a bit of time from commercial production.

I wrote this earlier in the thread before the game was over, but there was nothing I saw all night that I enjoyed, will remember, or would want to watch a second time.

 

Now that the game is over, I would repeat the same.

 

The commercials used to be funny, or clever, or huge and cinematic in scope in quality, and you wanted to talk about them the next day and see them again.

 

I don't recall it being that way in probably at least 5 years now.

 

Add the commercials to the list of reasons why the SB is now totally over-hyped and overrated.

That is because you and I are no longer the target market. Once you are outside the coveted 18-30 range, or whatever it is these days, your opinion no longer matters. 

[BillsfaninChicago]

I thought they were pretty good this year. Granted I was drinking more than usual so that may factor in.

I'm envious. I live in Colorado where nearly every trip I typically make would run into charging issues. I'm waiting. No fun buying a new toy and not being able to take it on a long roadtrip.

Missed that. Too bad. But I did catch a few seconds of Wreckless Eric in another commercial.

 

When I was a young boy
My mama said to me
"There's only one girl in the world for you
And she probably lives in Tahiti."
 

[Big Blitz]

Everything remotely entertaining tonight once again hearkened back to a little 80s 90s nostalgia.  

 

Sopranos 

Jurassic World bringing back the Goldblum

Austin Powers 

Verizon Cable Guy

Barbie Doll House - I saw He-Man and Skeletor 

Dolly Parton

Halftime show was underwhelming but if you liked it and many did - 90s 

 

Everything else shocker - not funny, sucked.  

 

Oh and how could I forget...

 

Defense still wins championships

I get my beer during commercials, they sounded pretty good
