Super Bowl!
 

Yay Supper Bowl Sunday!

Just talked to my bro. He's watching the pre-show (4 hours?!) and is ordering a pizza later.
He has a whole box of cans in the fridge. Cans of Coke.
Still, it makes him happy. The only thing I envy is the pizza delivery.

I'm frying 7.5lbs of hot wings in preparation. Dinosaur BBQ Wango Tango for the bulk of them and maybe I'll use Wegmans Wing Sauce on the rest. Pre-game is pretty weak, I guess Obama/ O'Reilly is next.

I was unacountably possessed with the desire to throw a beef stew in the crock pot. Even cooking on high, the game will be over before it's finished. I'll snack instead.

Was I not paying attention or did Christina Aguilera totally miss "O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?"

wow. Christina Aguilera's version sucked; and she messed up the words! She forgot the "o'er the ramparts" part

The Lions beat the Packers.... jus' sayin'

Commercials - 1st Quarter
 

Commericals 1st Quarter

Bud Light Kitchen Renovation - Lame

Doritos Pug - predictable.

Audi Escape old Luxury - The Kenny G thing was darn funny, rest of the commercial too complex.

Bud Light swordsman - Lame.

Chevy Silverado Lassie - Cute.Possibly in running for favorite.

Fast and the Furious Five - whatever. is Vin putting on some weight there?

Pepsi Max tease the geek - hitting someone in the crotch is always funny

doritos take care of the fish - weird.

Hyundai Elantra - not special. Haven't they been running this all week?

Kia Optima - Now that's what a car commercial should be. Unexpected, clever, Aztecs didn't have to invent the wheel, they just stole one from the aliens. Nice.

Brisk - CGI cuteness, little else to recommend it.

Bridgestone Reply all - who hasn't wanted/needed to do that

Chevy Volt making history - visually interesting

Go Daddy.co just wrong.

Staples - Easy to forget

interesting; I don't think I got all the same commercials as you. Or maybe I was not paying as much attention as I thought

haha! two winners in a row!

Coke saves the day; and

mini!Darth!

I missed one ... Someone please tell me that Cowboys versus Aliens is just a joke and is not a real movie. That can't be a real movie. Please.

oooh, but I want to see it! it's real, too

2nd Quarter Commercials
 

Budweiser gunslinger - atmospheric. great beginning, stupid ending.

Teleflora Faith Hill - lame

new Transformers Movie - Nice Explosions

BMW made in USA - boring, but encouraging

Motorola ZOOM tablet 1984/love story - Thought it was going to be for iPad with a nod to the 1984 Mac ad.

BMW Diesel - Chchchchanges. And I want to get a car that runs on a more expensive fuel why, exactly?

Coke - Monkey People and the Ice Dragon. Coke is back people. CGI yumminess.

THOR - want to see.

VW Darth Vader - I am in love. Coolest Commercial EVAH.

Snickers - You're not yourself when you're hungry is still funnny

CareerBuilder.com - Monkeys are cool. Does this mean they don't work for eTrade anymore?

Super 8 (spielberg flick) - looks like ET redux. I'im sure the ending will involve crying on the part of the audience.

Chevy Cruze lets you check you facebook without taking your eyes of the road. how nice. Now I really won't buy one.

Captain America - All right, more superhero movies. Cool.

Castrol - the playoffs are over, I don['t need to see them again.

Carmax - cute cirrcle of loose associations.

A commercial for a special commercial from Glee? Do we really need this?

American Idol - I don't care.

Ford Edge - Ugly Car, don't care. that thing costs more to lease than it was to buy my Sable.

Android - dumb.

Royal Caribbean - meh. It's a cruise.

Camry - boring car commercial. Even the color red didn't make it more exciting.

Half time show sucks ass. Who ever thought it was a good idea to get these stupid fucks to perform should be sacked. What trash....

ugh. Fergie can't sing, but Usher improved things.

I come in from milking at half-time and lil Griff breaks out her Comic Book Guy voice, "Worst Super Bowl halftime show ever."

Is there something seriously wrong with the field down in Dallas?

Thing about the Black Eyed Peas is that they don't rely on their vocals for the show, so they can give a standard show even in an akward half time environment. Their music sounded the same as the studio version and the show was visually stunning. I mostly enjoyed it. Better than most half time shows. Better than the Who last year.

here you go. Playing Hockey on the Redwings Ice.

:D

Halftime
 

Acura TSX - nice cgi, undistinguished

Daytone 500 - I don't get the manhole covers blowing off.

Chatter.com - don['t try to use commercials to teach me.

oooh. alien encounters. vocoders. I don't much care. I need to get back to making my snack. And the sound engineer is apparently stoned or asleep. I rather hoped that when Slash popped up out of the stage Axl Rose would soon follow ... that chick cannot sing Sweet Child of Mine.

Chatter.com again. What is it, business productivity or social networking? Business productivity made as fun as social networking?

Toyota - conventional, not worth super bowl money.

TGI Friday's Blind date. stupid.

Gambler's anonymous. lame. close to the truth, but lame. (might be PA only ad)

Honda CRV Bad weather car. eh. nie selling point.

The Daily - tablet newspaper. How about that. Is the market penetration on tablets big enough to support something like that? Do peope who slavishly buy Apple products read news?

NFL.com - it's everywhere, isn't it.

Car Warriors - I don't really get into any of those car building shows.

Daytona 500 - Ferris wheel. It's my childhood nightmare's writ large. But I don't get what it has to do with car racing.

What gives, I thought the best ads were supposed to run at halftime?

disagree!

several local ads for car dealers, etc. can't imagine how much that cost!

Thank you, monster. Just right!

Now that everybody in America has color TV, do we really still need Home and Away jerseys?

I hate hate hate the home and away thing. N'existe pas en UK. And white is the worst color to launder.

I don't know if this is just hockey in the US, or all sports?

In the UK, soccer/football teams wear their own color/colour. If, and only if two teams meet who have the same color, then they away team uses their second "away" kit.

for non-US viewers who may not know, here, The home team wear white or light, and the away team wears a dark color. So, in the pic, Thor is in the home jersey, his away Jersey is red. Hector has White and Blue.

UUUGGGHHH !!!

the announcers seem like Steelers fans--don't seem even handed. could be my imagination

Uh, British woman ... home is dark and away is white.

Cloud, I think you're right ... couple of them are former Steelers, aren't they?

Not here! White team is home team. trust me i'm a doctor! this gets weirder and weirder. the wings play white at home too.....I saw them!

Ok. sorta cleared up...it varies and even within sports and leagues...

from Wikisourceofallknowledge:

A baseball guy and an ex-cowboy quarterback.

I thought I saw Terry Bradshaw behind the desk, was he only doing color commentary or halftime?

oh, crap. I have to go to the bathroom. Now I have to wait until after the next commercial break. I'll chance it. Maybe play will continue? Oh, crap, a timeout. they'll go to commerical now. Why aren't they going to commercial? I really need to pee. Maybe once play resumes after the timeout. Made it. Should remember to buy depends for next year. don't think astronaut undies come in my size.
