Title: Anybody watching super bowl?
Post by: Sintpinty on Sun, 03 February 2019, 18:00:22
Anybody watching the Super Bowl? Just wondering. What are your favorite commercials so far?  :)

Can’t wait for the halftime show! The score is currently 0-0 as I am writing this!

I am, but being non-US we get extra comments from presenters like you get at half time instead of the legendary commercials.

I don’t get extra comments, since I’m on the American channel. Once in a while, Bell does barge in with their super bowl commercials since I am Canadian.

If i’m being honest with you i’m only watching the commercials, not the actual game. Excepting Maroon 5 because they’re playing Sweet Victory. F in the chat for Stephen Hillenburg.

I don't watch football, but I'll use the joke that everyone else has been using.

Watched it, found it pretty boring. Same with the half time show.

Yeah, they never looked like winning.  Had high hopes for half time when it was an actual band but then it was half rapping?  Weird...

Oh well, bed time now.

I was going to watch it when I woke up today.
But as soon as I woke up I checked my phone without thinking and some news app had posted the score. :(

And I DEFINITELY don't want to watch it now that I know who won.

EDIT: Typos.

The players wear thick helmets and still suffer head injuries.
It's less about the players' skill and more about being large, fast and tough — and violent, bumping into each other.
Strategy and tactics are dictated by the coach, not by the players.

So, "American Football" is like an analogy to a battlefield.
And this is taught in schools ... In effect conditioning kids to becoming cannon fodder.

Great.

Still, I'm looking forward to the commercials on Youtube later.

Honestly people in general seem to prefer PVP.  If someone could hype bad-mitten to look cool, it would be popular too.

Think we had Canadian commercials here, I missed the big Pepsi ad.


No, Pepsi is not ok. Coke or bust.
