Just for fun, I’m live blogging the commercials. Thought on the game will come after the game is over. I’m joined by my wife for this. See watches a lot more TV than I do by a lot. I consider her an expert on this subject.
KM is me, Keith Myers. tW is what my wife wanted her initials to be. It stands for “the Wife.” I approve. She’s awesome like that.
Opening thoughts:
KM: I’m supposed to have thoughts?
tW: I hope they have a dog one like the “here-we-go” one from a year ago.
tw: I also think we should keep track of how many times we see the Mannings
First break
K: Was that a commercial for the flaming lips?
tW: So now it’s totally hip to be a parent? good to know.
KM: I was disappointed. there was nothing like the kick-flip with a car from a year ago that was just “cool.” There were really only 4-5 good ones.
My favorite was proably the one with Kelly Cuoco (the girl from Big Bang Theory) as a genie. There were some great scenes mixed in there.
tW: Overall, the commercials were okay. Nothing seemed to be one of those “watercooler” ones. And I can’t believe there were zero Mannings in this thing. My favorite one was the race to bottle of coke. glitter cannon, enough said.
And that’s it. game over, so good commercials are over. not that many were good to begin with.
KM: Next big thing, that was awesome.
tW: I liked it.
KM: Lebron apparently trumps b list celebs. glad to get that memo.
tW: so Mercedes benz owners are soulless?
KM: that’s what I got out of it.
tW: who’s idea was it to insult the people who bought their cars before?
Miracle stain.
tW: that was a great commercial.
KM: predictable, but funny
KM: why the 49ers? they’re just all bandwagon fans anyway.
our software cut out that i was laughing at the beginning of the last entry.
KM:
tW: two thumbs up!
KM: an answer for everything?
tW: I liked the elephant in the space suit.
KM: not the Panda?
Apparently I missed a commercial a while ago for the diversity in the military. Wife says it was touching. I’m sorry i missed it.
KM: Farmers drive dodge trucks. check
tW: construction worker drive Fords.
KW: somehow this needs to end up as a village people joke.
KM: these commercials still suck
KM: so being a perv is now required to use speed stick.
tLW: apparently
KM: We forgot one. what about that shirt one? I don’t et the cat?
tW: no comment
KM: How does beating up the guy who’s looking at the car make me want to buy it?
tW: I don’t know, but I don’t want to touch it.
KM: Gaingam style? isn’t that over yet?
tW: that was probably timely 3 months ago when the filmed it.
Apparently all the commercials were shown in the first half. only think remotely interesting in the 3rd quarter so far has been the Letterman one with Andrew Luck.
3rd Q: all these commercials are repeats. yawn.
KM: febu-any? really ugh… Subways has awful ads.
tW: what was it? no thanks.
KM: lucky chair? more superstition crap? this ad series needs to die.
tW: um… no. as if their beer was bad enough, these commercials suck, and I liked the original ones in the series.
Light out in the stadium lots of commercials coming at once. give a guys a break!
KM: century 21 ad was lame until the until end. end joke saved it.
tW: kinda cute. mostly lame.
KM: that’s not the scene I’d pick to get ppl excited for Iron Man 3.
Halftime. aka potty break.
We’ll be back to in the 3rd quarter unless there’s some good adds (there usually aren’t)
KM: I refuse to comment on commercials that have been being shown for months.
tW: I really want to nap right now.
KM: you can nap during halftime.
tW: that was cool looking. I like the origami.
KM: thought it was going to be a very normal car commercial. turned out interesting.
KM: old people partying?
KM: that was for Taco Bell?
KM: my favorite right there. running down the cheetah. awesome!
tW: that one was for you. do you want those shoes now?
KM I might. definitely.
tW: you know I liked that Coke one because of all the pink. Sparkle cannon was awesome. It was a little siren-esque too.
KM: race to Coke… finally another decent one.
tW: nodding
tW: I hope they have more of those.
KM: Wasn’t Jared fired by Subway a while back?
tW: VW makes you talk Jamaican? I think we just had simultaneous strokes.
KM (dooling…)
Live blogging is being preempted slightly by kids waking up from naps. Will continue, but likely slower.
KM: Into Darkness… nice!
tW: did you know he’s going to do the Star Wars movie too?
tW: the dog drooling was the funniest part of that commercial.
KM: Haundai is spending a ton of money here. that’s commercial #2 at least. maybe number 3.
KM: this this a super bowl commercial for the super bowl?
tW: what is he doing?
KM: comments?
tW: they took it too far. the others were funny, but that killed the series.
KM: Hopefully that means they’re done with superstitions. they’re annoying.
tW: Seriously, those GoDaddy commercials are the dumbest things ever.
KM: yep.
KM: pretty unimpressed so far. There’s been 3 good ones, and one was for a movie.
tW: it’s like they spent all there money on the spot and couldn’t afford to make a good one.
KM: this is tougher to do than I expected. though to watch 1 commercial while I type our comment on the previous one.
KM: Dudes in dresses. nice tough Doritos
tW: new favorite. awesome.
tW: this is a first.
KM: yep, didn’t need to see that.
KM: what was that Wolf thing about?
tW: something about drama. it was dumb.
KM yep.
tW: Is this a fast and the furious movie?
KM: #6, apparently. I don’t remember 4 and 5.
tW: the princess part was awesome.
KM: infinite “wishes” I need to remember that.
tW: so far that genie was is my favorite.
tW: Oz looks cool!
tW: the coke commercial was cool. acts of kindness.
KM: I missed it… typing…
tW: When they came through the wall I thought it was going to be the cool aid dude?
KM: that didn’t make me want an oreo.
tW: it was the old “taste great-less filling” commercials meets “the Music Man” library song.
KM: Amy Poller is weird.
tW: I like it when she asked if we were in the cloud.
KM: what about the one before it?
tW: I don’t even remember what the one before it was. memorable apparently.
KM: another Beer comercial. surprising!
lW: So far these are just normal commercials. they aren’t even funny.
KM: what was that commercial for?
tW: no idea, but it was cool. Those kids were awesome!
KM: go Daddy has the dumbest commercials.
tW: yep.
KM: the goat was scary. Dorritos: making animals scary since… some random year.
tW: It reminds me of the goat from “how I met your mother.”
KM: hey look! a beer commercial! never seen that before!
tW: All I can think about is her shoes.
tw: that’s the chick from Glee!
KM: Is this a commercial for prom?
tW: (laughing)
tW: so his whole prom was to go get punched in the face?
tw: so far these commercials sucks. They’re the warm up commercials, right?
