Non-football Super Bowl stuff: ads and halftime show

[Angry Ram]

OK as usual with this game there are a lot of extra-curricular stuff happening that we need to dive into.

Ads:

They sucked this year. Only 2 gave me a chuckle, the Sprint robots (b/c of the robot saying "you have a dumb face") and the M&Ms one when Danny DeVito got ran over by the truck. The Tides things were clever, but I wouldn't watch them a second time. Bud Light was probably the best of the bunch with the "Bud Knight". The rest were forgetful. What was up with Chris Pratt and the Michelob stuff? Most ads were ones that I would "skip" on before YouTube videos. Even Doritos, who usually have something good failed. And Mountain Dew??? Bring back puppymonkeybaby!!

Oh and a special fuck you to ads using tragedies and personal feelings to sell products...I'm looking at you Dodge, Hyundai, and random insurance company I never heard of.

I'm at the point where the things I look forward to is new movie trailers and teasers, and this year didn't disappoint with Jurassic World 2, Avengers: Infinity War, and Solo: A Star Wars Story.

Halftime:

Prince was the best part, which tells a lot. But be honest, who else though Justin Timberlake would rip off a top every time he went near a dancer?? Or at least pretend to, LOL.

I will say this, even though I didn't care for it, it was refreshing just to see a show without any major gimmicks (like the floating drones last year or the sharks and circus animals with Katy Perry).

I got a kick out of the commercial that had the vikings making their way to be the 1st to get to play in their own stadium for the Super Bowl...

Then having to do a U-turn when they were halfway home.

Did Budweiser actually have a SB commercial ?

Yeah - the (Monty Python) Dilly Dilly ads.
Plus how they canned water to send to disaster areas.

I guess I missed those. Was also in a serious scrabble and backgammon match vs wife...I was probably trying to spell C-A-T

Yeah, and the fact they were in a Ram truck along with their Ram longboat lol. It would've been funnier if they had a Falcon perched on one of their arms.

What was up with Chris Pratt and the Michelob stuff?

There was a commercial earlier on that had him saying he was going to be the new spokesperson, but it ended up that he was just going to be another extra. So the joke was that he's just randomly in the background of the new ads.

I know, I saw both.

They just weren't funny and I didn't get it.

You know what WOULD have been funny??? Him in his Star Lord get up and having a Michelob with a low-cost Ravager. Or in his Jurassic World mode and he and his raptor mate have a Michelob together.
