Super Bowl Commercials
« on: February 04, 2022, 06:25:00 AM »
As everyone knows the Super Bowl in the USA is just as much about Capitalist company's pushing their product as it is about American Football. Maybe more. Budweiser isn't very good beer however they do have good commercials.

It's that time of the year again! Time for American bashers like Wiz to come out swinging!  :ROFL:

Meantime we're getting ready to have some pizza, get overdosed on commercials and watch some football! American football!

So after careful thought and consideration, I've decided to made a prediction. I hereby predict that the Cincinnati Bengals are going to win their first Super Bowl ever!! They've been hot for a while now and there's something about Joe Burrow. You just get the feeling he can overcome almost any deficit, if that were the case. He's got ice in his veins. I don't know if he's the next Joe Montana, but I like his style.

Here's a flashback celebration dance that B/B and 2tallbill will remember. Enjoy.  :laugh:

So this ended up being one of the suckiest "Super Bowls" ever, in my humble opinion.

The half-time show was atrocious, I had to change the channel and watch Wipeout for some real entertainment. To think that the Super Bowl half-time show used to be good enough to be called family worthy, meaning you could let your kids watch it. I suspect there are a lot of upset parents all around America right now.  :sick0012:

There were two good commercials that I could remember: the Budweiser commercial with the Clydesdale which I posted above and a Matthew McConaughey where he is wearing a space suit and flying around in a hot air balloon for Sales Force. I don't know anything about that company but 2tallbill probably does.

The Cincinnati Bengals were in the lead near the end of the game but a ticky tack foul gave a first down to the LA Sheep who were about to be stuffed near the end zone. So after half a million additional tries they finally scored a touch down.

Total crap, just like the Crap music at half time. At least I had a good spread for my neighbor and I to eat from.

I was initially ambivalent about both teams as neither one were who I wanted. I wanted the NY Buffaloes to have a shot at it but they couldn't get past the Kansas City Chiefs. At least the Chiefs are not caving into the current pussy PC garbage and changing their name; yet. Give it time.

This country is going to hell in a hand basket. Imagine if you were a WWII veteran who passed away back in the late 80's and you were watching this from up high. What would you think of that half time show? That you and your brothers in arms fought a hard fought war, only for the USA and Europe to turn into the sh*& show that it is now?
