Jeep w/Bruce Springsteen and the "Reunited States of America" we can now enjoy because that ****er Trump is out of office.
At least that was my takeaway.
Do you really think half the country was triggered over a Jeep commercial? Talk about your snowflakesBaylor3216 said:BellCountyBear said:

How do These companies piss off half the country or more and think that helps their bottom line? I LMAO'd at that commercial.
And the ones they piss off are the most likely to want to buy a Jeep product. The liberal tree huggers want green energy and love their little Prius.Baylor3216 said:BellCountyBear said:

Jeep completely negated the intended message by using Springsteen. The only thing he is "middle" in is the center of the liberal Hollywood/music industry.BellCountyBear said:

Might have been the worst year ever for the SB commercials - not many funny commercialsBUbackerinET said:

Correct. Frankly I usually mute the TV when commercials come on,Quote:

Bunch of dudes running around with jock straps on their head.BUbackerinET said:
Yes, thee halftime show too. Flipped it to another show for that 15 minutes, then flipped back worked perfectly.
It was only 15 minutes? It seemed to go on forever. The guys with the jock straps on their heads was pretty silly.br53 said:Bunch of dudes running around with jock straps on their head.BUbackerinET said:

That one was hilarious. Overall, I thought the commercials were lacking this year. There were a few funny ones. I like the Cheetos one with Shaggy, Mila, and Ashton. You probably have to be around my age to get it though. I liked the Alexa one with Michael B. Jordan. The T-Mobile one with Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton that carried over from the bad network theme of the Tom and Gronk commercial was ok. Nothing was awesome though.BUGWBBear said:
T-Mobile probably took the ones for funniest. Particularly the one with Brady and Gronk, which came on at the tail end of the Phoenix Open.
Hopefully they replayed it during the SB. Skipped out during HT, so not sure.
I was told by a colleague that the performer paid them $7 million to be able to have control of the show.RightRevBear said:That one was hilarious.

Also, the SB definitely went low budget with the halftime show this year.

- Tons and tons of back story and fluff pumping NFL initiatives, recognizing players for public service, telling us how nice they all are, pushing what ever the agenda du jour is etc. Just play football. If you can't or won't do that, just give me the exact time the game will actually kick off and I'll keep the TV off until then.
- Halftime shows. Please, get rid of them, entirely. If you can't do that, please tell me the exact time of the 2nd half kickoff so I'll know when to turn the TV back on.
The message (or at least strongly implied message) of that commercial that we're somehow now magically "reunited" because a coup installed imbecile dealing with the onset of dementia is now in the White House instead of Trump was especially asinine. Overall, the SB commercials were the worst ever, but that one took the cake.Baylor3216 said:BellCountyBear said:

Apparently, the performers are given a budget. From what I read, it sounded like he paid an additional $7 million of his own money to make sure everything he had envisioned was included.br53 said:I was told by a colleague that the performer paid them $7 million to be able to have control of the show.RightRevBear said:That one was hilarious.

I don't know, last year's ads seemed to be mostly terrible. At least this year, a couple were entertaining and the Toyota ad was actually inspiring.Jayman1963 said:Might have been the worst year ever for the SB commercials - not many funny commercialsBUbackerinET said:

Seems like reach to blame everything on women. Most of the 20-30 something men I know are plugged into reality shows and like the drama. Or they are so involved with draft/recruiting that mock drafts, and recruiting boards are more important than actual games. Or they are totally divorced from actual games and only care about them as generators of statistics for their fantasy league (lots of women play fantasy football). Drama/Draft/Stats, all first order derivatives of football that get (cumulatively) more hours of coverage than the games themselves.Quote:
