Super Bowl Sunday Best

Rather than fight Super Bowl Sunday we decided to embrace Super Bowl Sunday…

… COMMERCIALS!!!

Of course, we’d rather embrace Bad Bunny.  But since nothing leaked about his half-time show (Note: We’re predicting at some point he will show up in a replica of the iconic bunny hat worn by 5-year-old Minnesota resident Liam Cochran when he was captured by ICE and dragged to for almost a week to a Texas detainment camp) we’ll stick with the…

….COMMERCIALS!!!

Oh.. and the nachos too

And there are many. 

Too many. 

But still some goodies.

Here’s our fave: Melissa McCarthy for E.L.F.

Though this one with Benson Boone and Ben Stiller (directed by Spike Lee) for Instacart is unexpectedly funny.

As is the one for Pringles with Sabrina Carpenter.

And it’s always fun to see Chris Hemsworth making fun of his seeming perfection, especially when it’s with his real-life wife and Alexa + doing it…

Want more? 

Here’s a link to some of the best and worst of them from Entertainment Weekly– the arbiter of, well, not very much in this case except compiling.

GO SEATTLE!!!! 

GO NEW ENGLAND!!!!

And GO GREEN DAY with your song in the opening ceremony!!  (Note: Heh, heh, heh).

Here’s Billie Joe Armstrong’s ICE Dedication AKA a preview of what was on his mind when he performed at the pre-party earlier this weekend.

Supersized Sunday

You didn’t think we would compete against Super Bowl Sunday and the post mortem analysis during the subsequent week, did you?

Some of you might be unpacking the game (Note: Who’s playing again?) but many of you will be ragging on or obsessed with the commercials.  Though can anything beat the late Betty White in her 2010 Snickers ad?  I don’t think so. 

That’s why if and when we tune in or unpack, it’ll be only be about the….

HALF-TIME SHOW!!

Yes girl!

Yes, Rihanna’s great.  And surely there will be at least one umbrella to be had on the stadium field.

However, when memorable half-time shows come to mind how can anything ever top the purple one himself  –

PRINCE. 

Dearly beloved…

In 2007, he literally sang Purple Rain in the pouring purple rain and mesmerized an old curmudgeonly football agnostic like myself into literal applause he couldn’t hear at the end of his set.

Springsteen, Gaga, Beyoncé, Bruno Mars – they were all appropriately hot and cool.  But Prince gets the GOAT crown for his musicianship, his performance chops, his songs and his sheer otherworldly Prince-liness.
