Daily Dose: Not So Super Sunday

Monday, February 8th, 2010

Well, my Colts werent able to pull off the win last night in the Big Game which was less than ideal.  I actually chuckled while writing that last sentence…..out loud. The only reason i cheer for ANY pro team is because they have some affiliation with Tennessee because quite frankly, college ball is all i can really be bothered to care about. I obviously have a bit of a soft spot for the brothers Manning, so last night i was cheering on the men in blue.

Truth be told, I really only watch the Super Bowl for the commercials and all the junk food. I know that will really resonate with some of you, while others may consider me a heretic that needs burned in the street, but im just being honest. I have to say this year’s advertising theme seemed to be all about unattractive men in their underbritches, which put a bit of a damper on the binge eating. GRODY. Many of those not featuring hairy-bellied fellas in their saggy tighty-whities basically gave the impression that all men are pansies constantly bowing to the wishes of their vicious female counterparts that live to suck the joy out of life. Overall, not the most steller year.

There were however, a few standouts, the Doritos commercial was hilarious. I could watch that little kid slap his Mama’s date repeatedly. Good ol’ E-Trade came through with their always funny talking baby gag and The Dave Letterman/Oprah/Jay Leno spot was genius. 

My two favorites however were the Snickers add with Betty White…..because nothing spells funny like a Golden Girl getting body slammed in the mud….. and the Google add about Paris because it said so much without a single word being spoken.

I offer a slightly begrudging “Congrats” to all the Saints fans out there because it’s Monday and I could use the good karma.
