TOTALLY GEEKED!

Halftime Show and Commercials -Dish

Blankie · Guru

I'm not a real Katy Perry fan. But I liked the dancing sharks and beachballs.

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

Katy Perry. That was quite a spectacle!

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

I liked it. I yelled when I saw Lenny Kravitz.

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

That looked scary when she was up on that platform ar the end. I know she was belted but still.

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

I would have been freaking out.

FNW · Guru

I was underwhelmed until the end when she thanked God.

Commercials were good. Several I really enjoyed.

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

The Minions commercial was cute.

Lawyerlady · On the bright side...... Christmas is coming! (Mod)

DH made me youtube the Snickers Brady bunch one - he liked that.

Fort Worth Mom · Mod/Penguin lover/Princess!

I'm still watching the Puppy Bowl! biggrin

Vette · Owl drink to that!

The commercials stink they are way too "deep" and "message-y"

Mellow Momma · Sniff...sniff, sniff. Yay! A Bum!

I love the esurance commercials with Lindsay Lohan and Bryan Cranston. They are really funny. The rest are meh. The Budweiser one with the puppy was stupid I thought.

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

Too many public message ones.

Lawyerlady · On the bright side...... Christmas is coming! (Mod)

I hate preachy entertainment.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

Didn't watch any of it. I figure the commercials will be on for the rest of the year in some form or another. I don't feel I missed anything.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

I thought the Bud puppy dog one was stupid.

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

The one from Nationwide about the Dead Kid. Geez. I mean, the Super Bowl is supposed to be fun and lighthearted. I don't want that kind of stuff thrown in my face. Nor the phony preachy crap. Stick to the chimps and stupid gags.

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

I thought Katy Perry's show was a lot of fun. Especially the beach scene with the dancing sharks. Pretty cute.

FNW · Guru

I liked that the commercials were "deep" this year rather than airing a bunch of half naked women trying to sell internet browsers.

cadiver · Senior Member

I was sitting at the bar and could not hear the commercials, but the Victoria Secret commercial looked good.

I will have to look at what the Liam Neeson was about.

I was half asleep. I saw Katy sing "Fireworks," but missed Lenny Kravitz. I'll check on Youtube tonight.

How did Idina Menzel do with the National Anthem?

I think she did beautifully. What a voice she has.

It came up on USA Today. I watched it without sound, but I still got the gist of it.

The Nationwide commercial was the absolute worst commercial I have ever seen. If we had their insurance I would have called today and cancelled it.

Watch it on YouTube. It's very disturbing.

IT.WAS.HORRIBLE. HORRIBLE.

It reminded more than a few people of this:

https://screen.yahoo.com/national-anthem-000000827.html

Compare:

It was almost like she was TRYING to imitate the SNL skit from 5 years ago.

HORRIBLE...

FNW · Guru

Too funny.

While she's no Whitney Houston, I thought she did a good job.

The Nationwide commercial was disturbing, but that was the point. To make people wake up and take precautions. Not sure how an insurance company can prevent an accident, since it's their job to compensate after the fact. But people are still talking about it and there's no such thing as bad publicity, apparently.

They would have been better served showing kids narrowly escaping accidents at home. Rather than smack us with "I'm dead". That was tacky IMHO. You don't use dead children to sell...well, anything.

Well, I've seen worse.

I wouldn't call it horrible.

Just, not very good, IMHO.

People. Just sing the song, already. Don't try to fancy it up.

Better yet.

Don't sing it, anymore.

Ask, one of the great college bands, to play it.

Ohio State. Texas A&M.

The list could go on, and on.

Again, just my humble opinion.

Dona Worry Be Happy · Vette's SS!!

I thought is was very moving. I liked it.

flan327 · Itty bitty's Grammy

I'm going to check it out...because you ALL want to know what I think!

flan

flan327 · Itty bitty's Grammy

It was beautiful and respectful.

flan

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

I like the Katie Couric one.

Ohfour · Hooker

flan327 wrote:

No it wasn't. It was a mockery. Just like the SNL sketch.

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

I didn't like it. We expect Superbowl commercials to be quirky and funny and spectacular. Not depressing.

Ohfour · Hooker

Wait, are we talking about the National Anthem or the commercial? I'm taking about the National Anthem. I don't remember the commercial...

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

I was talking about the dead kid commercial. I didn't care for the Anthem either.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

Watched the National Anthem. It wasn't horrible. It was average.

Held a few notes too long maybe but at least she didn't do all those ridiculous runs that some like to put in there.

It was what it was.

I have never seen her before. Who is she? what does she do?

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

Some one want to post some commercial links?

Do you live in America?

I'm sorry, but she starred in Wicked (the stage play) and sang "Let It Go" in "Frozen."

She was also the poor girlfriend in Enchanted.

Yes, it's absolutely okay to market a product on dead kids but it's horrible to sell a puppy. Cause you know, ANYONE who sells a puppy is a subhuman person.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

Yes. I live in America.

She sang "Let it Go"? I still haven't seen that movie. No. I am not feeling deprived.

Thank you LL.

Still never heard of her.

Oh well.

They are abusing the animal.

Selling a puppy constitutes abuse?

voiceofreason · Guru

I didn't know who she was either but I thought she did a nice job. It must be nerve wracking so I'm impressed when anyone gets through it without messing up.

I'm pretty sure Lily was being sarcastic.
