Liveblogging the SB Commercials – 1st Half
Here’s my attempt at live blogging the Super Bowl commercials, since we all know the commercials are often more interesting than the game itself. Although I’m really looking forward to this year’s matchup (go Colts!), so we’ll see if I get too distracted. Feel free to add your comments – which commercials were winners, which were losers? (Addendum – I probably will take a break during half time).
Okay, 1st commercial. Busch. House of bud light cans. Okay, kind of funny.
2nd – Betty White playing football. It’s a snickers commercial. And it’s not really Betty White. Ha! Bloodstar thought it was eh. I liked it – “You’re playing like Betty White”. . .Betty – “That’s not what your girlfriend says”. Great!
3rd – Tim Tebow, Focus on the Family commercial. Blah.
4th – Survivor. Doesn’t really count.
Quick back to football and another break.
5th – Car commercial with piano music. Hyundai Sonata (ha, nice try to music comparison). Blah commercial.
6th – Take on the SuperBowl Shuffle for who? For Boostmobile. Weird, but funny take.
7th – Doritos. Poor dog. Trying to get dog to speak with anti-bark collar on. Ha! Dog takes collar off, puts it on the jackass and then barks! Guy falls on ground, dog takes doritos. Guy is left on ground convulsing as he tries to talk. Excellent.
Back to football. Colts up 3-0, Saints ball.
8th – Movie commercial. Doesn’t count. But Robin Hood looks good. Russel Crowe’s type of movie.
9th – Doritos. Boyfriend brings woman flowers. She introduces him to her kid and tells the kid to play nice. Boyfriend tries to make nice and takes a dorito out of a bowl on the coffee table. Kid slaps his hand. Kid to boyfriend – Keep your hands off my momma, keep your hands off my doritos. Love it!
10th – Bud Light. Observatory. End of the world. Everyone partying in their last minutes. Eh.
11th – NCIS. Head shots – people slapping other peoples’ heads. Cute, but doesn’t really count.
Back to football. Colts still up 3-0, but deep in their own end.
Go Addai! Gain of 16. Nice run.
And another great run by Addai. Nice block by Wayne.
Addai is on fire! Woohoo! Nice job protecting the ball at the end of the run.
TD Indy!!!! Yeah baby! One of my squares is Indy 0, Saints 3. Just need N.O. to score a fieldgoal before the end of the quarter.
12th – Simpsons. Burnsy is broke. Helicopters even take his mansion. Ah, it’s a Coke commercial. Burnsy gets a Coke and is part of the gang. Cute, but not fantastic.
13th – GoDaddy. Danica Patrick getting a massage. Oh, geez. the Masseuse wants to be a GoDaddy girl. Predictable.
More football.
Damn, no fieldgoal gonna happen this quarter.
14th – Doritos (again). Dying wish – casket full of Doritos. And a tv. Falls out of the casket. Kind of lame.
15th – Bud Light. Guys singing weird on the phones. Lame.
16th – Beavers, playing the violin. Gets the girl. Monster commercial – find your path. Okay, but not great.
17th – Movie – the Wolfman. Looks good, but doesn’t count.
Football.
18th – Car commercial. With shamu in the truck. Trying to get him to the ocean. Spins and he goes out the back. “That was a bachelor party.” Bridgestone commercial. Okay.
19th – Shape-ups from Sketchers. Forgettable.
20th – With knowledge comes confidence. Kid-genius. Cars.com. Similar to another of their commercials. I love them. Bloodstar is dubious.
21st – CBS commercial? Yep. Doesn’t count.
Football. 2nd quarter. Indy up 10-0. Saints ball.
Colston makes a nice catch. Rats.
Saints’ CB injured on Colts TD. Out for now.
Stupid Colts penalty. C’mon, you know not to do a late hit out of bounds.
Pierre Thomas does a great job of breaking tackles to almost get the 1st down.
Brees is sacked! Nice. With one hand, no less. Awesome.
N.O. trying a field goal. They make it. I need the score to stay this way for the rest of the quarter. Or Indy can score another 10.
22nd – Bridge is out. Budweiser delivery truck on other side. Everyone rushes to help. Really, this flimsy wood bridge? Where do these people live? People make a bridge. Which is implausible, but cute.
23rd – Movie – Shutter Island. Looks creepy. But doesn’t count.
24th – Mark Sanchez. Heart beat sound. Symptoms of women’s heart attacks can be different than mens. Nice.
25th – Worse super bowl party ever with Oprah, Dave Letterman, and Leno. Letterman commercial. Meh.
26th – Amazing Race. Doesn’t count.
27th – Bing Bang Theory commercial. Sort of. Interesting.
Football.
28th – Casual Fridays. Everyone is in their skivvies. Expose yourself to something better. Career Builder. Meh. loodstar has never liked them.
29th – Another one? Men in undies walking across a field singing. Nope, a Dockers commercial. Meh.
30th – Favre as 2020 MVP. Might retire now. Maybe not. Trophy is a hologram. It’s a Hyundai commercial. Didn’t catch the link between the two, but I love Brett, so who cares.
Football.
Dammit. Gracon should have had that.
31th – Pseudo Lost commercial. Girl found radio equivalent. Guy found beverage cart with Bud Light. Party breaks out. Radio girl is miffed. She gets the radio working. They change it to party music. Meh.
32th – Scary commercial regarding some guy’s life as a musical kind of thing. A Dove commercial? Dove for Men. Interesting but kind of creepy. Bloodstar – What the Fuck?
33rd – Missed it. Something about the NFL. Maybe an award of some kind. Doesn’t count anyway.
What has Tracy Porter done to his head??
Nice catch and run by N.O.
Bloodstar just erased an entry – his butt is trying to live blog with the mouse.
34th – Guys staring blankly talking about what they will be doing – apparently according to what we tell them too. Ah, because they do this, “I will drive the car I want to drive.” Dodge Charger. Not great.
35th – Flowers in a box. I’ve seen this one before. Teleflora. Meh.
Bloodstar spills marina sauce from his breadsticks on the floor. He’s miffed. At least he has an extra one (sauce, not floor).
36th – Papa Johns. Doesn’t count – seen it.
37th – CSI Miami. Doesn’t count.
Football. N.O. is on the goal line. And can’t make it in!
38th – Movie. Alice in Wonderland. Looks creepy. Doesn’t count.
39th – Kiss selling Dr. Pepper Cherry. Oh, there’s Little People too. Because it’s a “little kiss” of cherry. Meh.
40th – Punksatawny Paolomalou. 6 more weeks of football. Kind of creepy.
Football. N.O. still on the goal line. 4th and goal. Indy stops them!!! Wow!
And man, there is marina sauce everywhere! 
41st – Harry Potter? Universal Orlando. Meh.
Football. Gotta hope the score stays like this so I win this quarter!
Crap, Saints stopped Indy on 3rd down. They still have a chance to score.
42nd – Girlfriend has removed boyfriend’s spine so he can’t watch the game. He’s smelling candles. Change out of that skirt Jason. FloTV. Interesting but not great.
Football. Indy punts to N.O., who gets the ball at the 48.
Long pass completed by Brees.
C’mon Indy D!
43rd – Intel core processors are greatest things ever. Poor robot hears that and is devastated. That was kind of sad. 
Football. Crap, N.O. in field goal range. Damn. They made it. 10-6.
Half-time.
