Superbowl Sunday

My kids on the beach, loving that sunshine.

Like many Americans, my family and I watched the Super Bowl, commercials. We have a little different tradition at my house for Superbowl Sunday. We eat some kind of wonderful junk food, last night it was nachos. We start the show about an hour or so late, skip the game by fast forwarding and watch the commercials. Strange I know, but we love it. They have the best commercials during the super bowl. It is the exact opposite of what we normally do, we usually watch the show and skip the commercials. We loved the Ultrasound Doritos commercial, and the mini coke with the Hulk and Antman. Those we our favorite ones. Our least favorites were the Kickstart Mountain Dew, puppy monkey baby. I know that many did like this one, but I just did not care for it. It seemed a bit warped. Also I really disliked the one with the guy that tried to kiss a Marmet. YUCK! I have no idea what that one was even for, some outdoor company. I loved the half time show since it had Bruno Mars, He is an amazing dancer. I am also very excited by the new Independence Day movie, we watch the old one every Independence Day. How did you spend your Superbowl Sunday? Whatever you did, I hope that you all had a wonderful weekend & have a Beautiful day!

It is amazing isn't it. Normally we get up and leave the room when the commercials come on, but not on Super Bowl Sunday during the game. I didn't watch the game, heard it, but was having too much fun myLotting. Besides, my team wasn't in it, so no real interest. I heard about the Doritos commercial. It's both my sons favorite commercial. I'll need to go to YouTube to watch the commercials.

@just4him You could probably see them on you tube. We cannot watch that anymore it sucks up to much date usage for us.

I read most of the day. I did see some of the half time show. I did not enjoy it at all, and used my remote to skip most of it. I saw some of the commercials in the second half. I like the one with the singing sheep.

No I really did not like the halt time show, they are usually much "to-do" about nothing really. I did like Bruno Mars dancing but that was it.

@mom210 I saw a bit of Beyonce's performance. They had on very little, and danced like women in strip joints.

I rarely watch the game but this year I wanted to see Peyton Manning on what might be his last performance. It seems like yesterday that I was following his dad Archie!!

@mom210 I do not remember what we watched two weeks ago, we watch a different movie every evening. We are only the two of us, we are both adult, may be that not all the movies we watch are family movies.

We loved the commercials, too! I loved the series of commercials for the car full of bank robbers that kept going ... and going ... and going. It was so funny! I also liked the Doritos one with the Ultrasound. Great! I also liked the Heinz one with the "hot dogs."

I enjoyed it all, but I love football. I DVR it so I can go back and rematch any commercials I inadvertently miss. I liked the commercial for Avocados from Mexico. It's been so long ago you may not remember it. It involved aliens giving a tour of exhibits of things previously popular on earth. Scott Baio was one of the exhibits. I hated the puppy/monkey/baby commercial.

We got pizza from Papa Murphy's and just made it a family day. I don't care a thing about sports but went along for the family time of it.

This is my first time to hear one enjoying commercials to the point of skipping the show but indeed commercials could be enjoyable especially when it is your first time to see them.

The companies pay so much money, I just wonder what they got for that money and once I see it. Sometimes I think, wow, what a waste of money

Sometimes there are some good half time shows and it is a hit, sometimes they seem like a real miss though

That is a good thing. The half time is hit and miss. I have never said "gee I could not have lived without seeing that". Usually the opposite.

Neither my brother or I are sports fans so we didn't watch the super bowl. We used to record it just so that we could go back and watch the commercials but this year we didn't have a DVR.

That sounds like such a fun time! I love Nachos. We don't have Superbowl Sunday here. But this week my Cricket team won a game they really needed to win @mom210 , so that was pretty awesome. Have a great week further! :-)

Sounds like you had a good time watching the commercials. We watched part of the game and some of the commercials, but missed most of the more popular and talked about commercials. We don't have a TV in the kitchen where we eat, so missed everything that was on while we had super. And of course, that's when the best commercials seemed to air.

I watched part of the game, and played football catch with my friend/coworker's two sons for much of it.

I am not interested in football, and I do not have TV service so didn't see the game or the commercials. Sounds like your family has fun with this. I did have a good weekend.
