- that last 122 seconds was torture. - Mel Profit Feb 2, 06:27 1
  - I'm still not hungry yet. -- nm - Diva Feb 2, 06:28
- It's true. Sweet cheesarella barbacorn is back, and all is right with the world -- nm - con_carne Feb 2, 06:23
A surprising amount of this year's Super Bowl ad budgets seemed to be spent on cutting people's legs off... -- nm - Ender Feb 2, 06:17 15
- and cover songs done in a slow emo style -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 2, 06:30
- This was totally the Super Bowl for people missing limbs. -- nm - Tim Feb 2, 06:23

    - The tone seemed terrible for the event, and the copycat nature of the ads was quite odd. -- nm - David Feb 2, 06:22 5
      - Agreed. A few really brought the room down and really missed the mark. They might be good ads but poorly placed at the SB. -- nm - Krusty Feb 2, 06:30 1
        
        They were all in the 2nd quarter which went by in 3 minutes. - Will Hunting Feb 2, 06:36
      - Yeah, that was what I found really weird. So many ads with the same themes/ideas means none of them stood out. - Kim Pine Feb 2, 06:30 2
        
        I think ads being the same theme makes sense. Ad companies are all looking at the same tracking data and would make similar decisions. - volnelk Feb 2, 06:35
        
        Everyone's talking about them though. :-) -- nm - Krusty Feb 2, 06:31

- yikes! - I didn't even know until you posted this. -- nm - Diva Feb 2, 06:22 1
  - I only knew because of the joke con_carne linked in the middle of B9. -- nm - Tim Feb 2, 06:26
- Big story here locally. It doesn't look good. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 2, 06:22 1

  - The movie ads always rate poorly (I'm surprised minions did that 'well') - ty97 Feb 2, 06:20
  - As an fyi, those rankings rarely mean anything with regards to box office. - David Feb 2, 06:19

I traded in my car for a giant robotic lion. It looks fabulous, but took me about 3 hours to get to work. -- nm - Polar Baron Feb 2, 05:58
Tom Brady had no business being MVP of that game. -- nm - David Feb 2, 05:54 7
- If you would have said, Edelman would have been a better choice, i would listen. But when you say he had no business, I just stop listening - amoxy Feb 2, 06:04 4
  - The first INT was unforgivable. The second one could/should have lost them the game. - David Feb 2, 06:18 3
    - Once again, no business = completely absurd argument. -- nm - amoxy Feb 2, 06:35 2

- 37/50 for 328 yards; 4 TDs, 2 INTs. I thought Edelman myself (1 TD, 109 yds receiving, at least 1 concussion) -- nm - Beaker Feb 2, 05:55 1
  - Both INTs were cripples. Gronk, Edelman and West Alabama were all better choices. -- nm - David Feb 2, 05:58
