Easygoing Eyebeast Dantius Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 In which discussion of the Super Bowl takes place. My current thought is only that the Who are really, really old. And shouldn't be performing anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Yes, those Who. (No Doctors, unfortunately.) —Alorael, who believes a member of the band has gone on record as saying he only still plays in it because he doesn't have to try very hard. Whether or not that is apocryphal, it is very appealing. Hard rock retirement! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unflappable Drayk Xelgion Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 The commercials this year seemed to be based around males in underwear. And lots of Budwiser, although not that many Honda commercials. Although the game was probably one of the best I have seen, and the Who's half-time performance was enjoyable, considering they are around 50 years old and still sound the same.

Magnificent Ornk Ephesos Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Yeah, not a bad game. Still a baseball fan more than football, but it was pretty enjoyable. (And I don't know much at all about football, but it was downright impressive watching the Saints thunder back into the game in the second half.)

Well-Actually War Trall The Ratt Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I liked the Doritos one where the kid slaps the big guy and says "Two rules: Hands off my mama, and don't touch my Doritos."

Easygoing Eyebeast VCH Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I think the Doritos commercials were all done by the public in a big contest to win money. College humour has a lot of the entries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Swimmin' Salmon Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 The ninja star dorito won. The Tebow anti-abortion one lost. Huge. And the game was awesome. Not much of a fan of NO, and not a fan of the Colts, but the Saints played a much better game. And, it gave me pleasure to see Peyton not make one of his 4th quarter comebacks. Now, if only teams can continue to exploit his weaknesses during the next season... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Best thing about YouTube is now you can see the best commercials when you want. As to The Who and last year's Tom Petty: 1) Having an act that old means anything that they wrote that was controversial is now a classic and tame by today's standards. 2) No surprises because they are established. 3) No wardrobe malfunctions.

Easygoing Eyebeast The Mystic Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I don't care that much for football. I watched a total of maybe five minutes of the game, and only a handful of the commercials. Pardon me while I just lurk for (possibly) the rest of this thread.

Easygoing Eyebeast Enraged Slith Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I didn't want to watch the game this year, but that would have ostracized me further from a bunch of guys I have to live with for the next few months. At least it was a decent game and had a good Half Time performance. EDIT: I was pretty surprised that none of them knew anything about The Who or Keith Moon.

If you're over 300 lbs, you can just be the guy who sits on blockers. Heavier linemen are becoming more popular, and it's an arms race. You can't block a man who weighs a lot more than you very well, so all the linemen keep getting heavier. And it is unhealthy, even beyond what slamming your bulk into another guy's bulk for a living will do to you. —Alorael, who will admit that he spent much of the Superbowl doing a read-through of As You Like It. On the whole it was a very nice experience, although ending with Touchstone shouting, "Touchdown!" may not be entirely period-accurate.

Understated Ur-Drakon The Almighty Doer of Stuff Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 I choose my favorite teams based on their names, their colors, their logos, and their mascots. I like the Buccaneers and the Raiders because they're piratey, and I like the Vikings because vikings are about as close to piratey as you can be without really being piratey. I don't really like horses. They're sort of cute sometimes, but they're far from my favorite animal, and regardless the teams with horse names don't choose their names based on the cute factor so much as the tough, fast, sometimes wild nature of them, so I don't like the Colts. On the other hand, I don't really like saints either, seeing as I generally dislike the Catholic religion. I like the Saints' colors better, plus I was aware that it was their first Super Bowl, so I cheered for them. I would have preferred a Vikings-Jets Super Bowl though. It would have been awesome if the Jets, who the Colts basically let win, turned around and beat the Colts, but it didn't turn out that way. Also, the damned Saints almost tried to murder Brett Favre in the NFC Championship, which was awfully dirty football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
