What You’re Really Watching: Superbowl Commercial Liveblog 2011

Let’s be real, guys. We know why the majority of us are tuned in to this Superbowl, beer in hand and 5-layer dip on face/shirt/floor (as the beer in hand gets continuously replaced). It’s not for the football (because this isn’t my freshman year when the Giants made the Pats 18 and one and no, I will never let you guys live that down), and it’s not for the halftime show (because instead of The Boss doing an epic performance, they got “the world’s most expensive Bar Mitzvah DJ’s” – The Black Eyed Peas). It’s for the $3 million 30-second commercials, of course! So I’ll be making my non-constructive criticisms of each commerical in terms of suckiness and funniness, as well as how drunk one might have to be to enjoy an ad agency’s attempt to be outlandishly clever. As The Office‘s Michael Scott says, “it’s the reason why comedy clubs have a two drink minimum…” So eat, drink, and be judgmental (for tomorrow we’ll feel like crap)! Let the liveblog begin!
