I’m a fan of the Super Bowl.
Picture probably stolen from washingtontimes.com...but I Google-imaged it, so it's totally legit
Color me unoriginal.
But hell, I like beer, I like snacks, I like kick-ass hail marys and–as previously stated–I like the possibility of watching Tom Brady cry (and…uhh…run around in those tight pants. Mmm…).
Okay, maybe color me creepy.
But ANYWAYS, even though my longstanding love affair with Green Bay wasn’t enough to swing them into another Super Bowl (I BOUGHT SO MANY TSHIRTS, DAMNIT!) and the 49ers weren’t able to pull off the necessary win a few weeks ago (cough-Matthews-cough), I’m still pulling for the Giants. Predominantly because of my oft-mentioned dislike of the Pats and for this commercial, which forever endeared every (football-playing) member of the Manning household to me:
(Ignore the shitty quality. Gotta love bootleg.)
And now–SPEAKING OF COMMERCIALS–we arrive at the point of the post: With Super Bowl 2012 come Super Bowl 2012 Commercials!
Yup, that’s right. It’s the one day of the year when you have to utilize extreme bladder control (difficult because of aforementioned beer), because even going to the bathroom during the commercials ensures you’re going to miss something.
And granted, it may not be an insane play where a fumble is run back for a TD, complete with 8 laterals, and followed by a fake play for the two-point conversion to win it in the last second. But, I mean, judging from this teaser, you may miss David Beckham posing slow-mo in his skivvies. And that shit’s even better in HD.
And, of course, along with the delighfully inked-out Brit twirling in his boxer briefs, there’s Matthew Broderick parodying…well, himself…in the Honda CR-V ad entitled “Matthew’s Day Off.”
Sadly, Cameron is nowhere to be found.
Finally, where would the Super Bowl be without the requisite Go Daddy ads. This time, the still-ambiguous-to-me-because-I-opt-out-every-time-they-tell-me-to-go-to-their-site-to-see-more-now company has an ad featuring the Pussycat Dolls. (Yes, apparently they do still exist. And apparently are really hot. Props.)
So see more commercial sneak peaks here, and then plan your bathroom breaks strategically. Game-winning touchdowns or half-naked babes–what’re people REALLY going to be talking about on Monday??
