If people enjoying something bothers you so much to the point it depresses you then I’m really glad I’m not you😂
The only people I’ve ever heard say they’re looking forward to the commercials are the ones at the super bowl party who don’t watch and/or like football
Edit: phrasing >

Yeah seriously. Like you don’t have to like the sport but please don’t be that “HaHaH SpOrTSBaLL!” person lol
A lot of people agreeing with OP here that are like that. >

Dude  i cannot stand Sportsball people. I am an outlier in my community as I love football (go bills) and every. Single. Time. I say I'm watching a game someone always has to throw in the obnoxious "go sportsball". I'm like yeah well fuck that stupid Netflix show you're so into. What's the difference?
I have a whole essay I'm working on about this and how that is shaming someone for what they are into. >

It’s the absolute worst. They think not liking a sport is a personality trait. Like you don’t see me going out of my way to blatantly mock something that you’re into. 
There are definitely toxic sports fans (I mean Steelers nation can be wild) but I’d rather be around a loud fan than someone who hates football that makes it about themself. >

Yeah, exactly. 
"Don't put me In a box"...okay, but please don't put me I a box either unless Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs are also in there. Hahaha. 
On a side note, I just recently learned about the Ebola Towel controversy. If you don't know what I'm talking about you have to look it up. >

Hahah I remember that!
Yeah it’s a weird trend for some franchises to disrespect the Terrible Towel without knowing the meaning behind it. I mean the profits of the towels go towards an organization that helps disabled kids. 
You should read about the Terrible Towel Curse. People here swear by it lol >

We see ads a lot. At least these used to be entertaining. >

Yeah. The difference between regular commercials and Superbowl commercials is that SBC's are uber expensive, so companies make them extra memorable. Sometimes that means heartfelt and emotional, most of the time it means go for the laughs. And companies that can spend 5 million for a 30-second slot definitely have the budget for some good jokes. >

^^^cookies
^^^cream
^^^be ^^^quiet, ^^^this ^^^is ^^^a ^^^library >

Of all things to get depressed over, I’d be more concerned about that instead of folks finding a dumb commercial funny. It’s not like I’m going to now go buy whatever the commercial was marketing, it’s just funny to see sometimes. Not really that big of a deal. >

Then the whole halftime show being such a production, often polarizing because of its countless angles to take and hear about:
It was the greatest thing I've seen!
They were terrible!
Was anyone really paying attention?
Et al... >

The commercials used to be extremely clever and we wouldn't get to see them until super bowl. We would hear hints, but that was it. Now any commercials that show during super bowl has already released online well before the game. >


Im the therapist, hmmm, ohh, aha..200£ thanks >

Maybe a therapist should tell them not to worry about what others are excited about and find some joy in their own life. >

They're always lame anyway. 95% of them are just celebrity cameos. >

Now they are. They used to be really good. >

I've been wondering if the quality has actually changed or if I'm just getting old. >

Thank the whiny leftist SJWs for that shit. >

MAKE SUPERBOWL COMMERCIALS GREAT AGAIN >

They used to be entertaining and funny. When you're bombarded by ads the least they can do is make them entertaining. >

Honestly they were never good, people just convinced each other they were good so theyd have something non-sports to talk about during the game. When you are comparing things to your average wednesday insurance commercial, even the weather channel comes off like Breaking Bad. >

I bet you’re fun at parties. Especially Super Bowl parties. >

Imagine being so anti establishment that you actually get upset over people enjoying intentionally funny commercials. 
Humorous marketing is basically a company's way of saying "yeah we know nobody likes commercials but we think it makes us a lot of money so let's at least have a little fun with it." >

Yeah no.. Marketing team doesnt care about having fun
But keep talking about that funny ad you saw to all your friends, dont forget to share online aswell >

Sounds like you don't work in marketing:) >

Actually I did study it for years and gave up this path
Youre naive, they want you to have fun or be emotionnally impacted so you can remember the brand, but they dont care one bit about having fun creating something funny
Maybe the ones who PRODUCE/film or do the acting have fun
Do you think the guys who try to see what is the best way to use ur emotions for their benefits care about fun at all ?
Try working in marketing yourself then, or if you do try working in a marketing team of a brand big enough to get super bowls ad, trust me the word fun is not used the way you think it is >

Lmao I do work in marketing, I make a ton of money and have a blast doing it. Sorry you tried to study and gave up ^-^ 
You can always stop being so jaded and know-it-all like whenever you want >

Your way of working is not the same as other teams, especially when we are talking about super bowl ads
Glad you're having a blast focusing on psychology weak points of the people though, having morale is the reason i keep marketing in my CV and not job researches
Iam not trying to be know it all, but i get your point you're trying to rassure yourself that youre here to have fun and not manipulate people, keep making ton of money on weak people back
After all why not have a bit of "focused well thought and calculated in the details of every visual and audible way" fun ? >

Lol TIL some people have such a crazy victim complex that they actually think commercials are out to get them >

To be fair, the superbowl ads used to be pretty good.  Almost sit-com level quality.  
But no, not anymore. >

What else did Americans upset you with today? >

Exist. >

These people don't like football and can't even pretend to be watching the game . If it wasn't for the commercials, you would have to listen to them complain about you monopolizing the TV before the kids are in bed. >

I think these people lie about how much they enjoy the commercials just so they don't sound like such a buzzkiller. Even if half the people in the room would rather be watching paint dry, it's easy for them to say "Oh that one was funny" >

Why do you care though? >

It was a marketing ploy that worked very well. >

Well to be fair, because it is the most widely watched televised event of the year in the US, companies pull out all the stops to make sure their ad stands out.  Superbowl ads cost over $5m just for the ad spot, so the production value has to be good.  It is effectively watching companies try to create the most interesting/fun/engaging 30 second movie possible, and that can be pretty fun. >

Idk there are some hilarious chip commercials and I don’t think that only thing overpriced about that is the time slot. Also funny chip commercials don’t get me to buy the chips. >

Super bowl ads used to be funny. Now they are just run of the mill ads most of the time. And this year we are so “blessed” with he gets us jesus ads from hobby lobby, but marijuana ads showing medical benefits have been turned away so they can shove alcohol ads down our throat. >

Aww lighten up, who cares what makes people excited or happy as long as it isn’t hurting anyone?  You are being unnecessarily judgy here. I’m sure not everyone shares your exact opinion on the things that excite you and that’s okay >

Why do you care? >

People that only watch the Super Bowl "for the commercials" are the same people that still think calling it "sportsball" is original and hilarious. >

I cannot imagine how many ads I was forced to watch in the super bowl every year. I'm not much of a NFL fan at all, I only watch super bowls. >

I still remember the 3 second ad for Miller High Life that was just a dude that yelled HIGH LIFE while stand amongst a lot of High life. It was many years ago but probably the best commercial ever. >

Agree 100% It's absolutely insane how obnoxious American get around superbowl time. How can you look forward to fucking ads?!
While we're talking about ads; leave it to the Americans to fill an entire street with ads ac call it a "must see while in NYC!"
Times Square is all ads rising all the way to the sky and you're telling me a have to check out that tourist trap? It's just ads! It just happens to be overwhelmingly much ads in a concentrated spot and you're telling me it's worth looking at? No thanks >

Usually beats the heck outta the boring game. Also, is this sub the new official sh/t on America sub? >

I feel like that is every sub. >

Luckily for us, we don’t think about you. >

Everyone pretends to like Football when they don't.They don't want to look like the odd duck. That's why the ads are so popular. It give them something to watch. >

I make ads for a living. Can I make an ad for you? I feel like you need one. >

Honestly, it’s just an older form of TikTok/Reddit/Instagram. Quick bites of content to entertain and sell things. 
It’s no different than people talking about a funny meme they all saw. >

Here's the thing, we have to consume SOMETHING. We need food, we need clothes, and we need appliances.
There's a shitton of people, a shitton of needs that have to be filled, and a lot of jobs that depend on making stuff. I get the whole "companies are evil and manipulative" thing, I really do, but sometimes you just gotta let that go and let yourself have some fun. Lordy. >

The commercials are the only part of the game I actually enjoy.  The game itself is just a bunch of millionaires playing with a ball and I couldn't care less who actually wins.  The commercials are funny (except for the car ads) and they are different than the normal ads we are forced to sit through the rest of the year.  I really don't care what the ad is for just that it entertains me. >

the commercials are more entertaining than the game >

People: Spends lots of money on DVRs so that they can fast forward through commercials because commercials suck.
Also People: Watch stupid superbowl ads and get excited about it.
Though you have to admit the genius of the advertising industry for their being able to convince a large segment of the population that watching ads at some point is cool and fun. >

Wow, so many people butthurt that OP deigns to complain about commercials instead of cancer >

Have you ever watched the Super Bowl? >

It's at least adding entertainment value to the part of TV broadcasts that everyone usually hates >

It's a way to keep those that don't care for football also engaged. >

If people’s joy depresses you, I don’t want to know what makes you happy >

You only see these ones for a little while, whereas everyday commercials are consistently shoved down your throat. I saw ads for a mobile game - Love Nikki - at least once a day, every single day for MONTHS
