Ok, the Breaking Bad one was pretty cute. 🙂 ---

Still waiting for Ozzy. Or did I miss it? ---

I didn’t know that Gronkowski kick was live and for real. ---

Ozzy has made an appearance. Underwhelming. ---

A couple have been cute. Most have been awful to incomprehensible. The worst had to be the Remy Martin ad. When it finally got to the long-delayed ending and turned out only to tout a cognac, my wife and I laughed out loud simultaneously. ---

The game is more interesting than the commercials. I feel cheated. ---

The trailer for The Flash was ok. The M&M/Maya spot was, well… weak. Too much set-up to get to this. Overall, nothing memorable. ---

Do they still run Super Bowl ads for the post game show? Or are they regular ads now? ---

Eh, never mind. But weird that Fox Sports is now playing the next show, a sort of cooking gameshow. ---

Breaking Bad and John Travolta…so awesome. Whatever they were advertising. No, wait. It was Doritos, right? I hate them, but I guess their commercial succeeded. ---

Oh! Also liked the people dancing to the hold music. That’s my favorite hold music; I would totally buy it. What they were actually selling, I don’t know. ---

So did they order a companion puppy from Amazon, or just the crate. I hope it’s the latter. ---

> [@BigT](#): > > But weird that Fox Sports is now playing the next show, a sort of cooking gameshow. It’s been a tradition, for a couple of decades, that the network which showed the Super Bowl then runs a regular program after the post-game show, specifically to draw eyeballs to it. Sometimes it’s a special episode of a regular series (NBC did that once or twice with _Friends_), but usually, it’s a program that the network hopes will benefit from people seeing it at the special time, then will seek it out at its normal time. ---

The sole purpose of advertising is to _ **get you to remember the name of the product** _. Didn’t work on me. You? ---

> [@Peanuthead](#): > > The sole purpose of advertising is to _ **get you to remember the name of the product** _. I work in advertising, and I would disagree that it’s the **sole purpose** , but I would agree that an ad which doesn’t do a good job in conveying the name of the brand/advertiser is likely not an effective ad.
