Bananas and hummus? The absolute fuck?!? I’ll have to post that . . . the Vine guy (Zach King) was there, and he was on The Amazing Race.

“I just got punched three times for my views on superhero movies!” I think there was going to be more going into it . . . but then Kobe died. ETA: “ja-kwan-ski trott”? Wasn’t he in one of those Key & Peele sketches?

In about two minutes, apparently.

I think the “real” Morty also wouldn’t know how to pronounce “jalapeño.” John and Chrissy are the magic, huh?

“NEWS CHECK! Shit, is that how his name is spelled?”

At least the game isn’t as ugly as last year.

What the heck with the animation and the “+6”?

Black Widow commercial. #NerdBonersIntensify Huh . . . two Bills, no Ted. You think Keanu was busy? BTW, I’ve never been to a Wal-Mart. Throwing it out there. 🤷‍♂️

Does Vegas have an over/under on how many candidates will appear in the halftime show? Gotta love the old NFL Films clips. If I ran NFL Network, I would’ve aired Super Bowl highlights films for 53 straight days.

Oh, fuck off with the political ad. Fuck all the way off.

Does Charlie Day always sound like Charlie Kelly? Not that I’m complaining.

Okay, so I know the last title for Kansas City was from the Royals in 2015. Do the Warriors play in San Francisco or Oakland? He was good back then. He might have been the only rep from Buffalo there. Does stuff like that get put online after the game? ETA: I think the (baseball) Giants last won the World Series in 2014.

Anyone got a list of NFLers from the pregame sketch?

I’m not really a football fan. I remembered reading the “Why Your Team Sucks” essays on Deadspin [RIP] at the start of the season. Here are the posts on the Chiefs and Niners. Damn, has there been a team that made a turnaround like the Niners? Dang.

Native-mimicking war chanting. Is that enough to root against the Chiefs?

Damn, Fugo has a lot of baggage. And his Stand looks every bit as irritated as him. When Abbacchio (IIRC) said that Fugo almost killed a teacher with an encyclopedia, I thought, “Wait, the whole thing?!?” Turns out it was just the one volume.

Heh. Bellichek getting booed at the NFL100 ceremony. And Gronk wears a bow tie. Seems in character. 😜 Huh. I wonder why OJ Simpson isn’t there. He did make the list. 😜😜😜😜😜

Puppy Bowl premieres at 2:56. First repeat at 6:03. Armadillo cheerleaders? Okay, then. And they got two massive Great Danes in the mix.

I had fun. I'm,surprised JJ would come for the pre-Super Bowl hosting gig. Three weeks ago, his Texans blew a 24-point lead in the second quarter . . . and the Chiefs wound up making it to the big game. Ouch. When I read this recap of the latest premiere of The Bachelor, I immediately figured there would be a "Pilot Hunk" sketch. My mistake was thinking SNL would run it immediately. With a lot of A-material for Adam Driver, I should have expected JJ would get this. And he did. And it was good, because it's barely more stupid than The Bachelor. Wait, so the thing stored in the Food Dude's posterior wasn't a Dutch Oven? #Rimshot #TipYourWaitress ETA: Of course Pete can ride a Hoverboard. And I'm thinking a few people were disappointed Jim Bruer didn't return to play My Cousin Vinny.

You were right. Well done. 👍

Predictions: We get a “Pilot Hunk” sketch JJ will do well for the first 20-25 minutes, but then get destroyed for the rest of the game show.

Tonight at 10: Eli Manning/Rihanna. I had figured that would be the case, given that Eli recently retired. But I figured the untimely death of Kobe Bryant would have altered that, even though he had — IIRC — never been on SNL. Was Eli the last NFLer to host before JJ Watts tonight? And didn’t we get a “Shy Randy” Digital Short with that ep?

No, I thought the "Stand" looked like a feminine version of Gold Experience from Golden Wind. ETA: I half-watched tonight's episode. Gotta love when a turtle get sacrificed and drained of blood to the delight of a packed arena. Uggggghh. Poor thing.

I was poking around my cable a few days ago, seeing Animal Planet going full-on with stuff tying in to Puppy Bowl XVI. Apparently, there will be two new episodes of Too Cute airing back-to-back at 6 a.m. Yeah, I don't know. Here are the descriptions: Is this the first time a featured puppy from a past season has become a mother on the show? All I really remember about Magic was that she was a pain in the butt back then. I'll try and find the other airtimes when I get home. I meant to post back when Animal Planet was airing repeats at 7 a.m. on weekdays, but now they got My Cat From Hell in there. I never watched the full episodes, but it was cute seeing familiar bits play out, as well as a few I had never seen before.

Wait, so we might see Stephen Amell again? My idea: reveal that the only reason Oliver became Spectre was to help birth a new reality. He would then give up the role and spend eternity with Felicity. In the aftermath, there would have to be a new vessel . . . that concept and resulting chaos was the basis for a pre-Infinite Crisis tie-in, where Eclipso (Jean Loring, Ray Palmer’s ex-wife; don’t ask) seduced the Spectre and had the Spirit of Vengeance run roughshod on the DCU.
