I love the Small cat food commercials with Oscar the cat. He's so adorable and ending with him the box is so accurate. 

That's my one exception to being annoyed by all the commercials for overly expensive pet foods because Oscar in the box is tote adorbs.

Yes it is.

I like the Special K commercial with the tiny Asian woman living her life, being strong and self-sufficient because she eats her healthy cereal. It's odd because it's a grey-toned ad that at first I thought was going to be a PSA for some religion or a Life Alert kind of service, but instead, it's, "Eat this and you will be able to live life." I'm impressed.

I’ve seen a couple new Super Bowl ads that are hilarious. Watch out for Eugene Levy for Little Caesar’s and David Beckham for Stella Artois. Very funny!

[Browncoat]

Once upon a time, we'd actually have to wait until the Super Bowl (or after) to see the Super Bowl commercials.  It just seems wrong that I can watch them so far in advance.

At least we don’t have to worry about missing anything when we go to the bathroom. 😄

I go during the game so I'm ready for the commercials.

I don't even care about Instacart, but I'm so glad to see the Old Spice guy doing this Super Bowl commercial.

I could have done without seeing puppy monkey baby again ever in my whole life.

But the Old Spice guy can show up any time.

If nothing else the puppymonkeybaby ads did their job because they're not exactly easy to forget.............or get out of your head once you've seen one. So they certainly did what they were meant to do.

Not really, though.  I remember the puppy monkey baby, but I have absolutely no idea what the ad was for.

I love the new Aflac commercial with the stunt duck instead of the stunt man.

Exactly.  I remember the horrifying creature but couldn't tell you what that commercial was supposed to be selling if my life depended on it.  The Seal as a seal commercial, however, I'll never forget that it's a Mountain Dew ad.

I can't decide if I like that one or am horrified by it.  It is clever and amusing, but also the stuff of nightmares.

[One4Sorrow2TooBad]

LOL ! The King looks like Siegfried Farnon (Samuel West) from All Creatures Great and Small.  Anybody else catch this????

[kathyk2]

I love the Rocket Money ad where everyone is singing Country Roads.

Love this Progressive Insurance commercial, "That's a whole rabbit."

Ha!  I also had a rabbit named Foot. He wasn’t Swedish. Or from NJ.

There was a report on the network national news tonight about kayaker who was “swallowed” (then immediately spit out) by a humpback whale. (Somehow it got caught on video.)  Followed directly by a Pacific Life commercial featuring mother and child humpback whales. Best product placement ever!

That's interesting because just a few days ago I watched an episode of "History's Most Shocking" on the History Channel and it featured a video of 2 women whale spotters that were swallowed by a whale accidentally and were spit out. It happened on a whale spotting expedition where people went out in small boats to get up close to the whales, I forget where. Interesting coincidence!

The Weather Tec commercial with a carful of rowdy grannies is pretty funny, although I draw the line at the boob-flashing at the bingo parlor.

I guess we don't taste good to whales if they keep spitting us out, must not like pork either then.

It's actually that hump back whales' mouths and throats are not designed to be able to swallow or break down humans or any large creature so that's why they spit us out. They feed on small fish that swim in huge schools. It's only when humans get close to them when they're feeding on those fish that they accidently get scooped up along with them. I learned that from watching that show.

And that's the problem with the internet & texting. I guess I should have put a laughing emoji at the end because in my mind it was funny & meant as a joke as there's not many pigs in the ocean.

But thank you for the whale lesson.

LOL, you're welcome. But knowing me, I probably would have given it to you anyway. 😉

Krill are also an important food source for humpback whales, and krill overfishing (for krill oil) is a huge problem.

You mean we don't taste like fishy chicken?

Original pork not that awful fishy stuff that's full of water..

Don't care about the vehicle, but love the song...which I was really surprised is sung by Elaine Stritch (and not a Latina singer like I originally thought)!
