One Second Superbowl

Okay, last night I did watch the superbowl just for the commercials. I am a football fan but only of the Broncos, and at the end of the first half it seemed pretty obvious the Ravens had it locked up.

So at 6:00 (MST) I watched Futurama. It was Raging Bender, an old favorite of mine. Meanwhile, the crappy half time show was going on the superbowl channel.

Now, for one second, on Fox, it flashed to the superbowl channel as if I'd changed the station. It immediately came right back, but I KNOW it was the superbowl because it was Steven Tyler singing, and when I flipped channels to see if the commercials were on yet, Aerosmith was playing.

There was no number denoting the channel in the upper right of my screen, so I know I didn't actually change the channel. I was on Fox the whole time.

Did anyone else see this or was I just dreaming?

Definitely not ready. After losing so many key players they need a few rebuilding years. Plus, Greise (I'm sure I'm spelling that wrong) needs a little more work before he's even close to Elway-dom.

Denver's problem is NOT on offense. They can't stop ANYONE!

Just the way Rhodes did such a great job in Green Bay, and Philly... Oh wait! he got fired from those jobs because he sucked. Never mind.

Peter Principle in effect. Shanahan is still the head coach. Rhodes isn't going to be the head coach. Rhodes will be the defensive coordinator. The Redskins defense went from 30th ranked to 4th ranked with Rhodes as defensive coordinator. If Rhodes can get the Broncos to the top ten, that's all they need.

Oh they'll do well. I see playoffs, but not superbowl. Not next year anyway.

Your TV is possessed by itty bitty devils, who know the solid type, bipolar because that's the type of transistors they gots.

DGH

Perhaps it was one too many trips to the superbowl keg that brought on this channel anomaly.

Sound's like somebody at your local Affiliate was drunk. But how bout the "running of the Squirrels" commercial. Meaningless company incredible add.

That was a great ad, but I just loved the one where the guy was about to get busy with his lady friend, but he want to get two beers. He was so happy he did a nice dance in the kitchen and upon opening the bottles drenched his date. That was freakin hilarious.

This is why there's AdCritic.com--that and the same company's "herding cats" commercial from awhile back!

I really liked the Budweiser. "Hey, what's going on?"

Very clever self parody.

"Watching the market recap, having an import."

Too funny.

Just a rip off of the "Cat Herders" commercial of last year. I liked the etrade "death of the .com" add this year.

Not really a ripoff, as it was for the same company.

It was more like a continuation of the same campaign.

Maybe next time they'll have a one-legged man in a butt kicking contest. ;+)

Let me answer this by way of personal experience: at 8 PM every night, just as Futurama is starting on Fox, it also starts at the same time, on Global.

My cable company, for some unfathomable reason, always at this time switches stations, blocking out Fox and instead broadcasting Global (I know this because they show canadian commercials suddenly on an american station, plus by flipping back and forth)

It caused a problem, actually, Sunday. They decided not to flip signals until Simpsons started because Global had the Superbowl...but when they switched over at 9 PM, the post-game show was still on and I missed the couch gag before they realized their goof and switched back.

...anyway, my point is, the cable nazis have that power.
