Define rock. I'd say it's The Who and that was a decade ago. Don't really consider Coldplay or Maroon 5 rock

If it was up to me they'd just bring back Bruno Mars every year.

I thought it was fine. A little bland.


Hologram of Prince's performance would probably please everyone. Best ever

The Weeknd.

Pretty big name but I thought it was a bit of an odd choice for halftime performer. One of the lower profile people of recent years IMO.
I mean, about the only person with a bigger song than him this past year was Cardi B, and I doubt they want to deal with the headache of even a censored WAP on network TV

Yeah seems they typically go with people who have been around for a while. He's definitely one of the biggest pop stars right now but has only been around for a few years.

I'd equate it to Bruno Mars a few years ago. A little more unknown to the over 30 crowd.

Maybe. But Bruno Mars was one of the best halftime shows ever. The surprise Red Hot Chili Peppers song was awesome.

Best comedy commercial of the night so far.

The Weeknd has had big hits going back to 2015

Yeah he's not new. But when you think of people like JLo and Shakira, Coldplay, Maroon 5 he's a bit newer to the scene than who they usually get.

I'd lump the killers in with them. Something in between pop and rock. Girl music. The Foos seem like an obvious choice, but they have skewed heavily pop lately.

They did a run of classic rock bands, Who, Stones, Paul McCartney, Tom Petty, etc, and people complained because it wasn't "exciting" enough.

Tonight was ok, but only knew the cant feel my face song, so wasn't real into it

We still don't know when movies are coming back, so no sense in paying astronomical prices to advertise them until we do. Hopefully summer.

I thought the Amy Schumer mayo ad might be funny since it was a Super Bowl ad, but I ended up deciding to never have mayonnaise on anything I eat again.

I'm interested in the show, however I do NOT want that flashback showing her and the lamb. Jodie Foster's brilliant telling of the story is all we need of that. We don't need to see it now.

Looks like CBS had a hard time selling ads, every other commercial was for Paramount+, The Equalizer, or Silence of the Lambs.

Halftime dancers all looked like they had jockstraps covering their faces. Not a great look.

They actually swapped into this super bowl from the rotation of nbc/fox/cbs so they could hype their paramount+ launch. NBC (or FOX, but I think this was supposed to be NBC's year) was happy to swap back to a non covid normal year with full attendance, normal ratings, normal parties, etc.

Just responding to the latest directive from Dr. Fauci.

I thought the halftime performance was good - all things considered.

You should check out his opening to the BET Awards from a few years ago. The dude is a great entertainer.

Thanks for this, OP. We had a bunch of people over to watch the game and couldn't really hear the commercials...or the game...or anything else really.

It was NBC, because NBC wants to be able to use the 2022 Super Bowl to lead directly into their 2022 Winter Olympics coverage. So a win-win for both networks.
