Usually most of the post-game discussion is about the commercials. I'm surprised I've seen nothing so far. My Fox morning show here in Phoenix and a reviewer literally tore the entire commercial set apart. I saw only one commercial (Nissan) and it made absolutely no sense. Even the Budweiser horse and dog got no love.

I have this button that mutes the sound whenever commercials come on. So I missed a lot of them. But here's an article about the commercials during the super bowl:

Super Bowl 2022: The most notable commercials
Some highlights include an “Austin Powers” reunion, a Lindsay Lohan comeback and an Amazon Echo that reads the minds of celebrity couple Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost.

That's odd. If you were watching on NBC, you should've seen a plethora of super bowl commercials, so your local affiliate goofed something up, I'd imagine.
Yeah, not too many people brought up the commercials this year, odd. To catch you up:
| Title | Commercial Description | Video |
| Push it! (By: Frito-Lay) | A curious adventurer sets atop a tree, and as he looks through binoculars, he drops his Flaming Hot Doritos. Some animals become interested in the product, and upon tasting them, discovers the spiciness of it, their reaction being random noises. These noises attract more creatures to the point that the adventurer can't retrieve his chips. The final scene shows the sloth refusing to give the chips back, and running away with it. | |
| Keeping up with the Joneses (By: Toyota) | Tommy Lee Jones (Black truck) is stopped at a dirt road intersection, only to have Leslie Jones (orange truck) pull up next to him. They exchange a greeting, and then they race. In the background, a Tom Jones song can be heard. Leslie yells at Tommy for splashing the windshield with mud. Rashida Jones appears in a greenish looking truck. The scene then changes to a wintry landscape. They continue to race, as Leslie yells "Tree!" (she safely passes underneath the branch). They all pull up to a plateau to breath, as Nick Jonas (red truck) joins them, to the group's confusion. Tommy says, "Try to keep up, whoever you are". | |
| Zeus and Hera (By: BMW) | Arnold Schwarzenegger, playing as Zeus, and Salma Hayek as Hera, announce they are retiring from the heavenly realm. As they settle on Earth, Zeus deals with demanding neighbors who wants him to charge their stuff. There is a scene where he struggles to operate the microwave, and Hera responds with "It's not rocket science". Zeus eventually blacks out the entire town in a presumed fit of rage. Upon seeing an "all-eletric" BMW, Zeus is apparently re-charged. The voice-over for the ad begins as the characters drive on an urban street signing "Electric Avenue", and changing the lights at their discretion. | |
| Thrill Driver (By: Nissan) | You already saw the Nissan one with Eugene Levy in it, which I think they just wanted to get a Fast and Furious vibe going to acclimate those fans. | - |
| Bring down the House (By: NFL) | Two kids, seemingly home alone, are playing a football video game (likely a tribute to John Madden), and the boy is trash talking the girl. Suddenly, the football comes out of the screen, to the children's' shock. Dozens of NFL players, past and present, follow. They seem to be about one quarter the size of the kids. Both sides scream of surprise/horror until one of the athletes (Chase Young, Washington) says to get the ball. Action commences, and chaos ensues, eventually leading Lamar Jackson to bust through a photo on the wall. Ray Lewis causes the stove to be set on fire while Rob Gronkowski dances on the counter. As more shenanigan's occur, the football lands in the grandmother's mouth. (We discover there is a grandma, sleeping). The football does pop out, and the scene goes from inside to outside, and Kyler Murray throws a pass into a swimming pool. This causes the ref to issue 137 flags on the play (Obviously some form of parody here). The girl at this point huddles up everybody, including Peyton Manning in order to make a game winning play. As always, PM calls an audible (Ice-cream, intriguingly). He is able to run through the defenders, but couldn't outlast the baby in the Eagles uniform. He laterals the ball to Walter Payton, who seemingly scores a touchdown, causing the game to end, and the players to be sucked back into the game. The girl wins the game. As Peyton Manning leaves, he shouts his famous "Omaha". At this point, the parents arrive from grocery shopping to discover the mess, and asks what happened. Granny, now awakened, says "Football happened". |
My favorite by far though, was probably the Doritos one. It was cute, clever, and innocent. I also enjoyed the Pringles one with the hand stuck in the container. It was hilariously relatable, and yet at the same time creepy. Also, just why must the packaging be a circle too small to reach?
One that left me scratching my head was the Salesforce one. When the Salesforce ad came on, all I saw was a QR code bouncing around on the screen the entire time. My Dad tried to scan it with his app, but it wouldn't go through. I finally went on YouTube and watched the real ad, and it was actually a good one. But that was an odd experiment to try on Live TV during the super bowl.
I usually pay no attention to commercials and this year was no exception. I was just commenting that the usual buzz didn't seem to follow the game as it usually does.
The bouncing QR code wasn't a Salesforce ad, it was an ad for one of the Crypto brokers. So that's why you saw something different when you looked it up.
I wonder why the Crypto brokers did it like that, and was the code a link to the commercial?
Turns out the QR code crashed their site and they had to throttle traffic for a while.

It should have been a link to their website.
Best commercials:
Disney+ and the cute goats dressed like Disney and Marvel characters. Let's face it, they are amusing (especially baby goats when they jump), and I have relatives who raise and sell goats for a living in the lower Yakima valley. Kudos to having a Woody (Toy Story) goat.
Budweiser Clydesdales...always a delight to see, goes with Americana as much as the Vince Lombardi trophy, baseball, and cherry pie. They are so magnificent.
Kia with the Robot dog was charming.
The NFL 'bringing down the house' ad where video game NFL characters took over a family's home at the very end of a Madden NFL game...
Oculus VR - it's obvious the writers got the idea from Chuck E. Cheese's and Munch's Make Believe Band. The trend of moving the animatronics out is really happening, replacing them with a dance floor and a guy in a Chuck E. suit.
An 88-year-old Willie Nelson for Skechers. I'm just glad, praise God, he's still alive and well doing what he loves!
Bad ads...
McDonald's 'Can I get uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-----'
ahhhhhhhhh SHUT UP!! Ronald McDonald should have ripped the commercial off the air.
Flamin' Hot Cheetos for using that stupid Salt 'n Pepa song.
T-Mobile, not for Dolly Parton, of course, but ruining it with Miley. It came in like "9 to 5" and came out like a wrecking ball. Ugh.
The WTF...
Coinbase scrolling a QR code like a DVD screensaver. Or whatever it was. I figured it was a subliminal message so they could hack into millions of phones during the Big Game.
Better than best?
Cooper Kupp as MVP for a Super Bowl-winning L.A. Rams...a hometown Yakima hero!!!!! Way to go! I was so happy for him and I am sure the people of Yakima will welcome him back in style! Along with the folks over at Cheney (EWU)!

🤣 Yeah. So T-Mobile customer here already, and I do not want to be told to save the phone by anybody Thay's borderline creepy. But Cyrus took the cake for just making it bad.
Exactly how I felt. I was just waiting for it to hit the corner just like old times
.Yikes.
Cheers for Kupp!
None of them were worth watching. At least the game was good (which is all that matters, anyway).
