CIH Super Bowl is DIY this year

I think it was for Microsoft that's just a pure guess!

What about the Snickers one with Danny Trejo?

I enjoyed the Clydesdale Horse as always. And the one with "Estella's Brilliant Bus" for Microsoft. What a wonderful lady, allowing her retirement money to go into kids who need technology and are allowed to use technology in her bus.

I don't think Nathan will abandon us 2 years in a row. Would you, Nathan? Maddy, we're simpy orphans, another year older, another year farther displaced, another year left to fend for ourselves, thus that much more street-wise and known to the 'public health departmexxxxs'...the things we have to do to survive, I tell ya! If we could only get Nathan to take a DNA test...

We gots a Pa and a Momma.

I imagine it was also inspired by Mo'ne Davis, a 13 year old girl who dominated in the Little League World Series last year with a brutal curve and a fastball reaching the low 70's - the equivalent of a low to mid 90's fastball in the big leagues as far as distance to home plate & reaction time go.  Though she's just one girl, she "debunked" the 'throwing like a girl' negative connotation by being one of the top pitchers in the LLWS last year.

Then again, said commercial probably has to do with boarding the PC train more than anything else.  But no worries, we'll still see plenty of advertising in 2015 to stereotype boys & men as irresponsible, lazy, can't-do-anything-right-without-help dunderheads

^^ I did.  The only bowl I watched yesterday was the Puppy Bowl, off and on.  Yesterday evening was a movie evening at the house of insanity.

^Yea, I know. It was a simple task free for any of us to undertake....what's that say about everyone but me?

I completely agree about the "Nationwide is Horrified" ad.  My jaw hit the floor...between Nationwide's  "hey, kids, you could die!  Drown in the tub!! Drink chemicals from under the sink!!" and the R-rated songs at the halftime show (no, "Work It" and "I Kissed a Girl" are  not kiddie-friendly, even when you have that Animatron Formerly Known as Katy Perry lip-synching them), I'm glad I didn't have any kiddies watching the Super Bowl with me.

I saw Katy Perry rubbing her ass up against the front of Lenny Kravitz when they were dueting "I Kissed a Girl".  I doubt that made much of a stir compared to the shenanigans of years past and what passes for family-friendly these days.  I was disappointed Lenny was onstage with Katy.  I was hoping he'd be performing on his own (or with his own backup band).  That's the only reason I watched the HT show.

I thought Nathan was supposed to start the actual "2015 Super Bowl Ads" thread.  He kind of told us he wouldn't be around again this year.  I don't think Nathan comes to the board any more unless he gets a PM.

^Sorry, Miss Priss. Yea, o.k., fine - THAT would indeed take intervention by Nathan, but I was talking about just starting threads (mabe one could prefix them with something like SB (for Super Bowl)...but, well, whatever...

Who are you calling Miss Priss?

That's what I meant when I entitled the thread "2015 Super Bowl Ads" as in the starting of the section in the whole SB Forum.  Unfortunately you, PaWolf, didn't realize that.  I do know that anyone can start a thread.
