Super Bowl LVI Commercials Discussion Thread

Hate to start with someone as odious as Jeff Bezos, and a product as obnoxious as Alexa, but damn this is a funny ad.

The annual obnoxious commercials and loud halftime show will be the main reason I will skipped out on watching the Superbowl.

Re: Super Bowl LVI Commercials Discussion Thread

Does the general public even know these two are "pogo sisters"? Without knowing that, the joke doesn't really work.

I had to look up what "pogo sisters" meant. And I don't know who either of those girls are. I am out of touch.

I am not familiar with that term, but yeah I think most folks know that they share history with Ashton Kutcher. Demi and Ashton was a really really big tabloid couple for a long time.

Okay I know them and see that now that you gave me the names, but didn't recognize them from the commercial (especially Demi).

And no, I still didn't know they both hooked up with Kutcher.

Pretty unlikely for the ones you named.

The talk so far is possibly for these:
Jurassic World: Dominion
Minions: The Rise of Gru
Nope
The Lost City
Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Top Gun: Maverick
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
Lightyear
The Adam Project

I didn't realize movie trailers during the Super Bowl was a thing anymore.

You can just jump on YouTube a few minutes later and watch it. And you know it already aired because it starts trending.

Decker, that ad is indeed funny. I love the bit where Alexa says setting reminder to fake your death on March 8th when he asks for the date of her performance. That really did make me chuckle.

I almost used the slang Eskimo sisters instead... but figured that would really not be known.

Yeah I had never heard of Pogo Sisters prior to today, but sort of figured it was the female equivalent of Esikimo brothers.

Apparently Demi and Mila also attended the same high school, which is where the initial idea for the commercial originated.
