Worst Super Bowl commercials 2025

 

    Some Super Bowl commercials are considered memorable, but why does this year's batch feel forgettable to me? The best thing was the Eagles winning the Super Bowl. I can't believe that even happened and I'm happy about that more than these commercials. I'll give you the worst bunch before I pick one that I liked.

Pringles- I don't understand Pringles ads these days. I stopped eating those chips, although sometimes I do get a little craving, and I say little for the reason that I think other chips are tastier. This ad had Nick Offerman losing his mustache. He ain't the only one. Andy Reid, LeBron James and a few others as someone places their mouth into a pringles and hollers. I don't get it. How does this sell chips. It freaked me out.

Bud Light- I'm not a beer drinker, but I think most soda and beer companies go heavy with their super bowl ads. This one had Post Malone, Shane Gills and Payton Manning getting everyone to a backyard barbecue to make it the best as they serve bud light. I don't even give a shit anymore with ads that have too many celebrity endorsements. Good for them I guess, but didn't give a shit. 

HexGlad Cookware- I love Gordon Ramsay. He shows off some space age pan to some people, mostly aliens, and it was...fine. Not great, but I love Gordon and even he thinks Pete Davidson as an alien is a little...strange. Although, then again, he could be. I never use the products, so I would say...hit and miss. This commercial was not horrible, but forgettable.

Hellmann's- Ever seen the movie: When Harry Met Sally, well, I guess they wanted to relive the orgasm at the diner scene using Hellmann's mayonnaise. Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal are in this commercial reliving the diner experience. Having Hellmann's mayo in her sandwich. The you-know-what happens and well.... I won't have what she's having.

Totino's- I'll put this in the not bad category. Ever seen E.T.? I have...this pizza roll commercial has this alienlike creature hang out with Tim Robbins, Sam Richardson and a few kids as he starts to go home. The doors close...on him and he dies. The kids scream bloody murder as one of the father's says, "That's what happens." Or something like that. How does this show off the pizza roll? I felt like I watched Mac and Me with no tragedy.

Dunkin- Dunkin Donuts or whatever you wanna call it, has been pulling Ben Affleck into their commercials. He has his brother, Casey as well as few other people, mostly Bostonians as they're called into their ads. Jay and Silent Bob make an appearance. What do I think about this ad?  Stupid. I don't even drink coffee.

Somewhat Honorable mentions: 

  Stella Artois- I'm guessing this is a drink commercial that has Matt Damon and David Beckham in it that think they're long-lost brothers. LOL. How does this promote the drink? I guess I'm putting it in this category because it wasn't bad. Not good either; I like Matt Damon and well I don't drink this drink. Guessing it's alcohol. I feel this commercial was fine.

  Budweiser- I thought this commercial was one of my favorites. I never drank beer. Never will, but just like Bud Light and all the other ads, Budweiser is one of the tops in beer sales when it comes to Super Bowl commercials. This one had a tiny Clydesdale using all his might to deliver one small kegger of beer to his master who dropped it without realizing it. Bringing it all the way to him. Not a bad ad at all. One of my favorites.

    

Michelob Ultra- Another beer ad that I thought was pretty good. Two actors from the Beetlejuice movie, Catherine O'Hara and Willem DeFoe decide to play pickleball with random strangers for the Michelob beer. They win and challenge others. They would lose as well. I never knew both of them were good at pickleball. Then again, it is a beer ad, and I bet they wanted the beer pretty badly.

Booking.com- Booking. com is a site to find places to book. Like Airbnb, but stranger. I don't know there are so many sites now to blook places it's getting out of hand. This one has the Muppets. It's...passible. I love the Muppets, well...I used to. They're still around and in this ad, they try to find a place to stay. Miss Piggy all draped in pink, Kermit and Fozzie finding a place. Gonzo on a rocket. All that. This is fine, I just don't use that site at all.

Little Caesars- The pizzeria that's trying to be Dominos or Pizza Hut, this ad has Eugene Levy with his eyebrows all happy for eating a small bite-size pizza puff they have in Little Caesars. Not as creepy as the Pringles one, this was ok. I love Eugene Levy and well...the pizza place is ok. I haven't had it in years. Would I try it because of this ad? Do I fear my eyebrows will do that? We'll see, but mostly no.

THE ONE TO GIVE YOU NIGHTMARES:

Mountain Dew- First off... Seal is a seal. Well, they used computers to digitally place his face on a seal. He sings 'Kiss from a Lime' from his original song, 'kiss from a rose' He tries to open a Mountain Dew with a twist of lime, but he's a fuckin' seal. I don't think it'll open. It also had...I think Jason Mamoma or an impersonator driving a boat and everyone enjoying the Mountain Dew in question. My eyes almost bled after seeing that. I would not try the product after seeing that.

   There were so many ads. And yet, why did they not feel special this year? Maybe I was more focused on the game, or maybe I don't know I just felt they weren't as special as the rest. Glen Powell driving a Ram truck, Bill Murry in a Yahoo ad, Shaboozy eating Nerds and many more. Even Bad Bunny, Michael Shannon and Aubrey Plaza eating Ritz wasn't that popular. These ads were trying to get their product out the door and into people's homes. That's what all ads do. This year....it might have for some people, but not for me. I was happy for the Philadelphia Eagles winning the Super Bowl this year.

Happy Valentine's Day- POEM

It's the day of Love

A day where

Love

kids do it digitally.

Cutting hearts out of construction paper,

trying not to feel embarrassed with what you write,

on your card,

feeling that,

they will love you back

Feeling special,

today,

makes you feel,

special inside,

even giving you,

the feeling of love

Enjoy your Valentine's day,

alone,

or with someone you love,

feel the love,

no matter where you are,

Happy Valentine's Day

Celebrity Jeopardy SNL edition

   In honor of SNL turning 50 this year, I wanna talk about one skit that I thought was the best skits they have ever had. Sadly, it is no longer around since Alex Trebek passed away. 

    It was called 'Celebrity Jeopardy'; thought up by Norm MacDonald as he portrayed Burt Reynolds, there were other interesting celebrities.

 

   The best had to be Darryl Hammond portraying Sean Connery who always would pick on Alex Trebek. Laughing at him, making remarks on his sexuality, and claiming he would sleep with his mother. 

  I fell in love with these skits, and you can't get any funnier than what he would say.

  Some celebrity portraits are pretty good. Especially with Jimmy Fallon. He was French Stewart, Robin Williams, Dave Matthews, Hillary Swank and many more. He would annoy Alex Trebek with the silly voices, especially when he was Robin Williams. 

  He can do amazing impressions, but he's not the only one.

  Alex Trebek is portrayed by Will Farrell. Love this guy and it amazes me how he keeps a straight face when Sean Connery is egging him on. 

    It seems the character is so strong, it feels as if Alex Trebek himself would do the same thing and so would Sean Connery. Even some of the guest stars of SNL portray pretty good impressions of certain characters.

    Celebrities like Reese Witherspoon portraying Anne Hasche, Tobey McGuire doing a killer impression of Keanu Reeves and even Alec Baldwin portraying Tony Bennett. It was pretty good.

  David Duchovny even played Jeff Goldblum, and the impression is so similar to the real Goldblum. Kate McKinnon was pretty good at play Justin Bieber and Keanan Thomson was...Bill Cosby. This was before all the #Metoo movement.

   Norm McDonald as Burt Reynolds or 'Turd Ferguson' as he liked to be called was the best. I miss Norm and well...without him, this skit would have never happened. 

   He would be there for a while and do the same thing Sean Connery would do. Make jokes and wear huge hats to piss of Alex Trebek

  Unfortunately, Will Farrell left SNL to peruse a movie Career. The last time he did SNL's Celebrity Jeopardy; the real Alex Trebek made an appearance and the audience cheered as they usually would.

  Sean Connery decided to make some jokes commenting their sexuality and all. These skits still make me laugh, but sadly...it can't be done anymore without the Alex Trebek around as well as Sean Connery.

   Around the 40th Anniversary they did another Celebrity Jeopardy skit.  Having not only Norm McDonald back, but Jim Carrey also made an appearance as Matthew Mcconahay. 

   It was pretty good. What I also like to talk about is what Sean Connery would like to do to some of the categories. Make then different so he could piss off Trebek. Like Let it Snow would be 'Le Tits Now', Therapist would be 'The Rapist', Famous Horseman, he would change it to 'Whore Seman' and so on and so forth.

  One of the last SNL Celebrity Jeopardy episodes had Tom Hanks portraying himself as a dimwit person and well...it was entertaining.

   Sadly, there hasn't been another one since Alex Trebek's death. It wouldn't be the same. With the 50th SNL anniversary coming up, who knows what's going to happen.

  They did have another Jeopardy version called Black Jeopardy where Kenan Thompson would be the host and there would be two African American contestants and another that's either white or even Black Panther.

  It's not as great as the original but still entertaining, and we miss Chadwick Boseman today.

  There are a lot of skits on SNL that have been enjoyable. I just wanted to mention the one that made me laugh the most.

   There is an actual Celebrity Jeopardy happening now with celebrities trying to answer questions to win money for their charity. I'll enjoy that for now and still remember there are clips of the SNL version that I enjoy today.

Happy B-day, Seth Green

    I used to have a crush on this actor a long time ago. I guess when I was in high school. But now, I appreciate him more as an actor. His name is Seth Green, and he was born around Philadelphia in Overbrook Park in 1974. Ten years before I was born.

     

 Born Seth Benjamin Gesshiel, Seth started his acting in the mid to late 80's starring in mostly commercials from Pudding to Burger King.

  He has a sister and was born to a Jewish family. I didn't recognize him much until I saw him in a short movie. I didn't know how old he really was. Actually, some people mistaken him for five when he's really eleven. Like me, he had a childlike face and was small for his height. I'm in my early forties and...I don't even like it. 

   In 1990, there was a short miniseries based one of Stephen King's books called 'IT' about a clown that kills every 27 years. Seth plays Richie. A teenage boy who joins the so-called, "loser club." He plays the young Richie.

    I remember some scenes in this miniseries, but if you read the book...not only is it long, but it's pretty graphic and not from the clown killing kids. They did a new version of IT, and I thought Seth Green would be great portraying the Older Richie. Instead, they had Bill Hader. Not a bad actor, but I just thought it would be interesting. He thought the movie was just as creepy one as the original was. He couldn't believe how long it was either.

  I started noticing him when I was thirteen, and he was twenty-three. Seth played Mike Myers son.  Dr. Evil's son named Scott. He seemed like a gen X teen being played by a twenty-year-old. They had some sequels, and he was in them as well.

   He eventually became Dr. Evil by the end of the third, and I think final movie. He started becoming popular around the 90's starring in movies like idol Hand, Can't Hardly Wait and Rat Race.

     In 1999, his career would change when he met a young man named Seth McFarlane. A year older than he was, he told Seth that he wanted him to voice a character in his new cartoon called "Family Guy" 

  Even today, Seth has voiced Chris Griffin, a dimwit teenager who gets into fights and farts a lot and well.... I haven't seen the new episodes since I fell out of the show's new seasons.

 A few years later, he made a show I loved called Robot Chicken. A stop motion show that involves funny clips like Star Wars or Toy Story or anything that makes it into the show. 

   Starting the show with a mad scientist grabbing a dead chicken on the road and making it into a robot. Ever since, they had a couple of seasons and well...they recently ended since Seth Green was busy with other projects and felt Robot Chicken ran its course.

While he was working with Robot Chicken, Seth settled down and got married to a woman named Claire Grant. She worked with him on Robot Chicken. I was happy for him, because by that time...I fell out of love for him.

  I started thinking of him more as a friend or cousin than I would a lover (plus I started falling for Chris Pine) He doesn't have any children yet, and he's somewhat past that mark of having them. Then again, you never know.

 

 Today is Seth's 51st birthday. Sharing it with John Williams and the late Gary Coleman. 51 one years old, and he's ten years older than I am. 

   Accomplishing a lot in his young life, and I don't think he'll be leaving Family Guy anytime soon. Happy Birthday, Seth Green!

Remembering Groundhog's day

 

    Ever since the second day of February, a little Groundhog predicts our weather to see if we make it to an Early Spring or screwed with more winter.

    How? By seeing its shadow or not. When I was young, I always thought if he saw his shadow, we'd get more spring. I found out I was wrong a few years later. 

   It's rare that he would be able to see his shadow. He has over eighteen times. Last year being one of them. He usually would see it and many people would get pissed. How did this tradition start, and what will happen in the near future?

    Will every February 2nd be Groundhog's Day or will there soon be a change in the near future. I feel some people, especially people in PETA want to get rid of the Groundhog all together.

   PETA wants to do away with the day all together and have something inadiment, like a coin or a piece of cake to predict the future.

    This is true people. They believe the Groundhog is suffering every 2nd day of February for a tradition started back in the thirties. They even wanted to do away with the Groundhog and replace it with a cake you would get at a Gender reveal party.

  The first Groundhog's Day started a long time ago in another country. Using a Badger in place of a Groundhog. It would be known as Badger Day, and it took place around Germany where it was called Daschtag.

    So... why replace one animal with another? Who knows; I guess it was a traditional thing. Plus, Badger Day was on the first day of February, not the second.

   Groundhog's Day was also a movie that came out in the 90's starring Bill Murray. He would have to relive the same day over, and over, and over. That day.... being Groundhog's Day. One day he would steal the groundhog and kill it as well as himself.

    It's an interesting movie and I'm not much of a Bill Murray/Chris Elliot fan, but I enjoyed it. They used fake and real Groundhog's for the movie, one of them biting Bill Murray in the truck stealing scene.

 Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, right near Pittsburgh, would be the most celebrated festival of Groundhog's Day since the 1880's. Even the Movie (some scones taking place in Chicago) would focus on that city as well.

   It might have been started up by a Newspaper columnists back then. History is fuzzy on that one, but they have a museum on all things Groundhog's Day. 

   Should the Groundhog be replaced by a cake? The same cake you would get at a gender reveal party. I don't think so. I feel the Groundhog is only doing this once a year, so I think he's pretty safe; and handled cearefully.

   Besides....it would be more boring to have a cake predict the future of our weather. The groundhog isn't good at it either, but it's not a bad thing. Till then, we have to deal with six more weeks of cold. But I think we'll be fine. Happy Groundhog's Day!

January Vanishing

     A year is going by so fast, and you can tell when the first season vanishes. It's true, we are near the end of the first month of this year.

     How does it happen? We blink, like we do every day, and suddenly, Super Bowl starts, and January vanishes.

   Some people don't believe it already. It feels....as if, another year wants to vanish into thin air, and not much has happened.

     Ok, a few things have happened. Some good and some bad. Having an inauguration that not many people saw to a NFC Championship win in Philadelphia.

   Though, not till February, a team that has already won twice is trying to get a third. I don't want that to happen, and I don't think many people do as well. Because of cheating referees, the Kansas City Chiefs found their way to get into the Super Bowl.

    For us, the Eagles, we had no idea that we had...a secret weapon. And in most of January, we witnessed how fast he was running and that we are now...in the Super Bowl.

    Till then, we'll have to wait, for one month to vanish. It doesn't mean winter is over, it just means...it's near the end. Not all the way, but close. People want the cold to go away, but they will soon bitch about the heat. They can't win.

   January is a month that isn't forgettable but is...sort of...not seen as a a month that is full of happiness unless your birthday is that month.

  Till then, winter will still be here but will be gone before you know it. We are heading to a month...full of love, a month that reminds us to keep our heart healthy, to see a groundhog witness Spring coming or not.

  A month where it is short and will be gone before you know it. Till then.... Goodbye January. We will semi miss this month and let's get ready...for the new one. GO BIRDS!
