For Halloween and Christmas Jimmy Kimmel challenged parents to torture their kids by doing cruel things to them as they filmed it. Well since the Super Bowl is an adult holiday, the ABC late night host challenged people of all ages to videotape the reactions of their loved ones and friends as they watched the Super Bowl. Sounds boring? Well it gets more exciting when he wanted to see how they would handle their TVs being unplugged during a key point in the game. As you can expect they were not so happy to even miss a second of the nail biter and took it out the pranksters. Watch the above video that aired on Jimmy Kimmel Live yesterday to see how the fans reacted to the blacked out TVs. And if you can get enough, you can watch the unedited videos on YouTube under Hey Jimmy Kimmel, I unplugged the TV during the game. Below is my favorite one of the bunch.
All week we have listened to Madonna talk about her movie and being her arrogant self that I completely forgot what an amazing musical performer she is. That was until her halftime show at the Super Bowl. She rocked that football field in a way only she can. I just wish she didn’t do her new song that sounds like it should be on the 1983 Valley Girl soundtrack instead of an album in 2012.
Back in 1979 Mean Joe Green did a Super Bowl commercial for Coca Cola that is still talked about today. So 33 years later Downy is recreating it with the football legend himself for the their new product Unstoppables to air during the big game and it is brilliant. You know everyone is talking about how Matthew Broderick reprised his role as Ferris Bueller for Honda, but I think this is a much better coup with an ending that doesn’t stink.
Isn’t it crazy that except for a few grey hairs the 65 year old Defensive Tackle hasn’t aged a day since he played football professionally? Watch the original Coke commercial below and I dare you to tell me doesn’t look the same.

The Super Bowl is a just a week and a half away, and we are getting the first look at the commercials that will be airing during the big game.
The first ad is a teaser for an unknown company that is bringing back a well known man…Ferris Bueller. The mysterious company posted the video titled “Coming Soon” on YouTube and said “We hate to be such a tease, but on a day like today, we just have to. Stick it out until the Super Bowl, or take a “day off” on Monday and catch the big reveal.” When I watched the :10 preview, I thought the mystery company was a hotel. But then when I went to the YouTube page, the related videos on the side are for curtains. So I am ass-u-me-ing that the ad is for a window dressing store. What do you think it is for?
Then another ad that got its debut today is so much more obvious that you don’t have to be blinded by the light to know that it is for Audi. To say that ad doesn’t suck would be an understatement. It had me laughing out loud.
When I was studying advertising in college, my goal was to have an ad during the Super Bowl because that is when the best of the best air. It looks like this year won’t disappoint. Especially if the Giants win. Go Giants.
A-Rod might be one of the best baseball players of today, but all of his hard work earning that title was ruined during one second at the Super Bowl. The Yankees’ slugger and his girlfriend Cameron Diaz went to the biggest football game of the year and they got caught by the cameras as she fed him popcorn. Lucky for him spring training is a few weeks away because if wasn’t, you know his teammates would be ripping him a new one. Lucky for the Yankees, the NY papers will be harassing him about it until they can.
