2026 Super Bowl Commercials Open Thread

Up first, The King of Beers:

Our Scanalyst ratings system is -5 to 5.

I give it a 2 as an adequate ad with no glaring problems.

Maybe stupor bowl commercials are different, but about half the ones I “see” (I try to not see or hear them and I’ve honed that skill), I can’t tell what is the product they’re trying to sell. Full of sound and fury and signifying nothing. Kind of like lefty performance art/political posturing.

A step up from that Bud Light tranny.

Thus, the Scanalyst scale offers negative numbers.

As to the original post, I agree, it’s a 2, but just maybe a 2.25.

Now as reference, you may want to view this assortment…

Why?
I hear on the news today that the halftime show will be in Spanish

If I want to hear Spanish I just go to the grocery store or nearly any store in NEPA.

Sorry but all of these Super Bowl commercials suck: crappy music, stupid products, gratuitous diversity.

Even this re-imagined version of the original 1984 ad (directed by Ridley Scott) is better.

If Grok made a 1984 Super Bowl commercial. My $1M Grok Imagine submission. https://t.co/GMDT90g4jD pic.twitter.com/NCT7jiJ6Sz
