Anyone else hate watching the Super Bowl ads?

I always feel like the guy who doesn’t get to dress for the game or the free agent wondering why I’m not getting calls while everyone else gets to play.

99 percent of superbowl ads are an absolute waste of budget.

However the masses love them. I love the idea driven spots. But yes I’m with you, they’re overblown.

That wardrobe malfunction year really raised the bar on getting people to look at the TV during a Super Bowl party

I have never liked them either. And since we’re on the topic of the Super Bowl, I don’t watch the half time shows and frankly, the SB isn’t a SB in nice warm weather with palm trees. I want a SB played outside with driving snow. THATS a Super Bowl. 🏈❄️😋

I'm nostalgic for a time when people got excited about Super Bowl ads, but I don't hate them.

I just hate the feeling of being on the outside looking in. I used to just like seeing them.

My career was advertising for over 30 years. I miss it.

Superbowl ads are great. Imagining myself as the ad writer is a dream for me.
