Speaker 1: Welcome everybody to this special episode of the Surely You
Can't Be Serious Podcasts. We are here right after the
super Bowl has finished to discuss who we think is
the best.
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay is definitely the best.
Speaker 1: Well, there's no question about that.
Speaker 2: We're here to talk about the best commercials, right.
Speaker 1: I got to say that the whole experience of tonight,
I'm glad that you were here. That was a good
thing for us to get to watch this together. It's
been kind of disappointing. And for disappointing, I was really
happy that our one guy who was a gen xer
won the super Bowl, but it wasn't much of a.
Speaker 2: Game they put it on, man, they beat them down.
Speaker 1: The commercials weren't really that great.
Speaker 2: Marsh's not good the show.
Speaker 1: I mean, I typically I haven't really had much interest
in NFL for a while now, and I watched the
super Bowl for the commercials and it was a disappointment.
But there were some that were pretty good. Yeah I
think so. Yeah. Fourth mentioning, Yeah, yeah, here's my thing.
Here's I got to say this. I got to give
this list, and you tell me if I've missed any here.
It is crazy the amount of retro commercials we had
for this one, right, So we had Wayne's World. Yes,
we had Pizza Hut with the old style tablecloth on,
the guy from the Office's jacket and the pac Man,
the tabletop pac Man. Right. We had Edward scissor Hands.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I.
Speaker 1: Forget it, and that was had that kid that's going
to be in the New Dune, which is also an
eighties deal. Right, you had the Paramount several Paramount commercials
which had Beavis and butt Head and several of the
other old school folks. You've now here's the thing CBS
Original shows what did we see over and over again? Clarice,
which is Silence of the Lambs again from the eighties,
and The Equalizer, which is like something like this old lady. Yeah,
it's an old lady. It's eighties, wasn't it. It was
the equal It was it was no that was even later,
like the back in the eighties. There was a guy
is this Yeah, he was this old dude, like old
white dude, not Queen Latifa at all. Clinton absolute opposite
of Clint Eastwood. Okay, yeah. The Equalizer nineteen eighty five
to nineteen eighty nine, starring mister Edward Woodward not at all,
Queen Latifa Edward Woodward, Yeah, who made I think his
final appearance in Hot Fuzzz, which was a good movie anyway.
Then we had two of the folks from the seventies
show in a commercial with Shaggy nineties right, right, well
two thousand, you know quick enough, Right, we had the
retro H and R Block dancing commercial.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 1: We had the bud Light commercials where they went back
to all of their old retro like all of those.
Speaker 2: Legends, right, red Light legends.
Speaker 1: Then we had Sesame singing the old classic Welcome to
My Neighborhood. Right, and then you had Dolly Parton singing
nine to five.
Speaker 2: I didn't really understand what that commercial was about. It
was retro, but.
Speaker 1: It was something about like, you don't have to work
nine to five, you can work five to nine. Some
weird I don't. You couldn't get it either, Okay.
Speaker 3: So it's crazy how many of those book they're definitely
appealing to our age bracket.
Speaker 1: I would say, yeah, and the and again. It boggles
my mind. The only gen Exerpt on either one of
these starting lineups was born in nineteen seventy seven. The
next guy on his team. It's eight years younger than
he is. The next oldest guy's eight years younger.
Speaker 2: He is incredible.
Speaker 1: Mean, most of these guys weren't even born when the
Super Bowl shoffle happened.
Speaker 2: Tom Brady has been to ten Super Bowls.
Speaker 1: He's won seven. It's crazy, it's shocking.
Speaker 2: It is crazy, really really incredible.
Speaker 1: Feat by him.
Speaker 3: So, okay, so we're gonna talk about.
Speaker 2: Our favorite commercials.
Speaker 1: Sure, do you want to touch the halftime show first, though, Yeah,
let's talk about apps show. Okay, Listen.
Speaker 2: I'm the first one to say I'm not caught up
on current music, so I didn't really know.
Speaker 3: I did recognize a couple of the tunes, you know.
I heard that he put seven million dollars of.
Speaker 2: His own money into the show.
Speaker 1: It was okay, I didn't think his volume level was
up high enough, right, Yeah, I mean in about two
thirds into this thing, I said, I'm not a mixer,
right professionally, but I would just say, turn up his
microphone a little bit.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And then he did this kind of weird thing
when he was in the kind of the area with
all the gold lights. And I told you that I'd
have a buddy who would be motion sick. I would
be motion sick watching them anyway.
Speaker 1: I actually I like The Weekend. He's one of the
few artists that I like, which is probably because his
music has a very eighties feel to it. But the
halftime show, I mean, it was good songs that they
didn't have the volume set right, and it was kind
of weird. It didn't even make it down onto the field
until the last song. Can we just say that Princess
Purple Rain best of all time moment of silence for
Princess Purple Rain halftime show, it was amazing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, all right, So we want to best commercials
peong back and forth, back and forth.
Speaker 1: Sure, okay, So runner two runners up for me? All right,
I'm gonna start with runner up. Runner up number one
is the okios yogurt commercial, The Ugly Faces commercial. I
like that one because Cole and I like to watch
the Fittest on Earth, which is the CrossFit Games, and
it had several of the guys from there. But I
just thought it was funny people making their other faces. Okay,
all right.
Speaker 2: Runner up number one for me, yeah is the I
don't even.
Speaker 3: Know the guy's name he was in Hot tip time Machine.
All it is him at Pizza Hut. Yeah, he's wearing
a jacket that has the same design as the tabletop
tablecloths from the old style Pizza Hut, and he's playing
pac Man and eating pizza at Pizza shocker that I
enjoyed the one where he's playing pac Man.
Speaker 1: Right. That is Craig Robinson, Thank you, who was on
the office as well. Yes, hot tub time machine for me.
Speaker 3: But yeah, pizza pac Man right up my alley.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, okay, So runner up number two for me
is the Eminem's commercial. I thought that was pretty solid.

have the the football playing beer beers from like long
time ago eight es.

of course I like retro stuff.
Speaker 1: And winner for me is the Will Ferrell commercial. I
thought it was hilarious. Oh okay. I him punching his
fist through the glow, I thought was hysterical. I mean
it was just absurd all over the place. And I
loved it.

the mirror video the Toyota swimmer with no legs adoption
from Siberia.
Speaker 1: I had that as my honorable mention. And we're midway
through that commercial, I'm like, I can't swallow my cheeseburgers
because there's a lump in month throat.
Speaker 2: I was like, this is the winner.

prefer funny to heart wrenching, but that was an amazingly good,
touching commercial. Yeah, I'll tiebreaker goes to her for sure.
