There are so many things that get on my nerves, but today I’m focused on one…
Showing the commercials to that “Big Football Game” before the game.
One year I happened to see ALL OF THEM before the game. I can’t begin to express my feelings with G-rated words.
I like football (my husband was a football coach) and I have a pretty good grasp on the game, but the thing I like best about this particular Sunday is watching the commercials (I could take or leave the half-time show).
If I were a company that payed a ton of money for one of the coveted slots, I’d be mad if it was fast forwarded over since it was already seen.
I need to pause, turn off of fast forward morning talk shows because they keep on showing them and talking about them. ENOUGH, stop stealing my joy!
I know there are plenty of people that watch them before, then do it online. At least give the viewers at home a heads up that you’re showing one of them.
It’s just a little thing, but it’s a little thing that irks me.
End rant!
I was thinking the same thing! I did see a couple of them last night but I was wondering why they would want to show them before. They pay good money for it to be premiered on the Super Bowl. So it’s not just you LOL.

Totally agree! I love the Super Bowl commercials almost as much as I love the game itself. When they show them all before the big day, it’s totally ruined.
I always see the commercials on my FB timeline when people post them after the game…because I hate football. LOL *ducks from incoming cans being thrown at her*
You know what I can’t stand about the commercials? HOw they are so inappropriate for children!!
I can agree with this! I use to look forward to the Big Game because of the new commercials.
I was thinking the same thing! 🙂 Love this post, rant away!
I agree! I am also wondering why they are doing that!
Yeah it seems like they are all available online beforehand. I think TV commercials in general aren’t working the way they once were so they had to change things. It really ruins the surprise on the big day.
I like to check out the commercials the next day. I have never understood why some of them come out a few days before.
I am not a huge football fan but I always watch the Super Bowl commercials. I can not believe how much money companies spend on them.
I love the funny commercials they play at the Super Bowl. I think it is a shame they spend so much on them. They should all do cheaper commercials and donate the rest to charity.

I love watching all the commercials during the Superbowl. It’s something I always look forward to during the game. It’s that and the food!
I don’t really watch the game but I like to see all the commercials. The thing is, I’d be happy to wait until after the game to see them. Why spoil it for others?
I know a lot of people who are only interested in the Super Bowl because of the commercials, but I myself cannot relate to that; I am a HUGE football fan, and I can’t wait to see my Pats take home a win and see Tom get his 5th ring woohoo
I feel the same way! I have already seen 2 from this years big game! What’s the point of having Superbowl commercials! lol
i love super bowl commercials. i think more than i love the superbowl. lol i agree they should not be showing then now
Totally agree! They’re called Super Bowl commericials for a reason. They’re mean to be shown on the Super Bowl. Stop ruining it!

I’m totally with you! I don’t want to see the commercials before the game. The commercials are part of the whole Super Bowl experience.

I love watching the commercials but I no longer have cable. I will have to watch them online.

I haven’t seen the commercials yet and look forward to seeing them on Sunday. I always enjoy them especially the Clydesdale horses.

We go to a large Superbowl party every year. I actually never seem to catch the commercials. I am always chatting or getting food. I maybe see one or two!
I know what your talking about. I never watch them anyway I am always in the kitchen cooking and getting ready to enjoy the game.

I agree with you! I really just watched the game for the commercials and the fact that you get to see them early just really steals the fun out of it.
The only reason I sit through the Superbowl is FOR THE COMMERCIALS!! So in other words- I FEEL YOU!
I don’t watch a lot of daytime TV so I haven’t seen any of them yet. I sometimes miss the SuperBowl too – I guess I’m glad they are available online so if I hear there is a good one I can go and find it.
All the news outlets I read are always showing “roundups” of the best commercials. I am not usually a fan of watching the game so I do enjoy seeing the commercials. And my team isn’t playing so there’s no need to watch!

I rarely watch live television(must love Netflix and DVRs), almost never, so I ever see commercials unless I specifically go to them online to see what the hype is about.
I hardly watch regular TV, so I haven’t seen any of the commercials yet. I did see that one was released, but I avoided it. For one thing, if you’re paying millions of dollars for 15 seconds, why wouldn’t you be protecting these a bit better??

The commercials are the best part of the Super Bowl for sure. I actually haven’t seen any leaked ones somehow, and I’m glad
I never noticed that they showed those commercials ahead of time. I guess they probably do that online before Superbowl.
Well, me personally, I don’t really give a crap about the game. I usually watch for just the commercials. I would have to say that if I could watch all the good commercials and not have to sit through the game, then that would be great for me.
I couldn’t agree more! I watch the game just to see the commercials. I don’t like that they ruin that now by going on early.
Yay. Finally someone spoke up about this. I hope they stop doing that! It takes away the excitement of it all. I have not seen any of them (thank goodness). There is still something I can look forward to.
I did think it was weird they show them early. However we don’t watch the Super Bowl but remember the commercials always being good!
I usually change the channel when they show the commercials. That way I can enjoy them on the game day. My husband checks out the commercials beforehand on online, though.
I agree with you 100%. I watch to the game for the commercials, lol, so I wish they’d quit showing them until the game.
The Superbowl commercials are my favorite part of the game by far and I totally agree with you. I wish they where just a surprise on game day.
