Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for February 13, 2022

oh, Toni’s in-laws are more into the game’s commercials than the game itself, eh?

I think this panel is cute.

So… Rams or Bengals?? I’m thinking Rams

Puddles wants to watch the Puppy Bowl. Me, too, Puddles. Me, too.

I’ll be at the movies tomorrow.

Ummm … wouldn’t the parents be at the Fuse? Game Day should be extra busy.

My heart says the Bengals Because Joe has that connection to my LSU Tigers.

I used to watch only the ads and an occasional half time show. Now the ads all get played on the news for a few days before and after, and I don’t like the music in recent years, so I don’t have to have the game on at all.

For a moment I thought Brad was saying “Here comes the first aid!”

The DeGroot women sure are babes.

Going to the game and recording the Puppy Bowl!

Sheesh.

Why do “Folks” get so hyped up over the premier of commercials during a Super Bowl that they’ll see ad nauseam for the rest of the year?

Including on those pay to watch networks like Hulu, Disney, and Paramount where you have to pay extra NOT to see ‘em.

Forget the commercials.

Forget the half-time show.

There’s a handful of Us that just want to watch the game while eating Pringles and drinking COFFEE.

And maybe ponder this question:

What would have happened if Screaming J Hawkins was asked, and agreed to sing the National Anthem during a Super Bowl? ;-)

I’ll watch it at my daughter’s home—but only because she makes the best deviled eggs and nachos. I was hoping for a replay of Super Bowl 1.

’Ol Brd here is going to be in front of his television on Sunday. Being an avid birdwatcher, there is supposed to be a show on Sunday called “The Superb Owl”

.

Hoot, Hoot, y’all!

As usual, Luann is absent again, on a different astral plane!!

Budwiser. Or maybe Pepsi.

Who else is surised that Luann is sitting between Toni and Brad? And where the chair for Frank?

What did I miss this week?

Oh, Waiter, just set it over here.

wow, frank sure is dressed nice to watch super bowl ads.

It’s so nice to see how much this family is happy to be together. Toni loves them so much ♡.

In ads, I’m rooting for the Clydesdales.

Where’s everyone’s “favorite” pain in the neck, Shannon?

There are some that tune into the game just for this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FLgShtdxQ8

No booze?

What did Luann think the family was there for??

To quote Bugs Bunny, “Whatta maroon!!”

Frank, indeed, looks dressed for the role of server.

The Simpsons………

Brad needs a better face. Seems so flat compared to the others

Uh oh! Nancy said The Words Which Must Not Be Said. Expect a call from the NFL lawyers.

The rich intellectual fare

at which they are planning to stare…

Four hours and more

With commercials galore

O how I wish I could be there…

I’m looking forward to great ads. Of course, there’s some athletic competition they have to throw in to satisfy certain viewers, go figure.

" NUTS " – to all the Roman colosseum games. Efforts to control the masses ?

Alexa, what am I thinking?

Sadly the 2 best teams are already home and the ads just are not entertaining any more.

Who cares about the game? It’s the ads that I’m looking forward towards.

Ad watching was much more fun before the companies all started releasing them weeks in advance. It ruins the anticipation. But makes potty breaks more doable, at least.

hopefully they’re funny this year. :D

Is there some sporting event happening today?

“I do not regard advertising as entertainment or an art form, but as a medium of information. When I write an advertisement, I don’t want you to tell me that you find it ‘creative.’ I want you to find it so interesting that you buy the product. If you, my fellow copywriters or art directors, want to win the award, devote your genius to making the cash register ring.” – David Ogilvy

So where is Shannon? If not kept an eye on, she get’s into Super Bowl size trouble

about the only thing worth watching the WOKE nfl for….

Where’s Dad supposed to sit?

Nonsense. All of it.

Aren’t the ads often available on YouTube later? In any case Frank should really be bringing beer for these poor people.

I just like to watch the tall guy throw the ball and the running guy catch it. Reminds me of baseball.

That pretty much sums it up.

Puddles looks the happiest

As a general sports fan, I LOVE the Super Bowl – ALL sports are best at playoff time.But having a game – ANY game – polluted by the shameless, tawdry glitz that this game is done with is a shameful, pathetic commentary on our culture.

RAMS

I can’t recall the last time there were more than a couple of good SB ads. They used to be good, now they are meh.

I’m with all you Stafford fans, and also Von Miller fans-GO RAMS!

Wait, is there a coffee table available here? What are they making sandwiches on?

Commercials! I watch them the next day online.

The game is fixed. Why bother watching?

If Brad and Toni are there, then who’s watching Shannon so that her father never ever has to?

From what I heard, all of the ads have been available online all week.

Yep. No one gives a crap about football. But I wonder if we’ll ever get bored of super bowl ads?

I hope they show the full version of the Walter the Cat ad.

I don’t know why some people feel the need to announce what they are not interested in. I have no interest in baseball, cosplay, or micro brewing, but strangers don’t care what my hobbies are. I would never go to a brewery and announce my disdain for the craft/hobby. Nor would I go to ComicCon and say how boring I find their activities.

@lvlax – Commercials…oh sorry Bengals!

That’s about the truth. Most people at a SB party are not there to watch the game.

No wonder the Fuse is having money issues if it’s closed on Super Bowl Sunday (either that or the Degroots are incredibly crappy bosses, for chilling out at home while their employees are going it alone on one of the busiest days of the year.)

Only reason to watch.

Rather typical of many households today. Though I am hoping for some quality promos for upcoming movies. Got to assuage the 49ers not making it in. (Though maybe the Rams winning won’t be so horrible if it gets Eric Weddle a ring. I am conflicted.)

I’m sure the first ad will be some woke BS

RAMS!!!

Actually the ads are dumb and just fuel the greed of corporate America. The half time shows these days are just a waste of time. I mute the tv for both cases.

It’s usually about the food and ads. Did Toni just figure this out?

Hmm another “Concussion Bowl”…nice day, I’ll take a walk.

Ditto, Rams.

I only ever watched a full superbowl once, the game itself was boring as hell (even from people who were actually into the sport, they said it was a disappointing shutout) but the ads and halftime show were a proper lark.

I’m with Bwad! The commercials are far more entertaining than a bunch of guys trying to knock each other down.

Personally I’m hoping that Chock and Bates manage to beat Papadakis and Cizeron but…oh, you mean that other sporting competition on today.

Is the Kitten Bowl on this year?

As they all gather ’round their 19" television to watch “The Big Game”. Or, is that “The Little Game”?

Well …. maybe tomorrow there’ll be some sort of new adventure.

Why do they keep interrupting my multi-million dollar ads with this football game?

What is this Super Bowl you speak of ?

Everyone loves a good commercial.

Waiting on that Blood of the Dragon trailer.

I’m like them. Rate the ads.

Stopped watching in the mid-late ’80’s, too many blowouts to care any more.Now seeing pregame shows 4 hours long, just have to shake my head and laugh.

Bulletin: Our President just sold Mr. Putin some squares on the West Wing football pool. Terms unknown.

I only watch for the commercials. especially with the Clydesdales.

Must’ve been a writer’s block kinda day for Greg-recycling a joke that has longer whiskers than Santa Claus

Let’s go Puppy Bowl!!

“First Ad Station”

“Psyched Job”

“Pigskin Pig-Out”

“Sofa, So Good”

“Head Couching Position”

“Huddled Together”

No, no interest in it.

Tomorrow: Bets and Gunther? Been a while since we’ve seen them.

I didn’t bother even for the ads. LOL!

Super Bowl? Ho hum!

I’ll take the snacks, though….

4+ hours to play 11 minutes’ worth of game action.

Almost as stultifying as golf.

It’s official, more people now tune in for the Commercials than for the “Game”.

I had the Rams +4. Just couldn’t beat the point spread!

I want my Clysdales!!

Basically, a Dr. Dre, Snoop Dog, 50 Cent, Mary J. Blige and Eminem concert preceded and followed by a bunch of guys in uniforms doing stuff.

Look at the grin on Puddles’s face!
