Some people watch for the game, and some watch for the ads… and I thought it’d be fun to play a game for those in the U.S. and other places that are able to watch the big event. The rule for this to count only the the ads during the game – not preshow or postshow – and only for the first airing (if an ad repeats, you don’t have to count it again). Keep a running tally of if these events happen and the corresponding amounts, then pay the total at the end via the “Tribute” link on my Niteflirt profile. It’s hard to imagine a loser like you being invited to a party, but if you are, DVR the game so you can skim back through the ads later.
$1 for any games with a football tie-in (not for the NFL or later in the game, but for example, if Doritos or Pepsi had a football themed ad)
$1 for every movie trailer
$2 for each ad centered around a live dog, cat, monkey and/or horse(s), but not other animals.
$4 for each ad featuring another kind of animal (live, not animated movies or company mascots).
$1 for each movie or TV star in a promo that you can name. $2 if you know you should know their name but can’t think of it.
$1.50 for any ad focused on a well-known musician
$3 for any ads with people singing together (think “I Want to Buy the World a Coke”)
$2.50 for each “sex sells” type of ad (think GoDaddy ads with Danica or Coke ad with Lucky V back in the day)
$5 for any commerical with a guy getting kicked in the nuts, or landing on them
I think that should give plenty of things to look for and tally 😉 There may be some variation due to local commercials, and if you miss a few during a bathroom break, that’s okay … but add up what you do catch, and be sure to send the total to the one Superior that is truly worthy of your cash – Master Josh.
