The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for February 13, 2022

She’s not the only one. I do it too. It’s the only time I don’t use the skip button to FF thru the ads on my TiVo.

The ads are the best part of the “game!!” The “game” itself – not so much!! BORING!!

/SHMIRK/

Commercials are the best part why do you wanna watch millionaires play a game

I used to do that. Don’t bother any more.

Super Bowl. Meh. Use the money to help Inglewood’s homeless.

Gladys has a good point.

Normal people fast forward through cmmercials….or watch TCM and avoid commercials all together.

I’ll wait until tomorrow and watch the ads on YouTube.

The answer is PIP, Puppy bowl on when “big game” is on and commercials on from “big game” with puppy bowl in the background. I may get into football next season again. The High school is 12 miles from me. I’ll feel better about paying $6 for a hot dog there. Support local kids and families.

I remember a study that looked at football ‘action’ and there was about 6 minutes of play for every game.

fast forward through both the game and the ads and if you’re really dying to waste time on a nice day, pop in a good movie. butch cassidy and the sundance kid, say…

My satellite receiver has PVR. I have about a dozen shows and special events I like to watch so I record them and watch them later minus the commercials when there’s nothing else to do. I will record today’s super bowl game and start watching the playback around 8 o’clock so I can skip through all the talking heads crap and just enjoy what I hope will be a great game including the commercials.

I used to do that Gladys

I’m with Super Mom.

Silly and over-hyped.

Wow, Gladys, what an inspired idea. I could do that and make up a DVD of commercials.

the best parts ya know, I can relate. hopefully they’re funny this year. :D

I DVR the game and don’t watch it live. After its over I can fast fwd whole game in 30 minutes. No announcers – no commercials – no BS. No wasted life.

Thirty minutes of action packed into three and a half hours.

I used to do that. now I just wait until the good ones are posted on YouTube,

Why waste a good Sunday.. catch the highlights on the news, watch the commercials on Youtube. Go fishing, take a walk.. spend time with a real football and your kids.

Superbowl offers something for everybody I guess. However, I am VERY disappointed that Brutus has so little in the way of snacks within arms’ reach……

Super Bowl ads are funny the first time, but get old really fast.

Haven’t come far from the Roman Arena have we? Does speak highly of our level of affluence and surplus of reason that many of our greatest civil problems are centered on ways to forfeit your mind. Booze, drugs, Media headlines, sports, videos, comics, … I’m still thinking … must have missed a dose of something somewhere.

Brutus ole pal, my wife thinks the same way!

You guys enjoy your game. Two of us are taking our therapy dogs to the hospital to cheer up those who are working and may or may not wish they were watching football. We will also spend time with patients and visitors. We go where needed.

Commercials are the best part of the Super Bowl.

That’s the only part I watch and some of them I skip through. Who wants to watch a bunch of over paid prima donas cry about being mistreated? I don’t watch any pro sports. Worthless MFs.

I make note of which products are being hyped so I know which ones to avoid

That’s what I figured, but I’d skip the half time crap.

I see the copious amount of snacks didn’t make it to game time.

Out of 1000 people polled, one third tuned in for the commercials…

RAMS!!!

I don’t see the problem

I’ll be tuning out the halftime show.

I’m doing exactly what Gladys is.

More entertaining to watch PBR!

Doesn’t everyone?

Brutus, you’re not exactly being Sherlock Holmes in those last two panels — she just told you she wants to fast forward through the dull parts (non-football fan here).

Usually just check the Super Bowl off and on, sometimes for the ads, sometimes (not tonight) for the half-time show. Was doing that in 2010, and SURPRISE ! turned out to be an exciting game. Plus it was nice to see something good happen to the folks in New Orleans.

The Bengals wuz robbed !

LOL I did it this year. Couldnt care enough about either team to watch all of it. But wanted to see the Commercials.

Brutus must not know a lot of people too well, including the DeGroot family on the same day’s comics page. But I also know whole families who mainly skipped to the best commercials and the halftime show.
