The Superbowl (now w/ @)

[babsbunny]

It's time. This year, I'm here for the halftime and commercials.

ICYMI: All women flyover. Huzzah!

Same. Loved Chris Stapleton though!

We made Philly cheesesteak calzones (and a BBQ one). We’ve been doing themed pizzas for 10 or so year, and I mixed it up with calzones this year.

That said, I have such a hard time watching football anymore. I wouldn’t except, I’m already on the couch and H will turn it on as soon as the news is over. We are old. We watch the nightly news every night 😂

Affleck at the Dunks in Meffah.

Well, I’m sure I would have heard another way, but I like seeing the new movie teasers. New Indiana Jones 😍😍😍

I’m loving Serena in all these commercials!!

My company is giving us 2 holiday hours tomorrow morning so we can start at 11 - even though we work from home! #philly

I saw all these talks about the Jesus commercials and how they have such mixed messages. It’ll be interesting to see the talk after they air.

I just finished reading an article about them. Despite their more liberal messages, they're heavily funded by conservative groups. I've, oddly enough, been seeing their digital campaign through reddit and I've wondered.

I’ve felt this way the last several years. No real zingers for a LONG time.

I love Rihanna but she doesn’t seem enthusiastic.

I thought she might be, but her baby was only born 9 months ago. I think she just has a normal post pregnancy body!

[pumpkin]

Thus far I’ve been underwhelmed by the ads and the halftime show has been fine, but not exciting.

It’s been a few years since I’ve really enjoyed the ads.

[mcppalmbeach]

@@@@@@@@@@

I don’t enjoy football so I’m in another room reading. My family called me out to watch the halftime show because I really like Rihanna, but I didn’t like it 🤷‍♀️ my friend was texting me that she was happy she was normalizing having a belly after having a baby, but now I’m reading she’s pregnant so good for her if that’s the case, but meh to the show.

Or maybe she had a baby less than a year ago, and had better things to do (like keep a tiny human alive) than meet the patriarchy’s expectations for post-partum celebrities.

(To them of course, not to you)

I am really disappointed by the choreography and costuming, actually. I found it hard to see what they were doing in the baggy clothes, even though they are obviously super skilled.

[icedcoffee]

@@@

Using the Super Bowl to announce a pregnancy is giving me flashbacks to being IF and having announcements at holidays. I’m feeling a little 😒 about it.

If that is what’s going on. Which I think is, but I also feel kind of gross speculating because I don’t like to assume unless I’m told or a head is crowning.

We need some TW @@s above.

Well let's see, if you doink after you have your baby you can get pregnant again. My mother got pregnant about a month after I was born. Yes, side eye my dad.

She's doing the belly cradle. She either is or she isn't. I'm not body shaming her. She looks beautiful.

[cous0226]

Ads haven’t been great. I wanted to love Rihanna but just couldn’t get into it. I don’t know what could have made it better.

[icedcoffee]

The flying was cool and obviously the dancers were great but the costuming sucked. Especially Rhianna’s. I was so distracted by the tarp draped over her. LOL. She’s beautiful and talented but this was just ok.

[lillaguma]

I feel the same, it seemed to start off really strong with the flying stages and the dancers were great. But it just didn't seem to go anywhere...I kept waiting for her huge drapey coat to become something else- not an even larger drapey coat.

[chilerellanos]

I didn’t love it. I wanted to. But it was just fine.

[TR]

Should’ve brought Tom Holland out for Umbrella.

This! No costume change, no flinging of big coat thing-y.

@@@@@@
All over Twitter it is saying this was her baby #2 announcement.


I was very underwhelmed by that half time. She has an amazing voice but the "visual show" was meh. If you closed your eyes,you didn't miss anything.
