The 3 Best Commercials from Super Bowl 58

Another NFL season has come and gone. Andy Reid and the Chiefs have solidified their dynasty with back to back Super Bowl wins. Good for Andy. I really like him. For much of Super Bowl 58 the game was boring. A defensive battle, that just isn't fun. So until the end of the game the only really entertaining stuff we had was the commercials. The hype for the commercials can be a little overblown and lead to what people may perceive as a down year for the spots. Not this year. There were some really good ones that ran during the game yesterday. I liked a lot, but I've got my top 3.

#3 Dunkin': The Dunkings

Ben Affleck brings in his friends in a commercial full of heavy hitters. He's done a really good job poking fun at himself in recent months with his Dunkin' campaign. This one sees him performing with his music group, The Dunkings. Tom Brady, Matt Damon (who is hysterical in the commercial), J-Lo, Fat Joe and Jack Harlow. Ben diving headfirst into the whole Boston thing, accent and all, but Matt Damon steals the spotlight in this commercial.

#2 Paramount+: Paramount Mountain

They've done the Paramount Mountain thing before, but this one was so good. Different characters and people from shows you can find on Paramount+ are all trying the get up a mountain shelf. Patrick Stewart telling Drew Barrymore to shut her face is enough, but this spot had so much more. Thomas Lennon as his Lt. Jim Dangle character, Hey Arnold, Knuckles, Creed, Peppa Pig. Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa can't throw the grappling hook high enough, probably because it's cold weather and he's a terrible QB in the cold. This commercial was so good, but falls about a millimeter short from the top spot.

#1 Etsy: Gift Mode

This is my favorite. It's simple, but there is so much hilarious stuff buried in it that you may have missed during the game. First, the guy reacting to seeing the Statue of Liberty gift by saying "oh crap, that's a really good gift." It's such a good reaction for normal people, who know they have to repay a gift. When their gift to France arrives, it's a cheese board. The French are very excited and if you pay attention you can hear everyone continuing to excitedly yell, "oh la la". They cut to the celebration in the town square and people are still shouting "oh la la", but the crowd is tossing french baguettes in the air during their celebration. It's just great. Take a look.

I hope to one day be excited about something the way the French in the commercial are excited about a "plateau du fromages!!"

Happy National Football Hangover Day. Well, not HAPPY. Football is over for the season.

On the bright side, it was an exciting game. Both teams were in it the whole time and even took it into overtime. It will go down as a certified Super Bowl classic. Both teams showed up with stellar defense and made it a close game. Above all, it was a great end to a long season.

The overtime finish made it a late night. None of us wanted to get up early and show up to work today. As we know, Super Bowl Sunday is a day when sports fans gather together to celebrate and indulge in food and drink, some in more excess than others. It’s estimated nearly 14 million people call into work “sick” the day after the big game. If this applies to you, congratulations! You officially join millions of other fans nursing a massive football hangover and headache!

National Football Hangover Day was started by ESPN host and sports personality Katie Nolan in January 2019. Nolan reasoned that the eventfulness of staying up late to watch football deserves an entire day to recover the day after.

The “Hair of the Dog” seems to be the cure for a hangover, and depending on where you live, the recipe varies. Add common ingredients like tomato or clamato juice. Or a raw egg, a dash of Tabasco sauce and Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and vodka to a blender. Then drink it. It will lead you in the right direction for recovery!

Share your favorite recovery recipes. It's no fun to suffer alone. And if you can share something that works for you, it may help another person feel better. You never know which old family recipes will take off and help other hangover sufferers!

Get ready for next season. If you're bummed about the football season being over, don't fret. Prepare yourself for another epic season. Will you cheer on another team or stay loyal as ever?

Share your hangover experience on social media using #FootballHangoverDay. It is a national day after all! Other people may be going through that you are. Remind yourself that you're not alone in this!
