Oh, don't worry, I'm that old too. My family moved down here from New York just before the Perfect Season, when I was just starting school, and I was at the Orange Bowl plenty myself, between Dolphins and Hurricanes games. Even though it was pretty old and beat up by the time they knocked it down, I still miss it!

I'd argue that it's up to parents to determine what they think their kids should see, and at what age. If a movie's rated PG-13 (or R, or NC-17), then that's fine. Parents can use that info to decide what their kids to watch and what they don't. When commercials during the biggest American sporting event of the year…

@avclub-d80ecbbbef6ab40a4e53d1ad2c3fc1b2:disqus Ah, so you know my pain! I used to love watching Marino play, I really did.

I live in Florida, we're half-naked down here most of the year, so my problem's not with nudity…dude. I don't like the way women tend to be used in the ads as objects, either as sexual objects or objects of ridicule. Plus, some of the humor (and I use that term loosely) is suggestive enough so that there might be…

Exactly. Intelligence and creativity tend to age well. Crude machismo…not so much.

I wanted a cowbell for MY 8th birthday. *sulks*

I had my kid with me while watching the game, and I gotta say - we're getting to that point where I'm not too happy about some of the shit the young'uns might be seeing in these ads. I know football is the domain of grown-ass men and all that, but it's pretty normal for whole families to attend Super Bowl parties and…

I was scarred for life after seeing The Day After on TV as a youngster (and Threads when I was a bit older). I have no desire to survive that sort of event. If there's a nuclear end to civilization, they better drop one right on my house and take me out right off the bat. Fuck that prepping shit.

Passing roughage.

@avclub-518f6fc78175d18f8c6e1da9e20e597c:disqus She used to like the song This Here Giraffe as a toddler, so I tried to sneak in a few more Lips songs when I played music for her, and it stuck. And she's a Beatles fan too, so I know what you mean. But every time I think she's got this incredibly developed musical…

@bradwestness:disqus Of course, they'd have to loose all the video footage of naked chicks and exploding vaginas and shit.

Cool thing about David Byrne is that he was always the kind of rock star whose stage persona had an opportunity to age. You can still enjoy him just as much as an older dude as when he was younger. Whereas, guys like Keith Richards and Mick Jagger are just painful to look at now.

"David, kill the Queen!"

The first time I saw The Song Remains the Same, I was decidedly less than sober, and it made me laugh from start to finish. The second time I saw it, I was totally sober, but I still laughed the whole way through. I think it's kind of impossible not to.

I must say, as a South Floridian, I was also waiting to see how Dan Marino was gonna handle the cameras and spotlights, since this was his first national TV appearance after the news broke about his extramarital affair/love child. He held it together pretty well, all things considered. But you just know that there…

I try really hard NOT to remember emo, but then I see a post about Pete Wentz, and all the guyliner and fringy hair and boys wearing girls' skinny jeans just comes flooding back like a goddamn nightmare. To this day, the fact that emo became as big a thing as it did still amazes me.

I am an AV Club commenter bored with my own comment.

The Hyundai ad with the Flaming Lips was a mixed blessing. On the one hand, the fact that the Lips are now considered a safe enough choice for a car company to use in an ad made me feel kinda sad. On the other hand, my 12-year-old immediately pointed at the screen and said, "Hey! Wayne Coyne!" The fact that she was…

Thanks for the link - that definitely would have been my favorite ad if they had played it during the game. Dikembe blocking that kid's cereal just did it for me.
