I thought it was good. Maybe I don't listen to enough of her music. The impressions on SNL are always pretty one-note, I think they work better when you don't know much about the person being imitated.

He put himself to sleep!

That Nikki Minaj impression was excellent. I want to hear the rest of that song.

"No, Brother West, it was an act of whimsy."

It sounds cheesy, but Thermacare has literally changed my life for the better. I used to not be able to leave the house for three or four days every month because the only thing that helps my cramps is meds + heat. With Thermacare, I can actually function - going to work, visiting people, going to dinner. It is…

And, really, if your penis doesn't work any longer, isn't that just God telling you that you're not supposed to bone any more?

This looks a lot more like a position in which you would be working closely with Handel (assuming that the SVP is mentioned in the job description is the Senior Vice President). I am betting that there are a lot of highly qualified people who will be steering clear of this position until Handel is ousted, unless you…

I know! And when one of the players ruffled his hair, it got sort of uncomfortable.

Everyone caressing the phallic Lombardi trophy is freaking me out.

This touching of the Lombardi Trophy is some phallic shit, y'all.

I thought he might have been, too, though there were some dubious parts of that, too. Like A Prayer seemed more live than everything that preceded it. I think there are parts being sung live, but for the rest of it, there is some major "backing vocal" use happening.

I am really enjoying this halftime show, though I don't understand why we are even pretending with the microphones. No one believes that she is singing live.

Um, the cars.com commercial: bad commercial, or wost commercial?

Indeed. I mean, I am a big baseball fan, and they tend to go very sentimental as well, but at least it tends to be a little bit more restrained as it has to be spread out over a series. Plus, they tend to be more nostalgic and less convinced of their own epicness.

Thank you so much for putting into words what I have felt for so long. The fact that the NFL won't let other companies, even local ones, use the words "Super Bowl" in ads without suing them means that I have had to listen to so many ads about the "Big Game" and having a "Super Sunday" that my usual distaste for the…

Maybe a little less talking, and a little more stripping?

This was my first thought, too! Barchydactyl folk, unite!

It is a good thing I decided to finally take a breath. I'd be passed out by now!

Me, too. I find myself actually holding my breath in hopeful anticipation.

My favorite part is the look of relief on her face at about 1:25 when she gets through the hard part and knows that it is smooth sailing from then on out.
