Some Funny Super Bowl Stuff
When I’m bored I just cruise the Popehat Twitter feed. They apparently spend hours trolling the Internet for funny stuff, saving you the time of having to seek it out yourself. Ken & Co. don’t post this stuff on their blog, I guess because they believe a blog should be reserved for more weighty discussion of serious issues, combined with first-rate writing and clever original turns of phrase. Unlike Twitter, a blog is not — I can hear them saying this right now — it’s just not! a place for republishing images created by others. To use it for such a purpose just demeans the medium.
That’s apparently their view. I have no such compunctions.
And I love this one:
We didn’t watch the game. Note to self: Disneyland is not less crowded during the Super Bowl. Doesn’t sound like we missed much.
Ding.
Patterico (9c670f) — 2/3/2014 @ 7:41 amIt seems the fumbles were not all on the field. Flea didn’t even bother to attach a cord to his bass, to support the illusion that he was playing even if it was not connected to the amps. http://imgur.com/INolP3S Which leads to the question — who was really playing backstage or doing some great synch-spinning?
And, nope, didn’t watch a second of it, either. Monday morning tells me more than I care to know.
nk (dbc370) — 2/3/2014 @ 8:25 amThere’s an intern at JCP who is looking for a new gig today.
Kevin M (536c5d) — 2/3/2014 @ 8:46 amI would have thought Disneyland is less crowded in the rain, though.
Kevin M (536c5d) — 2/3/2014 @ 8:47 amYou know, I have become so used to misspelled and poorly-written tweets that it actually took me a moment to figure out why you included the one from JC Penney.
JVW (709bc7) — 2/3/2014 @ 8:57 amthank you for the tip about disneyland
happyfeet (b74d82) — 2/3/2014 @ 9:17 amFunny stuff. I like it when corporations talk to each other.
DRJ (a83b8b) — 2/3/2014 @ 9:34 amThe story behind JC Penney’s crazy tweets is almost as funny as the tweets. They were tweeting with mittens.
DRJ (a83b8b) — 2/3/2014 @ 9:36 amAt the link, some of the other corporate responses were clever.
DRJ (a83b8b) — 2/3/2014 @ 9:37 amNew York Post headline: Seahawks are Broncs bombers.
Explanation: The New York Yankees, in the days when they were winning World Series after World Series, were nicknamed the “Bronx bombers”
Sammy Finkelman (4eddd7) — 2/3/2014 @ 10:18 amAccording to Rish Limbaugh, Bronocs quarterback Peyton Manning broke the Superbowl record for completed passes.

Oh. That’s right.
Go ahead and tip over trashcans then. Break windows, set fires, and block traffic.
papertiger (c2d6da) — 2/3/2014 @ 12:36 pmThe Broncos shoulda waited until after the game to go to pot.

redc1c4 (abd49e) — 2/3/2014 @ 3:29 pmMaybe Colorado should have held off on legalizing pot until after the game.
malclave (1db6c5) — 2/3/2014 @ 8:30 pmIt should have legalized touchdowns. (Seen on the internet.)
nk (dbc370) — 2/3/2014 @ 8:31 pmAre you kidding? Peyton Manning showed up once more for the overrated hack he is?
PRICELESS!!
Numbers don’t mean crap except the ones they call “the final score”.
Fact is, Peyton has Happy Feet. Everyone has known this since the days when Spurrier put a licking on him from the sidelines. The Broncos had a plan, they’d not give Peyton a chance to get hit, by having him throw so fast no one could get at him… then the receivers would get enough yards after the catch that they’d get a lot of offense.
Memo to Broncos: Doesn’t work against a good defense that has four men on your receiver by the time he turns around… and works even less when the D is also breathing down Peyton’s neck if he doesn’t get rid of it that fast, meaning his feet are starting to experience joy even without a sack.
Result? Interception, Interception.
“#1 offense my ass.”
Clearly, Peyton is a liberal. He certainly seems to think redefining a word changes reality.
Yup:
“Manning fell to 1-2 in Super Bowls and 11-12 overall in the playoffs.”
Sub 50% in the games that COUNT against GOOD opposition. That’s a GREAT legacy!!
Give him some more “legacy”, I say!!
Happppyyyy Feeet, you’ve got the cutest little HAAAAPyyyy Feeeet!!!
Smock Puppet, Gadfly, Racist-Sexist Thug, and Bon Vivant All In One Package (225d0d) — 2/3/2014 @ 10:18 pmI see that some Seahawks players are saying they had a read on Manning’s hand signals, allowing them to know what the upcoming play was. This could be a problem.
