Superbowl LII (52)

Happy Superbowl Sunday! The game is between the New England Patriots and the Philadelphia Eagles. We thought it might be fun to take pictures of the game and commercials and stuff, so let's see how that goes? It's a super-sized bunch of pictures!

We got the gang together to watch the game! From left to right; Harvest Bear, Nox, Snax, E.T., TheKyootnis, Fudgesicle, Minty (me!), Tock, Hanaka, Impulse, Borkley, Barkley, and Peppers. We're about an hour away from Philly so we are rooting for the Eagles! The Futon color was just a coincidence.

Who needs me to say "spoilers?" Click on the "Read more" below for the Minty commentary!

Pink sings the National Anthem. If anypony "took a knee" they certainly did not show it on TV. I don't think anypony would at the Superbowl?

Here's the coin toss! I wonder how much that coin is worth?

And the game is on!

The first score by the Eagles showed this guy's tattoo which is sure to be funny for our friends in Virginia. Greetings from this guy's arm?

First score goes to the Eagles! Yay! I had originally planned on taking a lot of pictures of each score and everything, but it was a very high-scoring game so I only chose to pick a few highlights.

AHH! Trailer for the Han Solo movie! Now we have to go online and watch it like a bunch of times again.

Can you see the football going through the goal? Score 3 for the Patriots.

A lucky penny and a wish from the Red M&M that he was human turn him into Danny DeVito. "You wanna eat me?" "No?!" It was pretty funny.

TOUCHDOWN Eagles!

This commercial's big Ogre guy is wondering what this football is all about. Is this from Warcraft I couldn't tell?

Hot Wings and we found some Broccoli Poppers in the store. The poppers were not as good as we've had before, but it was still a nice combo we haven't had in a while.

Had to pause the TV with sticky chicken wing fingers to get a picture of the duel between Tyrion Lannister and um, God? I mean, Blaze Doritos and Ice Mt. Dew.

Best Commercial of The Night goes to Tide. The Sheriff Guy from Stranger Things is in a bunch of "standard cliche" bits like driving a car and he says "is this a car commercial? Nope, it's a Tide commercial" Noting his clean shirt. It continues with like "Is this a Beer commercial? No, it's a Tide Commercial" and points to everyone's clean shirts. Then it ends with "Does this make EVERY commercial a Tide commercial?" If it's clean, it's gotta be Tide. Wow. They just overlapped Tide onto EVERY OTHER COMMERCIAL. Absolutely brilliant.

The Budweiser medieval Dilly-Dilly bits evolve into a big battle and the Bud Knight shows up. He looks pretty cool in his beer-can armour.

 Another Touchdown for the Eagles! Could the "underdogs" actually pull off the upset?

Score at halftime. The Patriots have pulled off bigger come-backs than this. Everypony is still a little worried despite our team being in the lead.

Justin Timberlake with the halftime show. No big guest stars or "wardrobe malfunction" moments. Should we have expected something shocking or is that way too risky these days?

The Superbowl was in Minneapolis this year and Prince was from Minnesota, so Justin Timberlake did a tribute song for him it was very moving.

They showed the outside of the stadium glowing with purple lights for Prince. When I thought what an amazing and touching moment, it formed his "symbol thing" and I realized it must be a computer effect and it was somehow less special than if it was just real purple lights.

Timberlake went into the crowd and this poor kid was too stunned to move. It was obviously unplanned because he had no idea what to do.

Patriots score a touchdown and this funny graphic comes up on screen.

Another fun commercial where Jeff Goldblum races a T-Rex in a new Jeep. Was this commercial directed by Speilberg?

A controversial touchdown by the Eagles is upheld. All touchdowns in a Superbowl are subject to review if there is the slightest chance it's not "real."

Brilliant Budweiser gets a free ad by having The Bud Knight in the crowd! Obviously everypony around him has a Bud Light!

Argh the Patriots score again! It's such a close game!

They like to point out celebrities in the crowd and apparently Bradly Cooper is an Eagles fan. Let's hope nopony roofies his drink so he can remember being here.

They destroyed "most total yards gained" stats in a Superbowl before the end of the third quarter. There was still lots of time left!

Touchdown for the Patriots! The first time they had the lead all game.

Another diving touchdown for the Eagles! Was he still in the process of catching this ball or did he already catch it and was now diving into the score?

They rule it was caught, and then dive. Not a diving catch. Eagles regain the lead!

The turning point of the game when Patriot's quarterback Tom Brady gets hit and looses the football. Eagles recover the fumble!

This could have easily been the drive that would have given the Patriots the lead with little time left. The Eagles scored again and had an 8-point lead with about a minute left.

Even with only a minute left, Tom Brady had a couple of shots and one last "Hail Mary" pass up-for-grabs. But the Eagles held on and win the Superbowl!!!!!! Final score in the picture, Eagles 41. Patriots 33.

Our party went crazy! Look at us all cheer!

Underdogs? Nope, Top Dogs! How do they have the newspaper already?

As they marched the trophy past all the players, they were all kissing it. And after watching that for 10 minutes we thought how gross it was that everypony is kissing that filthy thing! I don't think they cared at all.

They showed ponies partying in the streets of Philadelphia! So make sure to watch the news tomorrow morning to see how crazy that got.
