For the last several years I have gone to USAtoday.com to access their Ad Meter for the SB commercials. As I just did earlier today. There will be 60+ commercials before, during, post SB. And they have about 40 available to see and rate right now. BTW it's free but you need to sign up which is very easy.

That said the about-40 that I viewed on their site....not impressed at all. They can be rated 1-10. I only rated one a ten, a couple nine, a couple eight. But the vast majority two or one. Many paid big bucks for stars etc etc. Many only mentioned the sponsor at the end. Many tried humor which IMO fell so flat. And it's easy to see that almost all were extremely "racially inclusive" if you know what I mean.

I must really be getting old as I crave for the cute, funny, expressive commercials. You know the Budweiser, solid car ads, funny animals etc. Seems that so many new one are focused on the X generation, Mellenials, or yuppies as we used to say.

I used to look forward to the commercials during SB, they only time in the entire year I watch ads.

Will be interested to see the final tally of the scores Monday when USA TODAY publishes them. But NOT looking forward to actually seeing most of the during SB?..

Those are the demographic groups that can still be influenced by commercials. Advertisers are not as interested in older groups.

If they get to annoying dvr the game come back in say an hour and zap the commercials

Not sure what’s worse, commercials about electric vehicles and crypto, or a rapper at halftime. People our age clearly are no longer the target demographic.

Sadly the ones featured “rap” about killing police, hoes and other unsavory lyrics . Poor choice of entertainers.

Stopped watching football a few years ago, I’d rather clean the garage.

They advertisers don’t get it. We are the generation with disposable income, millennials don’t have any money. Surprising amount of them are still living at home, even in their 30’s.

Yes, you’re getting old. And a few other things are pretty clear. Face it, you are no longer what sells.

For the past few years I have really started to notice that commercials no longer made sense, then I realized that I’m a mid 60’s baby boomer and no longer the demographic powerhouse I once was. Commercials today are geared toward mellinials. Good luck understanding them.
