Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

It's been like that for decades. At one time people would watch FOR the commercials. Commercial companies used to bring their A-game, and debut unique ads that you'd talk about for years.
This year felt mostly like just average commercials you could have seen during any commercial break.
In the 80s, Energizer had ads that you thought were ads for other products. Then they'd switch it up, and surprise! It's the energizer bunny.
In the 90s, they had the budweiser frogs, the taco bell dog, and the wassup guys.
Now though? Ugh. Nothing funny or memorable happened.
Yeah. It's supposed to be part of the fun. Corps will corp, and will advertise no matter what. Having an event that is effectively an advertisement competition was great. Supports artists enjoyable. Losing that is a big of a shame tbh
More recently we had such gold mines as Dietz Nuts and the PopCorners x Breaking Bad crossover.
