Why aren’t Super Bowl ads funny anymore?
-I vaguely remember them being at least somewhat amusing or eliciting a chuckle roughly 14-15 years ago, but now they’re not even enough remotely entertaining.

shareBecause corporations think we unwashed masses need to be preached to by Bruce Springsteen. 🙄
shareI thought the one about Norway was funny.
shareHumor isn't possible without being at the expense of somebody or something. All humor is outlawed. Vaguely silly is remotely acceptable, but just barely.
shareApparently, it's now acceptable to make fun of women named Karen (a name I've always liked), but, you're right, everything else has become suspect.
shareI still can't believe people watch the Super Bowl for a bunch of idiotic commercials. There's already too much advertising and name-dropping of sponsors throughout the regular broadcasts. Even the stadiums are named after some corporation.
shareI can’t believe people watch the Super Bowl at all.
shareThese days i'm too busy working the grill to watch the commercials during the Super Bowl, but when I was a kid I always looked forward to it. I almost got into advertising just to make commercials. I've always found the notion of a 30 second comedy skit that has to explain and sell a product at the same time to be very clever business. But now that we live in internet age and all those commercials will be online and in my various social media feeds the minute they broadcast, tuning in for the commercials is especially pointless.
shareBecause there's an Agenda to be driven, and a narrative to be maintained.
No room for actual comedy.
They are fueled by the hate of/from the left which isn't funny.
