I don't know if it's hyperbole to say it but the Super Bowl is the one TV event where the ads are much more anticipated than the programme itself.
Speak for yourself. I’m greatly enjoying the game, just as I do the rest of the season.
If you’re not interested, fair enough.
Well good for you that you can appreciate the gameplay. FWIW, I can't understand, concentrate on and follow an American Football match not least because the game clock stops once every five seconds whereas a 'global' football game clock goes on continuously.
I dont watch NFL or American football, but I watched the game, but I think you may be missing the point. Of course in the Premier League there isnt one league ending decider match that can be scheduled ahead of time. (imagine say something like a World Cup final.) The ad's became a thing because the viewing audience is always high. Hence the Ads became an entire thing in themselves apart from the game. Its a social occasion for many people. The vast majority of Americans (preCOVID) have parties. Its a family event. Backyard BBQ's and the like. Hence the over the top Halftime show. SOme people watch only that game all year. Its not only just a day to sit a watch the game, well for some people. Its weeks of planning recipes and inviting people over and cooking. Similar to thanksgiving and Christmas, Americans love a house party. So its a social event. To eat, drink and have a good time enjoying the game, company, family, friends and halftime show. Because you have so many people watching, the ads have morphed into a thing. It hasnt always been like that but has been an a trend that developed over time. Its a huge money maker for the NFL and also billion dollar generator for the host city (Pre-Covid). Hotels, restaurants, shops and tourism, Think something on the scale of a one-day Olympics.
I understand the BBC's issues advertisements because of its remit.... But i find the hand-wringing over the ads and jumping around like a frog in a hot frying pan to keep from showing them.....kinda funny. "Cant show this part because they showed that Pepsi can. But you can show the stadium full of ads because no one said anything about the ads, and you werent directed to buy.....blah blah." Oh BBC you are so cute sometimes.
The BBC was similar to Jada Essence Hall during the Superbowl
Says everything you need to know about NFL that during it's flagship event it's the ads which are more interesting.

Sky are not the same when it comes to this - they regularly let promos for host broadcaster programming through and even during the Super Bowl a full sponsor announcement for Verizon got through. But Sky are a commercial broadcaster, the BBC are not. It should be emphasised that these are in game announcements typically read by the commentary crew and not the famous advertisements which air during commercial breaks - none of those air here and Sky sell their own commercials (which don’t tend to be Super Bowl related).
This is a way to watch the US commercials here incidentally - the NFL’s direct to consumer service GamePass carries the full US broadcast including commercials. And they inevitably end up on YouTube or the likes anyway.

There was no Whisper credit at the end so I think it was an in house BBC Sport production, that must be the first time one has come from BT Sport, i’d imagine. Also odd for the lack of any BBC Sport branding on the set or even the screens.

Case and point..
"LOOK OVER THERE!"

If the BBC allowed adverts through, people would complain.
When the BBC go to lengths to prevent adverts from coming through, people are complaining.
