Commercials are always a large part of the Super Bowl experience, and Sunday was no different.
We had The Farmer’s Dog making everyone cry, tons of actors making cameos and the usual beer and Doritos ads. But one of the more controversial and angering commercials came from Tubi.
A media company with a streaming app, Tubi decided to go with a commercial that broke the fourth wall and made it seem like the viewer had exited the game and changed the app they were using. They even enlisted the help of Kevin Burkhardt and Greg Olsen, the commentators calling the Super Bowl, to confuse fans everywhere.
That confusion led to a lot of hilarious interactions with family and friends as everyone collectively wondered, “Where is the remote? Who changed the channel?”
That Tubi commercial came on & I yelled at every single person in this room.

That tubi ad relies on the belief that I would accidentally hit the remote and flip on a random app which I absolutely would
