Friday blog question: Which personality that ruins Super Bowl parties are you?

Cracked.com ran this article recently on “The 11 Personalities Guaranteed to Ruin Your Super Bowl Party.” So I asked the rest of the OMA staff: Which one are you? Being the advertising junkies that we are, it wasn't terribly surprising to see that we'd bury your Super Bowl party. At least we'd be terribly entertaining doing it, though! :)

I'm the 12th personality: The "Too Cool for Football Guy." You won't find me watching the Super Bowl. I'm actually thinking of skipping town to avoid it! Joseph Jaramillo

And I'm the 13th kind: “While all you idiots are cheering over two squads of multi-millionaires playing a child’s game, I’m going to take advantage of a shopping mall devoid of people.” 'Cause I hate crowds, and I need new pants. Eric Reid

I’m more of the “kinda know what’s going on, but if the game is boring, I’ll get distracted easily” type of gal. And I do LOVE the commercials! And this year I’m going for the Patriots, so hopefully I’ll be more into it! Ellen Stevens

I would say I go through various stages during the process. At first, I’m the squares pool guy (#4) and I put my money down with as much as I have in my wallet. Then I dive into the food and booze and eventually get loud and obnoxious (#6 – girl who cheers too much). We wrap things up with additional food and booze (#3 – national holiday guy) Chris Sietsema

I could only be one: The Guy Who Hasn't Paid Attention to the NFL in a Decade. I haven't watched a SuperBowl since John Elway and the Broncos were in it a few years in a row. I figured if I'm I am going to be bored stiff and sleep through something it might as well be a little entertaining, Golden Girls perhaps? Nelson Jim

#11 - it's Superbowl weekend? Laura Hall

I’m definitely “The Gal Who’s in it for the Commercials.” And, having another excuse to eat a lot of junk food that I don’t need. I love how the commercials have taken such a GYNORMUS turn to social media/word-of-mouth campaigns, with awesome contests allowing consumers to see their winning, home-grown commercials live during the big game. It’s seriously everyone’s “15 minutes” of fame and a great way to launch your career, for all those struggling actors/directors out there. The PR generated from big promotions like these also is a slam-dunk (I was fresh out of cheesy football clichés) for the companies putting them out there. I’m excited to see the Doritos ad - unsigned bands were asked to submit an original song. Consumers voted for the song they liked the best on their web site and the winning song, along with the band performing it, will be in a professionally-produced music video during the game. Look out American Idol! Doritos may have a new way to give people a shot at stardom! Amy Rushia

Okay, so I’m the guy who’s “in it for the commercials”. First, it’s the business I’m in and I have to provide commentary on the commercials the next morning on TV. Second because more times than not they are better than the game. I know it’s hard for avid football fans to hear that but it’s the truth, although this year may be an exception. Besides if you didn’t pay attention to them how would you know what to grab out of the refrigerator between innings? (I meant quarters - Freudian slip.) Lastly, I have just two words for why you should pay attention to this year’s commercials over the game: Victoria’s Secret. Roger Hurni

I'm actually a combination of quite a few of these on the list: The Guy Who Hasn't Paid Attention to the NFL in a Decade Given that I'm an Arizona native and not a masochist I don't really have a football team to root for. Therefore I haven't had much reason to watch the NFL until I joined some fantasy leagues in the last couple of years. The "Tomorrow Should Definitely Be a National Holiday" Guy Seriously. Even a half day would be nice. Maybe just a couple hours in the morning even. The "Told You So" Guy The only reason I included this one was because I predicted the release of a new razor with 6 blades, the Gillette Fusion. Personally I'm a huge fan of the razor industry for one reason...persistent and ludicrous number of blades competition. I'll let The Onion expand upon this topic where my words may fall short...even though this article is a few years old and only talks about 5 blades. Five blades is sooooo 2004. The "Fantasy Football Guy" Since I'm in three different leagues now every year I usually have some insight into the players on either team. However, since any comment I make could require elaboration given someone else having a strong opinion I tend to make these comments brief and obvious like "Tom Brady sure is neat." Or I'll even make irrelevant observations like "Remember when Andrew Walter was sacked three times in a row against Seattle?" Given my various roles this Sunday I think I'll be able to keep myself and those around me somewhat entertained. I'm also crossing my fingers for a 7-blade razor...YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST!
