Punchlines: Have a Super Bowl, a Coke and a smile?


By many accounts the Super Bowl was, well, a little boring. The Seattle Seahawks dominated the Denver Broncos, winning 43 to 8 (one comedian even suggested that Bruno Mars and his fast half-time footwork may have made for better quarterbacking for the Colorado team).

But one memorable aspect was the commercials. And specifically the Coca-Cola ad that's got plenty of pundits, politicians and everyday Americans talking. The commercial featured "America the Beautiful" in eight different languages. Some called it extremely patriotic, representative of the melting pot that is this nation. Others called it anti-American. Stephen Colbert just screamed. What did you think of it?

To find out what the comics had to say about that (and other aspects of the Super Bowl, including Punxsutawney Phil, yes he made an appearance) watch this webisode of Punchlines.
