    It’s the Ad Council’s turn to weigh in on this year’s Super Bowl commercials, with hot takes on everything from the subtle song cues that Andrew and Vieves overlooked to a star turn by a local bird celebrity.

    For the 6th annual Bowlie Awards, Andrew and Vieves display a heroic level of discipline as they turn in a sub-four-hour show on this year’s crop of Super Bowl ads, which featured a surprising amount of ass --and that’s not even counting the one with Shane Gillis.
