I believe watching most commercial TV is one of  the most pernicious influences on your health. One of the best things you can do is wean yourself off of this destructive habit.

However, absolutes are rarely appropriate, and there are some exceptions that can be made for watching TV. It is my belief that Super Bowl commercials qualify in this area as long as you disengage yourself from the commercial message and focus on the humor.

Humor provides a natural boost to your health, and that's a good thing.

With that in mind, the commercials aired during the Super Bowl are some of the funniest programs aired on TV. This year, Google has made it easier than ever for you to watch them for free and bypass the game altogether.

Hard to imagine the average 30-second commercial slot aired during the Super Bowl costs companies $2.5 million, not to mention the expense of producing it. But, because the Super Bowl is usually the highest-rated TV show of the year, you typically see a lot of mega-companies selling fast food, beer and soft drinks that are clearly not good for your health.
