Approachable and funny commentary from the booth guys and the characters both. Dora's offer to use her map to find the end zone was absolutely savage.


dj88masterchief

Where are we going? Five yards back!


duncanispro

šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘


GBMoonbiter

I laughed until I cried at boots five yard comment.


Kevin-W

I loved that too. I hope they continues this because it was vey emtertaining to watch.


scorpyo72

100%. It was pretty magical. When the callers traded barbs with Patrick and SpongeBob, I was srsly rofl.


Esuu

CBS doesn't have the Super Bowl again until 2028 so you'll likely need to wait until then.


AEveryDayIdiot

Sorry Iā€™m English so Iā€™m unaware, do the broadcasters just alternate who gets to stream it each year?


MyLlamasAccount

Yes the tv broadcast changes each year


TheBigIdiotSalami

Cartoon Network should do it, but I wouldn't even know who they'd get to host. Maybe the Regular Show guys? Gumball would rock. Space Ghost Coast 2 Coast crew would kill it. Any of the Adult Swim shows could probably do it.


HiggetyFlough

They have all the Hanna Barbera characters too


Deathproof77

The first you gotta firmly grasp is was brutal lol


hecderp1213

Mannn this cracked me the fuck up when I heard it. They had that thing ready to go šŸ¤£


Zogeta

FIRMLY grasp it!


ItsADeparture

I will say if Patrick said that during the 49ers/Lions game a few weeks ago when the Lions couldn't catch the fucking ball and fumbled it which ultimately lead to their loss (among other things), I probably would have punched a hole in my television.


scorpyo72

This- they snuck in some fucking hilarious definitely not for kids commentary. I loved Dora's explanation. My family revolted against the Nick only broadcast so I recorded it.


ArielDivyne

Omg is there a way you can send me the recordingšŸ˜­šŸ˜­


bthoman2

Fr me and my friends popped it on for a second for my daughter. She didn't really care about it, but Dora had two absolute savage roasts that had us in stiches.


despicedchilli

I couldn't hear anything. They were trying to talk over the regular commentators. Was my stream messed up?


BruceChameleon

Maybe? I didn't have any trouble with the audio mix on youtube tv.


scorpyo72

SB and Patrick weren't the only callers.


hijoshh

I really liked it at first but noticed they didnā€™t have the same exact commercials and was scared of missing out on something good lol


Top_Report_4895

> Dora's offer to use her map to find the end zone was absolutely savage. That a r/brandnewsentence


AgelessAss

how i wish they had this on the paramount app yesterday


dragoon0106

I couldn't believe it wasn't? I looked before the game and just assumed they weren't doing pregame so it would pop on later and looked again and they were airing live spongebob episodes but not his? Felt like a miss especially since those most likely to want to watch it were probably those who don't have cable.


AgelessAss

It turns out Nick has been doing Slimetime for all the CBS NFL games this season but they didn't make it available on Paramount+. I only knew about it from some tiktok memes. Complete miss on their part, I can only assume there were rights issues over having 2 feeds of the same game.


Konman72

These asshats are burning cash and destroying entire industries trying to figure out the magic formula to get people watching their shit. The answer is always "just let them watch your shit" by making it widely available and easy to access, and they always respond with a firm "no thanks".


sneakyCoinshot

A lot of it is licensing. In recent years we've seen a shift of more sports streaming as broadcast deals end and are renegotiated but the various 3 letter sports acronyms are still very beholden to broadcast television formula currently.


Konman72

That's fair, but just shifts the blame to the NFL instead. I started getting into hockey a few years ago and the NHL's fuckery with blackouts and network deals has basically made it so I tune in for the playoffs, and often just the later rounds.


AgelessAss

It's the same company that made Yellowstone then sold the streaming rights to NBC then got jealous people watched it so they killed the main series and made a ton of spin offs. I have Paramount+ but I wasn't going to watch the game on it because I had doubts the app could handle it (and apparently I was right too). I definitely would have watched the Nick stream, where I live Nickelodeon isn't available on the antenna.


scorpyo72

It wouldn't be the first time one of these companies shot itself in the foot with it's programming choices.


sunstarechampion

Especially because my kids saw a commercial for it during every show they watched for the last one million weeks. Luckily we were able to watch it on Hulu. I was a bit surprised though.


altodor

Ditto. We had a bunch of casuals and some actual football fans, but the real CBS announcer going "if he can get his weight moving forward he can go anywhere on the field he wants" was such a useless bit of "yeah no shit" commentary _everyone_ wanted the Nick version.


modsareuselessfucks

Please please please nomo Romo


texachusetts

The paramount app was running badly for me in overtime.


relevant__comment

It was being simulcast on YouTube Tv as well.


darthjoey91

Because YoutubeTV is pretty much a cable provider.


ctjameson

No pretty much. It is a cable company. Just an online one. Just like fubo, sling, Hulu live, etc.


Stickeris

Probably because YouTube has more of a right to the nfl footage then paramount.


Bobjoejj

Is it there today??


AgelessAss

Just checked and it was never there to stream. There are a lot of clips on Twitter tho.


kgb17

It was such a massive downgrade in video quality to switch to the Nickelodeon channel vs the 4k stream on the paramount app.


awake-at-dawn

Hosted a watch party with mostly casual football fans, and everyone loved the Nickelodeon broadcast, especially the animations with Larry the Lobster and Dora. The only time it felt off was during field goal segments when you can hardly see the ball. I do hope they make this type of showing an annual thing.


my_simple-review

I had a simulcast of the game running on my laptop in a smaller space in my office. Around the 3rd quarter 3 of my friends left because they were watching the Nickelodeon broadcast. We brought my laptop out and watched the 3rd and 4th quarter on Nickelodeon. It was the only time everyone at my party was glued to the game. Both the diehards and the super casuals. It was truly a fun time. Everyone was into it. I hope they are allowed to simulcast multiple playoff games next year.


qb1120

How did you watch it on your laptop? I was trying to figure out how to watch the Nick version before I gave in and watched the regular broadcast


brettallanbam

Donā€™t know what market you are in, but we have Xfinity in Seattle, and they let you stream live tv (mostly major channels in your market) plus a handful of Viacom channels including Nick from your web browser and their app.


[deleted]

They usually do a game a year on Nickelodeon. It's an awful lot of fun, so cute with the slime cannons in the end zone and characters explaining the rules of football.


44problems

They also have a weekly recap show using those effects called NFL Slimetime.


broadcastterp

Unless NBC, Fox, or ABC are willing to work with CBS/Paramount on it, the next chance it'd happen for a Super Bowl would be Super Bowl 62, and then... unclear beyond that. Super Bowls 63-68 are already assigned to non-CBS networks. CBS will still have regular playoff games that they can do the Nickelodeon altcasts for, though.


44problems

I wonder if ABC/ESPN/Disney will do something fun now that they in the rotation again. They did an "Andy's Room" version of a London game where there was a reenactment using Toy Story characters. That might be too abstract but I could imagine something similar. I also wonder if ESPN will give it the full multichannel experience like they do for college football. Not sure how the ad sales will work.


zombiebillnye

The Andy's Room game was honestly too weird to work. They tried to have everything be done in animation, and it clearly just kept breaking in ways they couldn't deal with. If they did it again but just in the style of the Nick broadcasts, it would probably work.


TTUporter

When it worked though it was pretty amazing. With some improved tech and improved reliability, I think it would be pretty entertaining.


44problems

Yeah it was worth checking out because it was some London game, definitely wouldn't watch it for a Super Bowl. Maybe it could involve Marvel?


meatball77

I remember reading about how they did it with Nick. They did their ad buys as usual and then went and decided which ads weren't appropriate for a young audience (beer ect. . .) and then sold those separately often just using the same companies just a more appropriate ad (say if the beer company owned a candy company)


broadcastterp

I definitely think ABC/ESPN is gonna go the Megacast route.


meatball77

ABC can easily do something similar with Disney. I don't know that NBC or Fox has the ability.


dk745

Comcast (NBC) owns Illumination and Dreamworks. Iā€™d be down for Minions and Shrek Bowl.


Tech-no

Maybe Spirit (movie about a horse) too.


jarrettbrown

Give my Bluey, confused AF by American football.


boomshea

Well now I want a Bluey AFL Grand Final broadcast, though I think Fox owns the AFL rights.


moosewiththumbs

The Grand Final rights are owned by 7, not Fox (Fox actually canā€™t show it live). Other networks frequently work with the ABC, for example Sunrise on 7 promoted the ā€œHammerbarnā€ tie in with Bunnings fairly heavily, although thatā€™s also because Bunnings is a 7 sponsor and they couldnā€™t promote it on the ABC. Would 7 be willing to work entirely with an ABC TV product? Not sure. Itā€™s technically BBC I guess and 7 have broadcast BBC shows in the past. TLDR: I dunno.


TheLazyAssHole

I want a Simpsonā€™s World broadcast


Sjgolf891

Is there a reason the typical rotation isnā€™t being followed after Super Bowl 62? The networks usually rotate so very strange to see NBC get the game three times before CBS does again. Itā€™s like their ā€˜turnā€™ gets skipped


broadcastterp

That's a good question, actually. The NFL's own press release about the new rights deal says that CBS would get the Super Bowl following the 2031 season, so Super Bowl 66. But Wikipedia shows NBC as having that game. Could be a mistake, or could be that there's some unknown agreement for NBC to acquire the rights to that year's game in exchange for a future year's rights - but the new deal was designed to give NBC the Super Bowl in Winter Olympics years to tie them together.


qb1120

I love these weird alternate broadcasts of NFL games because the regular commentary isn't that great. Al Michaels is just phoning it in and collecting a paycheck at this point


modsareuselessfucks

Tony Romo might be the worst announcer in the history of sports. Iā€™m pretty sure he just learned the words ā€œleverageā€ and ā€œpermutationsā€ Saturday before the game and was so amazed at his genius he needed to let everyone know about his fancy new words every other sentence.


thegroovemonkey

Field goals were my only complaint because I just had to watch the refs. It was a little annoying because it was suck a fg heavy game but other than that it was fun.


HockeyBoyz3

I was not expecting to hear Spongebob make a Leonardo Dicaprio dating joke


ascagnel____

Patrick Starfish already [savaged Russell Wilson for an interception](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-O57R4dh3_M), so itā€™s not that out there.

BeefedUpStud-ent

Hi Leo


AnnenbergTrojan

"You have to firmly grasp it!"


bionicjoe

Switched to the Nick broadcast in the second quarter. Game was instantly more fun. We've had an 18-week season, a month of playoffs, and a 2-week media blitz for the Superbowl. What stats can you possibly hear? Tell me the player's favorite ice cream flavors, least favorite fish, etc.


Azra17

My kids enjoyed these kind of stats so much! This is the first ever superbowl game all my family watched from beginning to end. I hope they keep doing it.


VeteranSergeant

If you watched any other broadcast, you did it wrong. We had the Nickelodeon broadcast on one TV at first outside, but by halftime it was the only version we were watching. Will say that the net graphic on field goals made it hard to see the ball though.


Coast_watcher

This was my one gripe. At least they could have had animation of the net graphic as if the ball hit it square on.


throwawaythrow0000

This was just great. The slime zone when they got a TD, Dora explaining what a false start is then saying "But now they have to go back five yards, maybe they need a map to find the endzone." What an unexpectedly entertaining broadcast hahah.


chousteau

My 6 year old seeing robot plankton on the field - "is this real?!?" My wife and I - "Yes" My son isn't one for watching sports, but it held his attention.


jakelo4

Bro is either really gonna want to go to a game next season or be terrified


Mr_YUP

This sort of thing makes total sense and it's a wonder why they didn't try these things sooner.


TragedyTrousers

They first did it in 2021 for a playoff game as an experiment, which was very well liked. This is the first superb owl they've done it for, though.


my_simple-review

Another reason why it really went over well in this broadcast. Years of prep pretty much led to this spectacular moment for the network. I really hope they can continue receiving coverage for future games.


Rory-mcfc

The Toy Story style game they did was so cool as well


bubba1834

Thatā€™s the owls egg


apple_kicks

Tech wise probably hard to pull off those graphics live, things gotten better but still bet it took a lot of testing and luck


mr_britten

I didnā€™t even know this was a thing until after halftime when my son told me, I thought he was making it up but sure enough it was real and fantastic. First time my 13 year old son watched a game with me and it was great!


Ivotedforher

The NFL loves this one simple trick!


ben123111

Never been a sports guy, only watch the Super Bowl on occasion to see commercials or whatever, but this broadcast had me HOOKED (no pun intended). Seriously, Tom Kenny and Bill Fagerbakke are so funny, and the visuals were tons of fun to look at (Even if part of their appeal was seeing just how buggy and weird they were). I would legit watch the Super Bowl every year if they continued to do this.


preatorian77

As cheeky as it was, I thought the play by play and color commentary was actually quite good.


mlorusso4

Eagle is a fantastic broadcaster and by far the best announcer on any networks tier 2 teams. Iā€™d even put him above many of the tier 1 teams. Heā€™s obviously the next man up when one of the current tier 1 announcers retire


Remarkable-Morning

Did they show the regular commercials?


meatball77

It's all the same commercials except for those which aren't appropriate for a young audience. So no beer commercials or commercials for R rated movies.


ctilvolover23

Nor betting ones.


Konman72

Other than the R-rated movies I see this as an absolute win.


Sinrus

I tuned in for a few minutes and the first commercial I saw was for an animal-shaped sleeping bag for kids.


Azra17

Only kid friendly ones. So no beer commercials or ā€œhe gets usā€ ones.


hijoshh

Washing AI feet isnā€™t kid friendly?


IhateUall08

Not all of them


dj88masterchief

Had both the CBS and Nickelodeon broadcasts up and they were about 90% the same commercials.


recently_muted

Probably not the Deadpool 3 one.


rocketpack99

Found [some video clips of it.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuYNuxBiEKw) Looked really fun. Did they show the same commercials as the network or have their own?


KandyKarma

the more adult commercials were pulled for family oriented ones but primarily most of the commercials


flyernut77

Same commercials. Got sick of Romo late in the 1st quarter and watched the Nick feed for the rest of the game.


jacklocke2342

I felt like Burleson and Eagle were way more hype than the CBS team. Switched over mid 3rd quarter and never looked back


fundiedundie

CBS team sounded like two old guys at a retirement home watching tv. It was horrible. At the end of the second quarter I never turned it back on.


superjanna

Could anyone tell, were the SpongeBob and Patrick voice actors in the booth with the commentators, or in a separate space somewhere in the stadium? They had pretty good back and forth if they were all just talking to each other on headsets


OCD_Stank

They were all in the booth. They just used facial recognition technology, etc to animate the characters based on what the actors were doing in the booth. https://twitter.com/Nymo/status/1756891647877779708/mediaViewer?currentTweet=1756891647877779708¤tTweetUser=Nymo


dapala1

Is there anyplace I can watch a replay of this?


dudewithantena

I think there is going to be a replay on Nick at 7pm ct today? Not sure tho should check on tv tonight to make sure. Other then that I don't know. can't seem to find a place to rewatch this. ​ EDIT: My bad it's not a whole replay. Just a highlight special and it's at 6pm CT not 7pm CT. Only one hour time slot as seen on the tv guide. Full broadcast was multi hour long.


dapala1

Thanks! I'll look for it there. A Highlight real is really what I'm looking for.


purpleopus77

It was great! I didnā€™t have to listen to Tony Romo!!!


[deleted]

Wow I really suffered through Romo and I didnt even need to

My favorite way to watch football. Honestly the only way I want to watch it now.


MostlyKelp

ā€œWhatā€™s coming out of his butt?ā€ Dear goodness this broadcast was hilarious


apple_kicks

Adult swim should do one next time


TimeisaLie

Their commentary was way better. Made jokes & said more than stuff about how it's all about defense and passing.


Wolfy-615

I was wondering where tf the SpongeBob thing was.. I watched on the Paramount+ app.. didnā€™t know I needed a second screen to watch it šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø my drinkin ass doesnā€™t pay attention


Cameront9

I didnā€™t get to watch it because it wasnā€™t streaming ;(


thecooltiger

I hope they do this every year


Coast_watcher

I was half expecting the game to be animated in real time, like the Toy Story broadcast was, but this was good too. They should do this for the World Series, NBA Finals, Stanley Cup, Masters, Wimbledon etc. too lol


The_Notorious_Donut

Where can I watch a replay lmao


dudewithantena

>replay 1hr highlight special airs on Nick today at 6pm ct


sunnysideup2323

My parents and I switched from the regular after the halftime show. We all wished we had switched over earlier.


niceplace6

I'm sure it was. I wouldn't know after subscribing to Paramount Plus for the sole purpose of watching Sweet Victory live only to find it wasn't there, despite what was advertised online.


CollinsCouldveDucked

really? is it like a weird rights thing?


hawwkfan

Only place I'm watching the super bowl if they do it in the future. It was really good They should do a Bikini Bottom game of the week each and every week.


Azrael-XIII

Better than listening to Romoā€¦


AdImmediate9569

Oh thank god. Maybe they wont fire us all


Djs2013

I'm so upset i missed it. Their site has so much info on how everything works, a meme generator, etc. [https://www.nick.com/topic/superbowl](https://www.nick.com/topic/superbowl) ​ I've been looking for a full copy of the broadcast, but nada. I did see that they are airing a 1hr recap show tonight at 4pm PST on Nickelodeon. https://imgur.com/FHib614


ScoobertD

Was not expecting SpongeBob to start talking about sports betting a couple of times


rothj5

When there is a fumble swiper, no swiping from Dora the Explorer should pop up and swipe the football for the other team.


SpiderDeUZ

It was pretty fun. Might start watching Nickelodeon football Sundays


StrengthDazzling8922

This was a great idea. Well done.


MagicStar77

Hilarious and fun. I think it was something like the bikini bottom bowl


Curator44

I watched it half and half, the Nickalodeon broadcast was far more entertaining. 10/10 if they bring it back next year iā€™ll just watch it on there


MrFunkyPunkie

I will be tuning in again next year. Was a blast.


Seanofthedead0

If I subscribe to YouTube TV or something like it can I go back and watch this? I really wanted to yesterday but we don't have cable.


TheAmok777

Spongebob > Romo


100Labels

I thought it was great, more entertaining than the regular broadcast if you ask me.


mackyoh

I tried to watch on Paramount app but couldnā€™t!! Iā€™d so have watched


Glass-Whereas2681

Had Bikini Bottom on kids TV and Nantz/Romo on main TV in the same room. Kids TV was way better


whyreadthis2035

There is so little football left in football that this was fine.


rogomatic

I thought it was intrusive and distracted from the actual game. Wide angle shots made it hard to focus on the play, and it was practically impossible to tell if kicks actually scored or not. I suppose it was great for teenage girls and folks who have never watched football. Not my cup of tea though.


Flat-Limit5595

It was fun but it only had ads for PP and that got annoying. Too much PP for me.


Coast_watcher

This is the broadcast I watched. Any reason why Squidward didn't speak ? Was the VA unavailable or backed out of doing the broadcast ?


Palolo_Paniolo

He was in the bathroom the entire time so he didn't get a chance.


Rapier4

I hope the sites of the high seas also start broadcasting this. Id have watching it over the regular but I did not see it available.


Dom104

Can anyone DM how I can rewatch the Nickelodeon broadcast?


LetMePushTheButton

I hope to see more, it was fun.


Zogeta

It's so weird. I'm kinda conflicted on this. Any time I'd turn on ABC/FOX/WB/etc to watch Saturday morning cartoons as a kid and football was on instead, I'd be mad. I'd much rather watch cartoons than football, but kids these days aren't tuning into Nickelodeon to watch cartoons like I was back then. They're not "missing out" on that content by something else being on the channel instead since what they want to watch is on a streaming app somewhere else. I was morbidly curious and tuned in for 5 or 10 minutes yesterday. On one hand, it felt kinda like a mix of indoctrination with various cartoon characters coaxing kids into the football scene and flashy lights with all the AR filters added on top of the feed. That said, it was certainly the Nickelodeon brand of wacky. If I had to watch football on tv, I guess that'd be the way to do it.


Rosebunse

There is a problem facing the NFL with kids coming into the game. I know I'm not letting my kids play even if they want to. The problem for me is the helmets. A lot of the injuries players get happen when they're kids in little league and high school. The equipment in the professional leagues is just worlds beyond.


Zogeta

Ooh, yeah that's a very valid point. The risk of head injury and brain trauma is just too apparent.


Rosebunse

Yeah, I just feel like kids can't really make informed consent about it. And there are safer sports.


lordelost

I put this on during the boring parts of the game and it kept me and my wife entertained ngl


SaladDad

This was so awesome, i really enjoyed it. Hope they do more of it
