One of the best parts about the Super Bowl is that everyone becomes football fans when it rolls around. It doesn't matter where you're from, whether or not you know what's going on or if you're just watching the game for the commercials (guilty)-- it's just a fun ol' time!
Only t-minus four days until the big game, so now is the perfect time to start thinking about the most important part of our Super Bowl party-- food. Nachos, sandwiches, pizza and anything greasy goes, as long as it's hardy and semi-manly. But how the heck are we supposed to choose with so many delicious options out there? Answer: go big.
It's surprisingly rough being a mascot these days. Sure, they're the awesome side entertainment at sporting events, but that puts a heck of a lot of pressure on them. Think about it-- mascots are constantly forced to cartwheel on ledges, do backflips in front of thousands of people and just be downright stupid. It can be awful, especially when things go wrong. Cue: mascot fails.
There's no doubt dogs are flippin' adorable no matter what sort of clothing we put on them. Tutus, 'Star Wars' costumes-- it's all fair game. Unfortunately, it can be a dog eat dog world out there, and sometimes a pup's gotta be tough. Cue: dogs in hoodies.
It takes a certain breed of human (or animal for that matter) to perfect the almighty photobomb. The creepy expression, the ideal timing-- it takes a lot of talent. Some jokesters can spend years practicing these techniques, but others are just naturals (like babies). So who's the most recent addition to the photobomber talent list? Celebrities.
It's a dog eat dog world out there, and these days, it's really hard to find true love. We're talking about about the kind that leaves you slobbering and all goggly-eyed and all that mushy stuff. Sure it's rare to come across, but love does exist! How do we know? Well, we've discovered a whole bunch of dogs that are giving us some solid proof.
Warning: our obsession with baby animals is unstoppable. Can you honestly blame us, though? We're already suckers for anything fuzzy and adorable, but when it comes in a tiny version, we're just sucked in automatically. Remember miniature puppies or itty bitty kittens? Our point exactly.
Lions aren't usually one of those animals we go "aww!" over. They're actually sort of scary — that is, unless they come in dog form. No, seriously! Remember when we introduced you to that poor lion pup who got the cops called on him? Well, it turns out there's a whole bunch of fellow lion fakers of the canine variety out there, and they couldn't get any cuter.
Bacon is magic in meat form. Add the greasy strips to any situation, and it'a automatically 100 times more tasty: bacon lollipops, for example? Delicious. The Bacon Cup loaded with hot girls? Even better. We didn't think things could get any more awesome, until now. Guys -- bacon taco shells exist.
Being a dog in today's society must be really confusing. They're probably thinking, "how have I suddenly sprouted human eyebrows?" or "why the heck am I driving Power Wheels?" The answer is simple -- because confused dogs are hilarious. That's why we love it when they catch a glimpse of themselves in the mirror.
