Heading into this week’s Super Bowl big game, Samsung has decided to poke a bit of fun at the fact advertisers aren’t allowed to mention the NFL’s trademarked championship event by its generally accepted name. The commercial, featuring Bob Odenkirk, Seth Rogen, and Paul Rudd riffing on the upcoming game between the “Baltimore Black Birds” and the “San Francisco Fifty Minus Ones,” offers an amusing look at the sometimes absurd nature of enforcing trademarks.

Let’s hope this weekend’s “El Plato Supreme” is as entertaining as this 60-second ad.
