If you woke up on a beer-stained “who dat?” nation floor, then perhaps you missed the really important part of last night’s Super Bowl: the commercials. Nachos were grossly under-represented, but they did offer up a few cameo appearances.

What you, thought we didn’t have iPhones? We’re bloggers; we keep them handy in our internet mogul toolbelt. But when we’re not snapping pics of heaping nacho platters or tweeting our every waking thought, sometimes we just need to unwind with an entertaining game on our otherwise all-business mobile phone.

All of us at NachosNY have iPhones, except Dan the Apprentice, but that’s because he doesn’t have a phone, I think. Since the announcement of the Apple iPad, I’ve been scouring my brain for something to connect nachos with the iPad.Sadly, I basically gave up.

Charlotte Gainsbourg’s new album, IRM, drops today, but this duet with Beck, “Heaven Can Wait”, has been around for about two months. Video embedded. Head to about 00:36 to see the scene featuring two buddies holding a nacho bomb.

After Señor Nacho’s revealing Advertising Investigation: Taco Bell, it got me thinking about what kind of commercials the “Mexican” chain might offer up. As you might imagine, it’s a treasure trove of hilarity which may make you throw up a bit in your mouth.

I’m not gonna pretend that Paul Blart: Mall Cop is a good film worth checking out, but a friend recommended this scene for the “Nachos in the Media” column. Blart certainly illustrates a common problem about ‘cho-fficianados.

Last week, we took a look a classic nacho movie moment. Stepping away from edible cinema, we’ll move into TV commercials this week and see what exactly American advertisers want to pass off under the title, “nacho”. I have to say, in my extensive research, the word itself is applied to so many things that just shouldn’t exist.

Love, murder, kidnapping, Neil Diamond, cursing nuns and that guy from Tenacious D are just a few of the components that make up the acquired taste humor of Dennis Dugan’s 2001 Saving Silverman. Oh yeah, and nachos.
