Since the first Super Bowl contest of 1969, football fans across the US have gathered around TV sets to join in a celebration of men engaged what has been described as \u201cprofessional warfare\u201d on the playing field. As noted by gender scholar <a href=\"https:\/\/scholarworks.wm.edu\/cgi\/viewcontent.cgi?article=6030&amp;context=etd#:~:text=The%20war%2Dlike%20narrative%20structure,undertones%20of%20misogyny%20and%20homophobia\">Jan Huebenthal<\/a> in 2013, as the ultimate football contest, the Super Bowl \u201ccelebrates physical violence committed by hypermasculine players against their opponents\u201d (6). Not only is masculinity on stage in the game itself, argues Huebenthal, but is reinforced in the commercials that fill in the gaps in Super Bowl coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/chrislezotte.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/s-l1200-768x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1736\" style=\"width:354px;height:auto\" srcset=\"http:\/\/chrislezotte.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/s-l1200-768x1024.webp 768w, http:\/\/chrislezotte.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/s-l1200-225x300.webp 225w, http:\/\/chrislezotte.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/s-l1200.webp 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">1969 Goodyear ad<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>From its very beginning, the gas-powered automobile was constructed as masculine. As Michael Berger writes, \u201ceverything about the car seemed masculine, from the coordination and strength required to operate it, to the dirt and grease connected with its maintenance\u201d (257). This association has been reflected in the types of cars historically marketed to male drivers, as well as the &#8220;natural&#8221; driving behaviors attributed to the man behind the wheel. Vehicles with descriptors such as powerful, rugged, durable, and tough were considered appropriate choices for men. And, as Clay McShane argues, in order to establish automobility as a male activity, men quickly claimed the emotional traits necessary for driving \u2013 \u201csteady nerves, aggression, and rationality\u201d \u2013 as masculine (156). The construction of the automobile as a symbol of masculinity has, not surprisingly, been reflected in car advertising over the past few decades. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The early Super Bowl telecasts featured commercials from automobile advertisers who, as Smithsonian journalist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smithsonianmag.com\/arts-culture\/what-earliest-super-bowl-commercials-tell-us-about-super-bowl-180971391\/\">Jackie Mansky<\/a> notes, were \u201cplaying for the men in the room.\u201d The 1970 contest featured a spot for the Pontiac GTO &#8211; long considered the ultimate muscle car. In 1975, a teenager&#8217;s souped up Plymouth Barracuda &#8211; the first pony car &#8211; was called upon to appeal to the young male market. Fandom scholar Danielle Sarver Coombs argues that as the Super Bowl reflected the culture of the time, so did its ads. \u201cFor a hyper masculine sport like football,\u201d Coombs explains, \u201chyper masculine-focused advertising followed in turn.\u201d And as she pointed out, football commercials \u201ccontinue to cater to the male market despite a documented shift in the demographic tuning in\u201d (qtd. in Mansky).<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"958\" height=\"539\" src=\"http:\/\/chrislezotte.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/960x0.jpg-1.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1738\" srcset=\"http:\/\/chrislezotte.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/960x0.jpg-1.webp 958w, http:\/\/chrislezotte.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/960x0.jpg-1-300x169.webp 300w, http:\/\/chrislezotte.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/960x0.jpg-1-768x432.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 958px) 100vw, 958px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Kia EV9: \u201cPerfect 10\u201d<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The car commercials that aired at the 2024 Super Bowl \u2013 although still directed primarily to the male audience \u2013 were decidedly less &#8220;macho&#8221; and testosterone-driven than many from the past. Auto commercials from the early years were often offensive to women; as Mansky recalls, a 1969 commercial for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=7KzPzzny1FI\">Goodyear Tire<\/a> featured a woman in distress with the tagline, \u201cwhen there\u2019s no man around, Goodyear should be.\u201d However, the car ads that aired during Super Bowl LVIII, although not directly directed toward female viewers, displayed a more twenty-first century sensibility. The commercials presented men both sensitively and humorously; they addressed  automobiles through a nostalgic and cultural rather than gendered lens. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\" src=\"http:\/\/chrislezotte.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Thumbnail_Handle_YouTube.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1740\" style=\"width:453px;height:auto\" srcset=\"http:\/\/chrislezotte.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Thumbnail_Handle_YouTube.jpg.webp 1000w, http:\/\/chrislezotte.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Thumbnail_Handle_YouTube.jpg-300x180.webp 300w, http:\/\/chrislezotte.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Thumbnail_Handle_YouTube.jpg-768x461.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Toyota Tacoma: \u201cDareful Handle\u201d<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The Kia commercial featured a dad who drives his ice-skating daughter through perilous weather conditions to perform for her grandpa in a backyard pond; Volkswagen connected moments in cultural history \u2013 including a nod to the rulings extending gay marriage rights \u2013 to combine, as Ted Nudd of <a href=\"https:\/\/adage.com\/SuperBowl2024Reviews\">Ad Age<\/a> notes, a &#8220;sweeping legacy statement with a product tease in an uplifting way.&#8221; Even ads that that relied on longstanding male troupes poked fun at male driving behavior. The commercial featuring the Toyota Tacoma pickup calls upon humor to demonstrate the vehicle\u2019s role as an off-road adventure machine, focusing on the passenger side grab bar \u2013 referred to as the &#8220;shut the front door\u201d or &#8220;whoa whoa whoa&#8221; handle.
