Each week for The DuJour 5×5, we ask five editors five questions on a different topic. This week’s installment is all things Super Bowl: our favorite commercials, reactions to Joe Namath’s fur coat, our thoughts on Bruno’s performance and more.

1. Where did you watch the Super Bowl? At a friend’s apartment with a few close pals. It was the perfect balance of football, puppy bowl and chit chat.
2. What was the best social reaction you read/saw in response to the game? @jasonbinn’s Instagram of Mitt and Ann Romney enjoying the game. Love it after watching the Netflix docu this weekend!
3. The half-time show was: Adorable! The second coming of Michael?
4. What was the best thing you ate while watching? Buffalo chicken tenders… Hot and crispy from the broiler.
5. Favorite commercial? Budweiser Puppy Love. So good!

1. Where did you watch the Super Bowl? We packed about 20 people into a small Williamsburg apartment to watch the game. It was cozy!
2. What was the best social reaction you read/saw in response to the game? Buzzfeed’s “The Super Bowl Analyzed by a Briton Who’s Never Seen American Football Before.” I know just about as little about football as the author.
3. The half-time show was: Interesting… I like Bruno Mars and thought his performance was great, but I was legitimately sad that the Red Hot Chili Peppers only performed one song. Rock is dead!
4. What was the best thing you ate while watching? My friend Lindsay’s homemade seafood chowder. Absolutely incredible—I need to get the recipe for myself.
5. Favorite commercial? David Beckham stripping for H&M, definitely. They should have played it twice.

1. Where did you watch the Super Bowl? At home with my boyfriend, who fell asleep in the second quarter
2. What was the best social reaction you read/saw in response to the game? Hillary Clinton’s tweet about Fox. “It’s so much more fun to watch FOX when it’s someone else being blitzed & sacked! #SuperBowl”
3. The half-time show was: Short. Bruno Mars was great, but his performance didn’t top Beyoncé’s.
4. What was the best thing you ate while watching? An Oreo milkshake
5. Favorite commercial? Budweiser’s Puppy Love ad wins for most adorable friendship. The puppy, the horse. It was too cute.

1. Where did you watch the Super Bowl? At home, with my family, on our long black couch!
2. What was the best social reaction you read/saw in response to the game? Timeline of photos of Joe Namath’s fur coats. Joe’s fur my personal highlight of the evening.
3. The half-time show was: Smooth. Bruno Mars looked as calm as can be. Impressive.
4. What was the best thing you ate while watching? Vanilla Oreo cookies.
5. Favorite commercial? Radio Shack. If only the ‘80s would return permanently.
