Doritos Brings Canadians the Super Bowl Ads They’re Missing — Well, Kind Of

PARTNER CONTENT



There’s a reason why the Super Bowl is one of the most-watched TV events of the year for football and non-football fans alike. It’s about more than football. It’s about the halftime show, the big pop culture moments and, for many people, the ads. From celebrity reunions to heartwarming messages, those commercials are what keep many people buzzing before, during and after the game. In Canada, however, many of the ads don’t air on the live broadcast.

That’s why Doritos had Canadian comedian Gerry Dee and actor Amrit Kaur re-enact some of the Super Bowl ads as best they can. But once you’ve seen those versions, you probably want to see the real things.

Music News Digest: Toronto's Famed Dakota Tavern Shuts Down, Juno Week Is Here

This week: Warner Music's independent distribution arm ADA signs a deal with Sincerely Management, The Toronto Symphony Orchestra announces a major European tour, NXNE adds to its lineup and more.

The Toronto live music scene has just taken a hit with the news that the Dakota Tavern is no more. The small basement venue at Dundas and Ossington may have been small (130 capacity), but it played an important role in the city's scene for nearly two decades. There were hopes it could continue as a music venue, but that seems unlikely with word that it will now operate as a sports bar under the name Mickey Limbos.

The Dakota was launched in 2006 by business partners Shawn Creamer, Maggie Ruhl and Jennifer Haslett. It focused primarily on roots-oriented groups and singer-songwriters, and it hosted shows by such big names as Broken Social Scene, Gord Downie, Ron Sexsmith, Blue Rodeo, Kathleen Edwards, Serena Ryder (a regular patron) and Whitehorse. It was also a popular hangout for local music industry types and musicians alike, and it will be greatly missed.
