Stupid Bowl (stupid + Super Bowl)

The Super Bowl is the championship game of the National Football League. The first Super Bowl was held in Los Angeles, California, on January 15, 1967; the Green Bay Packers defeated the Kansas City Chiefs, 35-10.

One nickname of the Super Bowl is the “Stupid Bowl.” The nickname “Stupid Bowl” was cited in print on January 19, 1967—immediately after the first Super Bowl.

Another nickname for the Super Bowl is “Stupor Bowl.”

The Super Bowl is the annual championship game of the National Football League (NFL), the highest level of professional American football in the United States, culminating a season that begins in the late summer of the previous calendar year. The Super Bowl uses Roman numerals to identify each game, rather than the year in which it is held. For example, Super Bowl I was played on January 15, 1967, following the 1966 regular season.

Between them and their puerile and obnoxious “war”—like two kids arguing: “My father can beat your father”—they succeeded only in making the term “Super Bowl” a comic phrase; the Stupid Bowl.
