Few things can detract from the fun of Super Bowl Sunday, but a new survey reveals that some big game party guests may find themselves uninvited next year. The survey, conducted by CouponCabin.com, reveals the worst Super Bowl party guests, with the "know-it-all" – the one who knows all there is to know about football, food and the commercials – topping the list. This survey was conducted online nationwide by Harris Interactive on behalf of Coupon Cabin Jan. 14-16, 2013, among 2,050 adults ages 18 and older.
While the know-it-all is the worst party guest for 52 percent of U.S. adults, a variety of other unwelcome Super Bowl shindig attendees made the list:
- The remote dominator – the one who won't stop controlling the volume, changing the settings and flipping channels – 41 percent
- The social butterfly – the one who doesn't watch the game and doesn't stop talking – 38 percent
- The super fan – the team's biggest fan who doesn't let you forget it by showing up decked out in his/her favorite team's gear and shoots off stats left and right – 21 percent
- The dieter – the one counting calories on one of the most celebrated days of junk food – 18 percent
- The commercial watcher – the one who only pays attention during the commercials – 13 percent
"The popularity of the Super Bowl is increasing, but some are turned off by all the buildup," said Jackie Warrick , senior savings adviser at CouponCabin.com. "In fact, six-in-ten people we surveyed feel there is too much hype around the Super Bowl. It's important to keep it all in perspective, especially if you're planning to spend money hosting a party, traveling to see your team, or wagering on the outcome of the game."
