The Super Bowl is football’s biggest game of the year. It has become so much more than just a game; it’s now a must-see event for everyone, not just football fans. There’s no better way to enjoy the big game than in the company of your friends, family and even people you’re just meeting for the first time. Every Super Bowl party is bound to have some characters – here are the 15 stereotypical people you’ll see at a Super Bowl party.

This guy loves Super Bowl Sunday for one reason – food. He is there to eat and keep eating, and isn’t putting any effort in to hiding it. He continually pesters the party hosts all week about what the plan is for gameday grub and if they know what everyone else is bringing. Then, when the day arrives, he’s reaching across the table for the chips and guacamole so much that it's surely the most exercise he’s gotten in months.

"The Master Chef" uses Super Bowl Sunday as an opportunity to show off their culinary expertise. They have been practicing their recipes for months and have ultimately narrowed it down to the three best dishes they expect will impress the other partygoers the most. "The Master Chef" cares far too much about the food’s presentation and takes serious pride in spending his or her time in the kitchen rather than watching the game with everyone else.

“The Motor Mouth” could care less about the game and is there to socialize, like it’s just any other party. They won't stop talking, but everyone is too nice or doesn’t know them well enough to ask if they would please mercifully stop speaking. This person cannot grasp why people care about the game so much and during the game's biggest play, they will be talking loudly about the cool new trick they taught their dog.

There’s always that one guy who isn’t known as the stereotypical masculine sports lover, but badly wants to earn that reputation. He’s clearly prepared a list of little-known stats and facts on the teams' starting quarterbacks and practiced reciting them in the mirror.

“Did you know he once passed for 450 yards with a broken pinky finger in the rain on a Friday night in high school?”

11. Commercials Guy

The biggest football game of the year is supposed to be the most important thing on Super Bowl Sunday, right? Not to this guy. He’ll let you know how much 30 seconds of air time costs for a commercial and won’t stop talking about his favorite commercials from previous years. Once the game comes back, instead of hearing the announcers calling the game, you’ll hear “Commercials Guy” discussing the commercials from the previous break.

It’s not easy for some people to leave their glory days behind. This former jock will reminisce on his old high school playing days and what could have been if not for the terrible coach who didn’t utilize his talents to the fullest extent. Throughout the game, he’ll be heard saying what players should have done differently and how overrated the star players are.

Well, you have to create your own rooting interest if your favorite team didn’t make it to the Super Bowl, right? It all starts with the coin toss. This guy reminds you of the betting line on the game and the over/under more often than Brent Musburger does during his broadcasts. You better hope his bets succeed, or by the end of the night “The Gambler” will have become “The Drunk.”

8. Mr. Serious

Football is a serious sport and this game has huge implications on all of your lives. Well, not really, but that’s what “Mr. Serious” will try to lead you to believe. Don’t let the “Commercials Guy” or “The Motor Mouth” sit near Mr. Serious, or you might have to break up a fight by halftime.

The Super Bowl is now about so much more than just football -- it’s become a cultural event. With how popular the game has become, you’re essentially un-American if you don’t at least watch part of the game. With that in mind, just about every Super Bowl party has at least one person watching their first minute of football since last year’s big game. Be prepared for the question asking which two teams are playing.

There are few things more infuriating to a die-hard NFL fan than a woman commenting on the players’ appearances and choosing a rooting interest based on looks alone.

“Tom Brady should be your favorite player because of his pre-snap reads, read progressions, and accurate arm, not for his good looks!”

They claim they have been a fan of the Super Bowl favorite for years. This comes as news to everyone, including his or her closest friends and family. "The Bandwagoner" will come up with some distant connection they have to the city or a player on the team, like they bumped into the third-string running back in a grocery store or took an online course from the quarterback’s alma mater. I mean, that jersey looks brand new, doesn't it?

4. The Coach

Second-guessing coaching decisions is one of every football fan’s favorite gameday activities. When the stakes are highest, like they are on Super Bowl Sunday, coaching decisions are questioned at an even higher degree than usual. “If it were up to me…” and “Challenge that!” will be two of the most-heard phrases out of “The Coach’s” corner of the room.

This person might have come into the game expecting to stay interested until at least through the halftime show, but fails to make it through the end of the national anthem. I mean, what’s a Super Bowl party without five Instagram photos, right?

By no means am I saying football is strictly a “guy’s sport,” but you all know which of your friends I’m talking about. She’s been told all her life that guys are really into girls who know a lot about football, so she’s doing her best to fit in, even though she really doesn’t know a whole lot about what’s happening on the field. Be prepared to hear unnecessarily-loud cheers and boos at the wrong times during the game.

Fantasy football, at least the normal regular season version, has been finished for more than a month, but this guy still hasn’t forgotten the early-round draft pick that failed to live up to expectations and let his team down. Throughout the Super Bowl, after big plays by certain players, expect to hear, “Why couldn’t you do that all year for me in Fantasy?!” Let it go, dude!
