‘Shorter’ Joel Embiid in new Hulu spot with Baker Mayfield, Saquon Barkley

Philadelphia 76ers big man Joel Embiid has a new commercial with NFL stars Baker Mayfield and Saquon Barkley.

The Philadelphia 76ers are currently out of the playoffs after their season ended with a Round 1 sweep at the hands of the Boston Celtics. So, that gives the players a chance to do other things in their free time.

That means big man Joel Embiid can go ahead and film a new “Hulu has live sports” commercial.

Embiid starred with NFL stars Baker Mayfield of the Cleveland Browns and Saquon Barkley of the New York Giants in a new commercial that includes some comedy. Mayfield and Barkley have their heads on shorter people as they say they can’t shoot commercials right now as a reference to the COVID pandemic. It ends with Embiid’s head on a rather small body sitting on the couch acknowledging how weird the spot is.

No matter how weird, the message is always the same with these commercials it’s a message everybody probably has ingrained in their brains. This is just another Hulu commercial for Embiid joining his Mountain Dew commercial about how unhappy he is about the lack of GIFs used for his highlights. [lawrence-related id=37573,37567,37569]

The top 3 dramatic Super Bowl LIV ads, according to AdBlitz

Some Super Bowl ads can be funny, while others are sad (hello, Google), while others tend to touch on the dramatic. There were a handful of Super Bowl spots in this year’s Ad Meter rankings that could fall into the latter category, and according to …

Some Super Bowl ads can be funny, while others are sad (hello, Google), while others tend to touch on the dramatic. There were a handful of Super Bowl spots in this year’s Ad Meter rankings that could fall into the latter category, and according to Ad Blitz, a YouTube exclusive, these have been the most-viewed so far:

3. Hulu: Tom Brady’s Big Announcement

Tom Brady’s cryptic tweet that was sent out before the Super Bowl had fans (especially in New England) shook. What did he mean? Was he leaving Boston? What. Was. It?!

It turned out to be a tease for Hulu’s dram-com SB spot—one that had the decorated QB and Ted 2 actor reading directly from a script. So far the ad has been a hit, too, with the view count continuing to rise.

2. GMC: “Quiet Revolution”

GMC introduced its HUMMER EV with a creative spot titled “Quiet Revolution.” And it certainly was quiet, the entire 30 seconds completely void of sound—even LeBron James is silent.

Probably an unanswerable question: How many people have watched this and immediately started fidgeting with the volume control on the device they’re using?

When considering the commercial’s incredible amount of views, it’s safe to assume there have been more than a few…

1. Heinz: “Find the Goodness”

Roman Coppola, the director of the HEINZ ad, explained it best: “To think of a way that four stories can share resemblance, be on the screen together, be cohesive and visually attractive, and be inviting for the viewer to watch, was a fun challenge that gave a very interesting set of parameters to work within,” he explained. “We tried to be creative and also strict about the form, to make the ad best suited for people to see four things at once.”

And it was mission: accomplished. The commercial currently sits at No. 1 most-viewed in the “Dramatic Ads” category on AdBlitz.

Finally, Tom Brady’s cryptic photo on social media makes sense

Tom Brady’s cryptic photo on social media finally makes sense. 

Tom Brady’s cryptic photo on social media finally makes sense.

There was speculation that he was retiring, leaving the New England Patriots for another team or even doing a tribute for Kobe Bryant. Even though it’s possible he leaves for another team still, the other two options proved to be false.

It was a 45 second ad for Hulu, but he began it by instilling some fear into his fans.

“They say all good things come to an end. That the best just know when to walk away. So to my teammates, my family and most of all, my fans, you deserve to hear this from me.”

He ended it by saying, ““I’m not going anywhere.”

It still leaves many questions on the table for his future team, but he completely shuts down the idea of retirement. Brady, who’ll be 43 years old next season, will continue to play the game he’s dominated for two decades.
