Peyton Manning stars in funny new Nationwide commercial

Following the success of his “Paintin’ Manning” commercial, Peyton Manning is back with a new ad for Nationwide.

After debuting a funny new “Paintin’ Manning” commercial with Nationwide earlier this year, Peyton Manning has returned with another witty ad.

In his latest commercial for the insurance company, Peyton is “Calculatin’ Manning” in a classroom.

“Nationwide is so much more than a great insurance company,” Manning says in the commercial. “They’re one of America’s largest financial services companies, like how I’m more than Peyton Manning. I’m also Calculatin’ Manning. Yup, [the] math checks out.”

It’s not quite as good as the “Paintin’ Manning” version from earlier this year, but it’s still witty. Here’s the 15-second version of Manning’s latest commercial with Nationwide:

“These new ads showcase how people are frequently so much more than what they appear to be,” Manning said in a press release. “And Nationwide is so much more than an auto and home insurance company. They’re also a financial services giant who can help customers with things like planning for retirement and protecting their long-term goals.”

Manning, 48, retired from the NFL after winning Super Bowl 50 with the Denver Broncos in 2016. Eight years after his retirement from pro football, Manning remains one of the most marketable figures in sports.

Peyton Manning stars in funny Nationwide commercial as ‘Paintin’ Manning’

Nationwide is rolling out five new Peyton Manning commercials for the 2024 NFL season, including a funny ‘Paintin’ Manning’ ad.

A new NFL season begins tonight and with it, a new round of Nationwide commercials featuring retired quarterback Peyton Manning.

Nationwide has spent “the bulk of its annual advertising spend” on an ad campaign with Manning that will run during the 2024 NFL season, according to a company spokesperson.

The campaign is called “So Much More,” and it features Manning explaining that Nationwide is more than just an auto and home insurance company. To demonstrate that point, Manning shows how he’s more than just a quarterback. Enter: “Paintin’ Manning.”

The first 30-second commercial featuring Manning’s signature wit will make its TV debut when the Kansas City Chiefs host the Baltimore Ravens on the NFL’s season opener on Thursday night.

There’s also a 15-second ad on saving time:

And a 15-second retirement “comfort zone” commercial:

Plus a 15-second “specialized protection” ad:

And another 15-second “specialized protection” commercial:

And a made-for-social media short:

“The commercials are always fun, but they’re so much more – they’re also a way to help people understand what ‘On Your Side’ really means,” Manning said in a press release. “The Nationwide team is there for their customers to help them through challenging and difficult times. I know how important it is to have teammates that you can count on to have your back, and Nationwide sharing that mentality is important to me.”

This marks the 11th year that Manning has made commercials with Nationwide. 

“Can you believe that?” Nationwide CMO Ramon Jones said. “That famous chicken parm ad that aired way back in 2015. Since then, Peyton has appeared in over a dozen nationwide ads. It’s been a pleasure to partner with Peyton Manning for more than a decade now.”

Manning, 48, won two Super Bowls and five league MVP awards during his 18-year career in the NFL. Manning retired from football in 2016, but he remains a top NFL personality and arguably the No. 1 pitchman in sports marketing. The latest round of Nationwide ads continues that trend.

Peyton Manning stars in funny Nationwide commercial with Brad Paisley

We agree with Peyton Manning — Brad Paisley should leave the jingles to the pro 😅

Peyton Manning has returned with yet another Nationwide insurance commercial with Brad Paisley, this one titled “Songversation.”

In the ad, Manning pitches the idea of making a new song to promote Nationwide’s services.

“Maybe leave the songs to me,” Manning says after exchanging lyric ideas with Paisley.

“But I’m the one with three Grammys,” Paisley responds.

That led to this exchange:

Manning: “I’m kind of the jingle guy.”

Paisley: “Not sure I agree with that.”

Manning: “Well, I’m not sure I like your hat.”

Paisley: “Well, it would never fit on you.”

Manning: “Wow.”

Check out the 30-second commercial below:

Manning has also appeared in recent commercials for Bud Light, Caesars, Subway, Netflix, the Olympics, the NBA and Bush’s Beans. Even in retirement, Manning remains one of the most sought-after pitchman for companies who want to advertise products and services to sports fans.

After starring in one Super Bowl commercial last season and three Super Bowl commercials two years ago, Manning seems likely to return for the Big Game in 2024. Super Bowl LVIII will be played on Feb. 11.
