I almost didn't want to write a story about this commercial, because I love watching the best ads these companies have to offer for the very first time on the night of the Super Bowl. I'd hate to spoil a great commercial for anyone who might want to experience it for the first time on Sunday. So if this is you, here's your chance to back out now so that you can enjoy a first viewing six days from now. Just know to be on the lookout for a Frito-Lay commercial, starring NFL stars galore.
But for those of you who are still interested in watching the early release, which Frito-Lay uploaded to YouTube on Monday afternoon, get ready for some awesome cameos and the best narrator we could have asked for: Marshawn Lynch. The five-time Pro Bowl running back soothingly brings us through the night before the Super Bowl a la Clement Clarke Moore's famous Christmas poem, with the Manning family in matching PJs, a game of flick-Dorito football between Jerry Rice and Joe Montana, and, of course, 72-year-old Terry Bradshaw crashing through a table full of Frito-Lay chips in an attempt to show that his pass was the most notable part of "The Immaculate Reception."
That's either a very convincing stunt double or Bradshaw still has some unbelievable endurance, but I'm leaning heavily toward the first of those two options.
We also got to see Peyton and Eli Manning in matching pajamas, which the younger brother said was something that was kind of humiliating to film.
"It was kind of embarrassing that Peyton and I had matching pajamas, coincidentally," Eli told PEOPLE regarding the advertisement, though he was happy to film with his family. ""I think it's always fun when you get to film a commercial with your brother and your dad. So thankful for Frito-Lay bringing us together and having us do something that was kind of natural. Just playing a little game of burnout is what we called it."
My biggest takeaway? I'm moving shortly, so I'm looking for some decorations for my new spot. That portrait above the fireplace of Marshawn leaning back in a chair, reading this epic poem might be at the top of my wishlist.
