Early Funny Super Bowl Advertisement

Here’s an early funny Super Bowl advertisement that can be caught on television now.

It’s a Papa John’s commercial featuring Jerome Bettis, Peyton Manning, and the Papa himself, John Schnatter.



Manning plays a referee about to perform the coin toss.

Bettis is surprised to see Manning as the referee who jokes saying, "Hey, a man's got to work."  Peyton was injured this entire past season (just in case there's anyone in the world that didn't know).

Bettis calls tails, but Manning says he calls heads, something that really happened to Bettis when he called the infamous overtime coin flip for the Steelers on Thanksgiving Day against the Lions where the referee, Phil Luckett, heard the call incorrectly.

The funniest part is at the end.  Notice how excited the Papa is to be in between Jerome and Peyton when they each say Papa John’s Slogan, “Better Ingredients.  Better Pizza.  Papa John’s," and then drinks his Pepsi.

The Papa performs a classic spas’ out maneuver.
